#4. JACKSON WRAY
Arguably one of the most under-appreciated players in the Gallagher Premiership amassing nearly 200 caps in a tough Saracens backrow.
Wray’s performances have been so impressive that he has managed to fit the enormous hole left by an injured Billy Vunipola with decent effect in recent seasons.
Wray hung up his boots at the end of the 2022/23 season.
#5. RICHARD BIRKETT
The reliable lock was forced to retire with a neck injury at the age of 33. He played all of his professional rugby for Wasps, making his first of 259 appearances in 1999 and going on to win four Premiership titles and a Heineken Cup.
