FREE AGENTS: WITH THE TRANSFER MARKET HEATING UP, WE’VE SCOURED THE RUGBY WORLD TO BUILD A FREE-AGENT DREAM TEAM. THESE ARE THE BEST UNATTACHED PLAYERS CURRENTLY ON THE MARKET – STACKED WITH

INTERNATIONAL PEDIGREE, WORLD CUP EXPERIENCE, AND RAW POWER WAITING FOR THE RIGHT DEAL. 🔁 BACK THREE LEIGH HALFPENNY (Harlequins) Wales and Lions legend. A metronomic boot, safe under the

high ball, and still one of the best defensive fullbacks in the game. LIAM WILLIAMS (Saracens) The ‘Bomb Defuser’ is fearless in the air and electric in open play. A British & Irish Lion

with big-game pedigree. SANTIAGO CORDERO (Connacht) Argentina’s elusive wizard. Lightning feet, low centre of gravity – a nightmare for defenders on the wing or at fullback.

------------------------- 🧱 CENTRES LENNOX ANYANWU (Harlequins) A breakout talent with serious attacking flair and physical presence. One for the future – if he lands in the right setup.

CHRIS HARRIS (Gloucester) One of the most reliable defensive centres in Europe. A rock for Scotland and a Lions tourist in 2021. WILL ADDISON (Sale Sharks) Versatile, classy, and smart. Can

slot in across the backline. Injuries have slowed him, but still bags of talent to offer. CONTINUES ON PAGE TWO -------------------------
