“Next chapter” – George Ford reveals his post-rugby plans with one eye on retirement

#5. Elliot Daly

xcelling in high-profile matches, alongside two fine seasons for Wasps, launched Elliot Daly into the England squad for the 2016 RBS 6 Nations.

He celebrated his first senior start for his country with a monster left-footed penalty against South Africa in November 2016 and the following week had his maiden Test try against Fiji.

Elliot announced his return to the side in February 2017 with a huge penalty against France and that was followed up with a brilliantly-taken try with four minutes left to beat Wales in Cardiff. Elliot went on to win selection for the 2017 British & Irish Lions in New Zealand, and started all three Tests on the left wing against the All Blacks.

He was part of the England squad that reached the 2019 Rugby World Cup final, and featured in the 2021 Lions tour to South Africa, playing in the first two Tests. Steve Borthwick named him in his squad for the 2023 Guinness Six Nations.
