#2. George Ford
The Sale Sharks number 10 is set to miss a huge chunk of the 2022/23 season through injury, which means he has a lot to do to get back on Jones’s radar for the World Cup. With a new coach likely to come in after that, Ford’s days as an international fly-half are numbered.
Replacement: Fin Smith (Worcester), Jacob Umaga (Wasps)
