\u26a1\u00a02. Henry Slade (31)<\/p>\n
Slade\u2019s international career has been a rollercoaster under Borthwick. Dropped, recalled, dropped again \u2014 yet he keeps proving his worth with Exeter week after week.<\/p>\n
Physically, he\u2019s not quite the explosive centre he once was, but his rugby brain and silky skills are still top-class. He remains a go-to man when England need a calm, creative head in midfield.<\/p>\n
He might not make it to 2027, but don\u2019t rule him out just yet \u2014 class is permanent.<\/p>\n

However, Daly now finds himself under pressure from younger, hungrier options in every position he can play. His versatility has always been his biggest strength, but it could now be working against him as England look to specialise heading towards the next World Cup.<\/p>\n
Still, no one will forget his ability to land penalties from halfway.<\/p>\n
