Polling has kick-off with the No1 position, pitting Joe Marler, Graham Rowntree and Marcus Ayerza against each other.

Along the way, there will be video content debating the various positional head to heads. For instance, May 11, which is No8 poll day, will see a debate around the respective merits of Saracens’ back-rower Billy Vunipola versus the legendary Wasps skipper Dallaglio.

A statement explained: “As we head towards the end of the Gallagher Premiership season, BT Sport will be releasing a digital campaign called The Immortals. In short, the campaign will be a celebration of Premiership players – past and present – asking fans to select their Immortals XV and then sharing the team across social to enter a competition.”

  • BT Sport’s Premiership Immortals celebrates the greatest players in the history of Premiership Rugby. From May 4 until the Premiership final on May 27, fans will be able to have their say on who they think deserves to have a spot in the competition’s all-time team.
