1. Kyle Trainor – For a big bloke the Bristol prop is quite mobile and very skilful with ball in hand. A good guy, I played with him for Scotland ‘A’.
2. Ed Shervington – My old Warriors teammate had the best lineout stats in the Premiership last season for Wasps. The set-piece has always been his strength.
3. Dan Cole – He’s like a back-rower around the park. His ability to turn the ball over in the tackle is brilliant and obviously his set-piece is outstanding to be the England tighthead.
4. Jim Hamilton – A great trainer who’s always positive on or off the pitch. Has had a lot of success for club and country, too.
5. Jonathan Thomas – Test experience with Wales and Worcester captain in his first season. Mainly a back-rower but he did a great job when he played lock last season.
6. Roddy Grant – He’s been Edinburgh’s most consistent performer for the past few years. It’s a mystery that he hasn’t been capped by Scotland.
7. Ross Rennie – He had to retire last year unfortunately but on his day he was one of the best opensides in Europe.
8. Kai Horstman – Able to play across the back-row and he has great hands. He’s been doing really well for Exeter since moving from Worcester a while back now.
9. Will Genia – Leave him half a gap and he’ll punish you in the blink of an eye. Playing against Australia with Scotland, he was a nightmare to defend against.
10. Ryan Lamb – I’ve got to pick him purely based on his two last-minute kicks in both games against Bristol in the Championship finals.
11. Tom Biggs – Lightning quick. One of the fastest I’ve played with or against. Not the biggest but more than makes up for it with his feet.
12. Anthony Allen – He used to do the basics exceptionally well. Should have had more caps for England. Such a shame he had to retire through injury so young.
13. Manu Tuilagi – There’s not many players like him around. He can create something out of nothing with his lethal mix of speed, power and skills. He’s also a very good defender.
14. Ben Howard – Probably the best player to come through the Worcester academy system. He’s played a lot rugby last season and did really well. Can also play at full-back.
15. Chris Pennell – He was the stand-out player in both finals against Bristol and scored the winning try. He’s been great for the club in recent years. Anything good associated with the club, Chris has been a part of it.
