A few players come to mind for me in terms of England wingers.


Poor James Simpson-Daniel. Injuries and seemingly no luck with selectors put one of the most creative players I have ever seen in an England shirt - get 10 caps...


In 2008 Topsy Ojo scored two tries in a match against the All Blacks in his first match, to then get dropped by Johnson seemingly over a late night incident in NZ. All of the other players involved featured for England again except Ojo.


For me the most exciting talent I have seen from England at youth level is Christian Wade. I remember thinking that he along with Julian Savea were the two most exciting wingers I had ever seen in a junior tournament. I think if he was in the NZ system he'd genuinely be pushing for the ABs right now.
