#2. Ollie Chessum or George Martin?
In the second row, the competition between Ollie Chessum and George Martin is heating up. Chessum’s versatility and athleticism have seen him become a mainstay in the England pack, but George Martin’s physicality and work rate have impressed in recent Premiership games.
Chessum is a line-out specialist, and his mobility around the park gives him the edge in open play. Martin, however, adds bulk and aggression, vital for the arm-wrestles in the tight five. Borthwick will have to decide between Chessum’s dynamism and Martin’s raw power.
Verdict: Ollie Chessum
