3. Jack Clifford
Back in 2015, Eddie Jones tipped the versatile Harlequins back-rower as ‘the real deal’ and tipped him to captain England at the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
However, following years of problems, Clifford was forced to retire at the age of 27 because of injury last August.
He won 10 international caps after making his England debut in Jones first game in charge against Scotland at Murrayfield in 2016.
2. Ollie Lawrence
Playing for England over 210 minutes in his four caps thus far, Lawrence has made one kick, two passes, nine runs for a total of five metres, and 20 tackles. It’s been very disappointing.
Jones said: “It’s been disappointing for him and us so far.
“Scotland was a difficult game for Ollie, but he’s a young guy who is learning his trade. This is all part of learning his trade.
It’s impossible to deny that his England career so far has been disappointing, with him missing out on the matchday 23 to face Italy being the latest setback.
