Even though England have many reported injuries, they are still some well-known brand name players in the team- especially in the backs. I think England's backline is probably better than the SA backline at this stage.
I don't watch English Club rugby match, so some players are To Be Confirmed as prospects, or tire kicker placeholders.
England's 34-man squad for a three-Test tour of South Africa in June:
Backs
Mike Brown (Harlequins)- Solid, but not exceptional.
Elliot Daly (Wasps)-
Nathan Earle (Saracens),
Jonny May (Leicester)
Denny Solomona (Sale),
Danny Cipriani (Wasps)- It just depends on why Danny shows up. One piss up and Danny will be sent home.
Owen Farrell (Saracens, captain)- Very Good
George Ford (Leicester)- Very Good
Alex Lozowski (Saracens),
Cameron Redpath (Sale),
Dan Robson (Wasps),
Henry Slade (Exeter),
Ben Spencer (Saracens),
Ben Te'o (Worcester),
Ben Youngs (Leicester)- Very good at selling dummies. Ask Stephanie who is keen to add to the collection. Please do not play Stephanie at flank vs Ben Youngs
Forwards
Tom Curry (Sale),
Ben Earl(Saracens),
Jonny Hill (Exeter),
Nick Isiekwe (Saracens),
Maro Itoje (Saracens), - very good all-round player, high work rate
Joe Launchbury (Wasps), - solid
Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), High work rate, but sometimes matched by his lack of talent
Brad Shields (Hurricanes/Wasps),
Sam Simmonds (Exeter),
Billy Vunipola (Saracens), - Very good Power Player.
Jack Willis (Wasps),
Mark Wilson (Newcastle),
Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter),
Ellis Genge (Leicester),
Jamie George (Saracens),
Joe Marler (Harlequins)- An idiot, but he is pretty good.
Kyle Sinckler (Harlequins),
Mako Vunipola (Saracens),
Harry Williams (Exeter)
