Harlequins scrum-half Danny Care reveals which England youngsters to keep an eye on over the next few years in three key areas.

1. Alex Dombrandt

"He's the natural successor to Billy Vunipola, or someone who can play alongside him. I would hope he has three years now before a World Cup to get into the team. There are not many better in the game at the moment at doing what he does."

2. Joe Marchant

"To get through now you have to be a bit different. Curry and Underhill were different to what we had before. An example of that for me is Harlequins centre Joe Marchant who has gone to Super Rugby with the Auckland Blues. Why did he go? Because I think he had a conversation with Eddie Jones who said he needed to experience a different environment to go to the next level. He will come back a better player."

3. Alex Mitchell

"I think Alex Mitchell ticks all the boxes you are going to need to be an international scrum-half, but I want to see him playing more for Northampton. With Cobus Reinach leaving, he will get the exposure that he needs."

4. Ted Hill

Someone else I have been massively impressed by is Worcester back-rower Ted Hill, who I played alongside for England when he made his debut in 2018. For one of the shyest guys I have ever met, on the pitch he is an animal. He is like Superman, like Clark Kent putting his kit on instead of his cape, and he runs through people for fun. Ted has got everything and is going to get loads of caps in his career."
