"1/10" - Eight of the worst individual England performances in rugby history

Therefore, in our opinion, here are eight of the worst individual performances in England Rugby history:

A disastrous first Six Nations start saw the winger defensively exposed before getting his nose smashed in. Thankfully, things got a lot better for May from this moment on.

The Question of Sport presenter was a fantastic international winger who represented both England and the Lions. However, his one game at fullback was remembered for all the wrong reasons. Total disaster.

Now we cast our mind back to 2011 when England was dumped out 19-12in the quarter-finals against France. It was a tournament too far for Wilkinson, who received considerable criticism after the game.

Paul Ackford of the Telegraph rated Wilkinson's performance a 3/10 and commented: "His touch and confidence have both gone. Almost a liability now."

His pool stage performances compounded the misery with the once world-class kicker converting just 45% of his kicks at goal. Not the swansong he deserved.

Wilkinson later saud in his autobiography that the match balls were a "joke" due to their inconsistent movement – something that could not be blamed on the weather as England played three of their pool games in the enclosed Otago Stadium.

England may have reached the final in 2007, but the pool stage included an embarrassing 36-0 defeat for the reigning champions against the Springboks.

Picking out one poor individual is a tough ask but we're going with former Great Britain rugby league captain Andy Farrell. The goalkicker on the day took nothing but kickoffs in a very poor all-around display.

Unfortunately, he never produced the performances for the England union side for which many had hoped, and ultimately he won only eight caps.

y Care gets himself sin binned and costs England 3 points for a pointless and "petulant" indiscretion of charging into the back of Ireland prop Marcus Horan. Commentator Brian Moore slams Care's act as just plain "stupid" and England coach Martin Johnson doesn't look best pleased.

Overall, his on-field display is nowhere near as bad as some other performances on this list. However, as captain, his decision not to take the three points and instead kick to the corner in the dying minutes, which ultimately led to Stuart Lancaster's side being knocked out in the pool stage is simply unforgivable.

England fans have rarely raged at one man like this. It's amazing how he bounced back from this to play a crucial role under Eddie Jones for three years before the new generation of flankers saw him phased out of the squad.

England were abysmal as they were knocked out of the inaugural 1987 Rugby World Cup by neighbours Wales, suffering a 16-3 defeat.

Jonathan Webb had been England's star man at the tournament so far, meaning his drop in performance was particularly notable. He fell off tackles as Wales ran in three tries while fumbling several very decent counter-attack opportunities.

Not the worst performance - but a moment that no rugby fan will ever forget was the sight of Jonah Lomu ploughing over Catt.

He was simply a doormat to the All Black powerhouse as New Zealand went onto win 45-29. Catt was probably just unfortunate that he was the last line of defence on the day Lomu decided to score four tries, hense why we haven't put him further down the list.
