Lewis Moody has backed young Bath fly-half George Ford to step up to the England squad this week - ahead of a rejuvenated Danny Cipriani - and make a big impact on the international stage.
Three to watch
Anthony Watson (Bath) -
He really has been absolutely scintillating this season. Some of the games he has had this season have been outstanding. He is well worthy of his call up and it will be interesting to see if Stuart involves him.
Kyle Eastmond (Bath)
He is just a dynamic little ball of power. He is evasive, he is elusive, he is strong, he is very much out of the Jason Robinson mould. He is still in the transition from league but he is doing well in the centres. Defence may be his weakness at the moment but certainly in attack he can create opportunities for other people and find a hole. I would like to see him given an opportunity.
Luther Burrell (Northampton Saints)
I would love to see him get a run out this Six Nations. I think he was unlucky not to get a game during the autumn and I think he deserves an opportunity. He is a big, skilful player. He is quick and he has a good off-loading game, which is something that England have been missing for a while. We have the big ball carriers and the guys that make the yards but you want the guys who get over the gainline and off-load.
One that will be missed
Christian Wade (London Wasps) - It was a real disappointment for me that Wade got that injury when he did because he would have had a run out during the autumn internationals and we all wanted to see Christian Wade on the international circuit because he is just so blisteringly exciting. He has that ability that reminds me of Jason Robinson.
