Durable English tighthead prop who has served Leicester Tigers and England with distinction across 15 years, a reliable scrummager and cult figure in English club rugby.

Dan Cole is England's experienced tighthead prop, a workhorse scrummager whose consistent technical excellence in the set-piece has been central to England's forward dominance for over a decade. Despite never being the most dynamic player with ball in hand, Cole's exceptional scrummaging has made him one of the most reliable and valued props in English rugby history.
