Afolabi Fasogbon
Dynamic prop Afolabi Fasogbon only took his first steps in rugby aged 13, but has since enjoyed a meteoric rise. He joined Gloucester Rugby from London Irish in 2023 and the following year was an integral part of the England U20 side that won the Six Nations grand slam and U20 World Championship. Fasogbon has continued to impress this season, making his Gallagher Premiership debut in September before playing for England A against Australia A. Still just 20 years old, his performances have been rewarded with a call up to Steve Borthwick’s squad for the summer tour of Argentina & the USA.
