Vunipola has also been a key member of that team, currently unbeaten since former Australia coach Jones took over following Englands group-stage exit at last years World Cup. Itoje has been outstanding since making his England debut against Italy in March.Englands Sarah Hunter was voted Womens Player of the Year, and Australias Olympic gold medalist Charlotte Caslick was named Womens Sevens Player of the Year.
