LIST | The 5 most underrated players in Premiership history

However, some players have never really got the credit that they probably deserved, with others often grabbing the spotlight.

In order to give these stars the credit they deserve, we’ve taken a look at 5 of the most underrated players in Gallagher Premiership history.

He was desperately unlucky not to win a full cap for England during a successful period at Welford Road, where he was called up five times. When Tigers let him go to Gloucester in order to sign Jonny May, it was actually the Cherry & Whites who got the better of the deal. He brought real experience and an abrasive edge up front to the Gloucester pack in his first season, making 26 appearances and skippering the side on a number of occasions. Slater has continued that contribution ever since.

Day, who was RPA chairman from 2014 to 2017, made more than 200 appearances for Northampton and was players' player of the season when they won the Premiership title and European Challenge Cup in 2014. People often praised him for his lineout work, but he was superb around the park with the number of tackles and carries he made. definition of doing the grunt work.

Wyles was the Swiss Army Knife of the Saracens back three, doing everything required of him well, without necessarily excelling in any one area before retiring in 2018. He provided the Premiership and European champions with tries, defensive awareness and a strong ability in the air. The American was consistently one of the top performers at his position in the league but is rarely talked about amongst the premiere wingers in the tournament. He also won 54 caps for the USA, scoring 222 points

DID YOU KNOW? He then started working for Wolfpack lager, with former team-mate Alistair Hargreaves

He moved to Bath from Saracens in 2003, where he proved himself to be one of the finest front rows forwards in the world with his sterling performances in a revamped blue, black and whites pack. However, he'd somehow win just eight caps for England

When Flatman eventually hung up his boots for a media career in 2012, he had firmly established himself as a fan favourite at the Rec, making 161 appearances for Bath, scoring a single try. Massively underrated.

DID YOU KNOW? He appeared in the same England Schools (18-group) squad as Steve Borthwick, Andrew Sheridan (also of Dulwich College), Alex Sanderson, Mike Tindall and Jonny Wilkinson.

A powerful, hard-hitting ball carrier, Wray is a highly skilled graduate of the Saracens academy who has gone on to achieve success at the senior level. With multiple Premierships and back-to-back Champions Cup medals, he’s probably one of the most successful club players never to play for England. The Sunderland-born back-rower collected both the Players’ Player and Fans’ Player of the Season awards last season.
