Here are four players that we think might have an impact.
EXETER
HENRY SLADE He may not have played for England yet, but Slade is a lot of experts’ tip to crash Stuart Lancaster’s squad for the Rugby World Cup later this year. Still only 21, the Premiership Player of the Month for February has all the attributes to be an international success – strength, a superb skill set and an excellent kicking game from hand and the tee
THOMAS WALDROM If not for his resurgent form this season than for the tries he scored when Exeter crashed the Gardens earlier in the season. Thomas ‘The Tank’ is in the form of his life and provides go forward ball from the base, as and when the Chiefs need it. Unlucky not to be back in the England picture
SAINTS
JAMES WILSON The Saints’ classy Kiwi has proved he knows his way to the line at crucial times this season and has four tries in his last four Aviva Premiership outings. Solid under the high ball and deceivingly fleet of foot, expect Wilson to come into his own as the grounds continue to firm up
ALEX CORBISIERO It’s been a steady return to form for the England loose head, whose scrummaging technique and solidity is a key asset to the Saints. Corbisiero is a prop who loves a carry, too, and who scored in his last Aviva Premiership appearance against Wasps
