We look at the XV who have lit up the Premiership this season, including Henry Slade and Courtney Lawes
15. Tyrone Green (Harlequins) Quins have the ability to cut any team apart and the revved-up Green has been brilliant all season. Increasingly confident under the high ball and an expert in picking “killer” lines, the 26-year-old looks a player with top-level instincts, whether it be for his native South Africa or England, for whom he will qualify via residency next year. Elliot Daly and George Furbank have also enjoyed fine campaigns.
14. Immanuel Feyi-Waboso (Exeter) The fastest-rising star in the land, having ripped it up for club and country since swapping life in National One with Taunton Titans for the Premiership last summer. Saturday’s thumping of Quins at Sandy Park summed up the all-court threat he now poses: strong in the tackle, alert to potential opportunities and hungry for the ball. All while studying medicine at Exeter University. As his coach, Rob Baxter, keeps stressing, he still has loads more improvement in him.
