Ahead of his 10th Six Nations campaign, there's one fresh face among the England camp who has captain Owen Farrell particularly excited to see what he can do.
New head coach Steve Borthwick named five uncapped players in his first squad after replacing Eddie Jones at the helm in December. The squad is also missing a number of stars and former staples, leaving room for the less experienced members to make a name for themselves as a new England era dawns.
"It's very, very hard to pick out," England's 11-year veteran told Mirror Sport and other media outlets at the Guinness Six Nations launch when asked whom he thought the 'rising star' of the new squad is. "I think there are quite a few. Obviously there are some uncapped players who are putting in great competition for places."
