We take a look at five England players who totally blew their chance to earn a spot in Eddie Jones squad to tour Australia after massively underperforming during the embaressing 52-21 defeat to Barbarians.
#1. Mark Atkinson
- Age: 32
- Club: Gloucester
- Position: Centre
Mail Online 4/10: “One forward pass and then followed that with another wayward effort which was intercepted by Damian Penaud for a third Barbarians try.”
RUCK 3/10: Was found wanting. His misplaced pass for the Barbarians second try was just plain bad.
Planet Rugby 5/10: “After playing the ball relatively well for most of the first half, Atkinson threw an unforgivable interception to Damian Penaud to give the 14-man Baa-Baas a 19-11 lead at half time.”
DID YOU KNOW? He first started for Sale Sharks in 2008 before joining Wasps in 2010
