With England making their into the 2019 Rugby World Cup final, we thought it would be a laugh to cast a potential movie in the run up to the grand finale..
However, they lost, and although it wouldn't have the happy ending everyone wanted, we still think it we got the casting pretty spot in...

Eddie Jones - Temuera Morrison

This film would be a sequel to The Brighton Miracles, where the 57-year-old played Jones after Japan triumphed over the Springboks at the 2015 World Cup in England.

Owen Farrell - Taran Egerton

From a Kingsman secret agent to England's main man, we're hoping he can step up to the role.

George Ford - Tom Holland

Baby-faced assassin, we'd back Holland to play the England scrum-half in a role that is an obvious step up from a hardly heard of superhero...

Maro Itoje - John Boyega

Perfect casting. The Star Wars star has proved in a galaxy far, far away that he has what it takes to play a leading role in the upcoming blockbuster hit.

Sam Underhill - Tom Hardy

We've been kind to Underhill here. The Peaky Blinders star has proved he can bulk up and, all things considered, how could we not cast Hardy in this movie?

Ben Youngs - Henry Cavill

Being a rugby fan, we had to find a place in our cast of heroes for Superman. Tall, dark and handsome; the closest we could find in England's current crop is Ben Youngs.

Jamie George - James Corden

The film will need a character to provide comedic relief and there's no better choice than James Corden. Will also give them film appeal in the USA due to his popularity across the pond.

Joe Marler - John Bradley

Billy Vunipola - Jason Mamoa

With his new short hair, Game of Thrones and Aquaman star Jason Momoa is the exact sort of beast we need to portray the back-row powerhouse.

Elliot Daly - Aaron Taylor-Johnson

You simply can't argue with his choice. Same strawberry blonde twinge to the beard.

Tom Curry - Matthew Lewis

One magical flanker and wizard who has been off the radar for a while. Lewis, who is a keen rugby league player, played Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films but has since buffed up and would be perfect for such a role
