The 12 players I am most excited to watch this autumn

Warren Gatland picks 12 players he wants to watch over the coming weeks. All Blacks want to see more of Barrett and Ioane's combination. France's Genge is a modern day prop who has improved his game in the last year. Johnny Sexton is the key player for Ireland. He controlled the game for them in New Zealand. England's Gibson-Park is also a key component. His club form with Edinburgh has been sensational. It's brilliant to hear him being considered for the England captaincy. The players are starting their autumn internationals this weekend. They are kicking off against Australia. All the other nations are also starting the autumn campaigns this week.

Warren Gatland will be part of Amazon Prime’s live coverage for this month's Autumn Nations Series.
