Bath stars George Ford and Jonathan Joseph are among the names short-listed for England player of the year.
The award, voted for by the Rugby Players' Association, was won by full-back Mike Brown last year.
Fly-half Ford has scored 109 points in 10 England appearances while club colleague Joseph, a centre, was this year's Six Nations top tryscorer with four in five games.
Also nominated is Saracens No 8 Billy Vunipola, who was England's top ball-carrier in the competition (64 carries) and Harlequins prop Joe Marler, who has racked up an impressive 30 caps by the age of 24.
The winner will be announced on May 13.
