#1. Fraser Dingwall
With captaincy experience from his England Under-20s tenure, the centre has flourished as the Saints progress this season. Adaptable at both 12 or 13, Dingwall possesses the physicality for international rugby challenges and adds pace to an already dynamic backline.
Greenwood wrote in his column: “I think he’s the best midfield player of the lot. The key word there is ‘player’. He can manipulate defences, find edges. He’s a young fella who’s had to find a different way to get over gain-lines because he’s not a Manu or an Ollie Lawrence.

“People like that are invaluable. If Borthwick wants someone who can go to a gain-line and pick the right option, he’s the one midfielder who’ll do that.
“I was lucky to have a coach who picked me on what I could do rather than what I couldn’t. Dingwall will need the same conviction.”
