10. Owen Farrell<\/p>\n
9. Raffi Quirke<\/p>\n
Few nations could leave behind a pairing of this quality. Farrell remains one of England\u2019s greatest-ever fly-halves despite stepping away from Test rugby, while Quirke is finally back fit after a frustrating run of injuries and possesses the pace and instinct to unlock any defence.<\/p>\n
Front row<\/p>\n
1. Mako Vunipola<\/p>\n
2. Kepu Tuipulotu<\/p>\n
3. Kyle Sinckler<\/p>\n
There is a fascinating mix of experience and youth here. Mako Vunipola and Kyle Sinckler boast well over 150 England caps between them and were key figures during England\u2019s run to the 2019 Rugby World Cup final. Completing the front row is highly-rated teenager Kepu Tuipulotu, who many believe has all the attributes to become England\u2019s long-term hooker.<\/p>\n
Second row<\/p>\n
4. Courtney Lawes<\/p>\n
5. Junior Kpoku<\/p>\n
Courtney Lawes may have retired from international rugby, but his leadership, athleticism and versatility remain among the best England have produced. Alongside him is former England Under-20 star Junior Kpoku, who has developed into one of the Top 14\u2019s most exciting young locks since joining Racing 92.<\/p>\n
With no current route back into the England setup while playing in France, there is a growing possibility Kpoku could eventually qualify for France through residency\u2014a scenario that would be a major blow for English rugby given his enormous potential.<\/p>\n
Back row<\/p>\n
6. Lewis Ludlam<\/p>\n
7. Jack Willis<\/p>\n
8. Tom Willis<\/p>\n
This is arguably the strongest area of the team. Ludlam brings relentless energy and leadership, Jack Willis remains one of the world\u2019s elite jackalers despite playing his club rugby in France, while Tom Willis has developed into one of Europe\u2019s most complete No. 8s with his explosive carrying and work around the park. It\u2019s a back row capable of matching almost anyone in world rugby.<\/p>\n
Do you agree?<\/p>\n
Steve Borthwick had some difficult selection decisions to make, but England\u2019s depth has rarely looked stronger. With established internationals, rising stars and experienced campaigners all missing out for various reasons, this alternative XV certainly wouldn\u2019t look out of place on the Test stage.<\/p>\n
