We take at five players who flopped during the second round of the 2022 Guinness Six Nations, including a disappointing England star.

#1. Finn Russell (Scotland)

Telegraph 5/10: "Yellow card for deliberate knock-on turned the game. Even before then he kicked restart straight into touch, shanked high ball in own 22 and missed touch."

#2. Joe Marchant (England)

Mail Online 5.5/10: "He didn’t do much wrong, but with Italy there for the taking you would have liked to have seen him break free more. One poor kick."

#3. Louis Rees-Zammit (Wales)

Online 5/10: "Only act of note in the first half was to be manhandled by Darcy Graham when the Scot had no right to score."

#4. Jonny Gray (Scotland)

Planet Rugby 5/10: "Struggled to make the impact he is capable of and made way in final quarter after showing signs of fatigue for debutant Rory Darge who came on to the flank"

#5. Garry Ringrose (Ireland)

5/10: "Wandered into midfield without any real intent and failed to make a tackle, in the lead-up to Dupont's try. Got little change in midfield."
