With Owen Farrell out with injury it was always going to be interesting to see how Eddie Jones lined up his midfield for England's Six Nations opener against Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday.
He has picked Marcus Smith with the experienced heads of Henry Slade and Elliot Daly in the centres, the former playing in an unfamiliar inside-centre role with late call-up Daly outside of him.
Bristol are strongly represented in the front row with current star Kyle Sinckler and Bristol-born Ellis Genge, who re-joins the Bears next season packing down either side of Cornishman Luke Cowan-Dickie.
