#1. Danny Care – 4/10
Telegraph: “Eesh. After four years in the wilderness, Care returns only to join Luther Burrell and Teimana Harrison in the first-half substitution club. Difficult to see how he returns from this.”
Following a fantastic couple of seasons with Quins, the 35-year-old recieved a shock recall for the tour down under following four years in the wilderness. Unfortunately for Care, after a half littered with error in he third test, he was hauled off just before halftime.
As Matt Dawson said courtesy of the BBC: βThatβs a reflection on Eddie Jones being pretty unhappy about the way England are playing, but Care has struggled with game management at the highest level. And the scrum-half tends to get criticized for the way a team plays.β
With first choice Ben Youngs coming back into contention in the Autumn, Care has very likely played his last test.
Potential replacements: Raffi Quirke (Sale Sharks), Alex Mitchell (Northampton Saints), Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers)
