Is Cheesywosit Chessum? If not, then I'd add him to the list. The difference he's made to England since coming back fit has been immense.

I think Cummings is fantastic, and Scotland missed him massively, but after missing the 6 nations I can’t see how he gets enough of a platform to stake a claim ahead of Itoje, Chessum, McCarthy, Beirne, who would be my front runners.

Cummings could go if bernie is considered an auxiliary back row it'll be 4 genuine 2nd rows plus 1 versatile

Continually - he manages a knee problem all the time, but is now ruled out with a shoulder issue.

With the depth of back row talent available, I'm not sure how likely that is. Already trying to winnow down Curry, Curry, Earl, Doris, Conan, Van der Flier, Ritchie, Darge, Wainwright, Morgan, Faletau, and that's not even taking into account dark horses like Reffell, TWillis, JWillis, van der Flier, etc. Don't really need to be adding locks into that equation.
