#2. Josh Beaumont (Sale Sharks)
- Age: 30
- position: No.8, Flanker, Lock
The son of England legend Bill Beaumont was the star performer as Sale Sharks got back to winning ways with a 27-17 win against Gloucester at the AJ Bell Stadium.
The combination of a bad knee injury and then a hamstring tear kept Beaumont out for the entire 2021/22 campaign.
However, back to his best, we’d love to see a first England call-up since 2016.
