England head coach Eddie Jones selected a 35-man squad for the Six Nations on Thursday with fewer surprises than we are used to.
There are, however, four uncapped players named as six miss out through injury. Gloucester wing Ollie Thorley, Wasps scrum-half Dan Robson, Worcester hooker Jack Singleton and Saracens back row Ben Earl are the players hoping for a first cap.
Here, Sportsmail runs the rule over the uncapped quartet and assesses their chances of selection for Jones' 31-man World Cup squad named later this year.
Eddie Jones smiles as he unveils his England squad for the Six Nations on Thursday
OLLIE THORLEY
Position: Wing
Club: Gloucester
Age: 22
Why is he in? Sensational club form for resurgent Gloucester, including finishing off a in November that went viral.
What can he bring? Lightning speed - he ran the 100m in 10.6 seconds aged 16 - and an eye for the try line. Thorley is also an eccentric character as highlighted in this recent interview by Sportsmail's Nik Simon.
World Cup prospects? Slim. With the emergence of Joe Cokanasiga and the return of Chris Ashton to compliment the established skills of Jonny May, Jack Nowell, Anthony Watson and Elliot Daly, England are well stocked out wide. But should injuries strike Thorley has a chance to cement his status as the next cab off the rank with a decent showing in training, if as expected he doesn't get any game
