We take at five players who flopped during the fourth round of the Autumn Nations Series, including two disappointing England stars.

#1. Siya Kolisi (South Africa)

Guardian: "Couldn’t get back to stop Steward's try, couldn’t find Kriel for certain try. Deserved his yellow card late on for his in the air hit on Joe Marchant."

"It's been a tough year for everyone. There are many people who have lost jobs, lost family members. And we have the great opportunity of playing this game." @SiyaKolisi reflects on his side's defeat to England and their #AutumnNationsSeries campaign. #ENGvRSA

#2. Jonny May (England)

Telegraph 5/10: "Complete brain fade taking a tap inside his own 22 and then conceded a penalty but desperately tried to atone for his errors."

Evening Standard 5/10: "Struggled to get to grips with a game he was reasonably rarely involved in, fumbling and running aimlessly on occasion."

#3. Wyn Jones (Wales)

Rugby Pass: "Struggled a bit at scrum time, but showed good feet when carrying, and threw a dummy like all props dream of."

#4. Hamish Watson (Scotland)

The Offside Line: " Watson was anonymous, and I am a fan of his work."

#5. Sam Underhill

Telegraph 5/10: "The kamikaze kid seems to be more of a cautious kid these days. Slipping off more tackles that used to be dominant hits."

Evening Standard 6/10: "Reasonably quiet, one lovely flick off the floor aside, before being taken off soon after the players returned from the interval."
