The pair boast one of the most well-known surnames in the sport and come from a rich rugby dynasty.

Fred Tuilagi, who is 23, spent last season playing for Italian Top 12 side Rugby Colorno. The 6ft 3, 120kg No.8 previously spent six years at Leicester Tigers, progressing from the academy to follow in the Tuilagi footsteps and make his pro debut against Bath in the LV Cup in 2016.
