Let’s examine five players who underperformed on the first day of the opening round of the 2023 Summer Nation Series.
#1. Joe Cokansiga
Rugby Pass 5.5/10: “Endured years of frustration to get back to this point, being fully fit and poised to impress again at Test level. He clocked up some decent first-half metres on the carry but won’t want to be reminded of his missed tackle in the game-changing Davies try which could cost him RWC selection.”
Planet Rugby 3/10: “Dreadful. Couldn’t take a high ball and was awful in defence. Considering Steve Borthwick wants his wingers to do the basics well, we can’t quite believe Cokanasiga was involved in the wider squad.”
Evening Standard 3/10: “Spilled two high balls and was bamboozled all too easily by Morgan for the Davies score”
