context_page_description: List of England national rugby union players is a list of people who have played for the England national rugby union team. The list only includes players who have played in a Test match.
  Note that the "position" column lists the position at which the player made his Test debut, not necessarily the position for which he is best known. For example, Jonny Wilkinson made his Test debut off the bench as a wing, but is more famous as a fly-half. A position in parentheses indicates that the player debuted as a substitute.
