BEN CURRY CELEBRATION:
Five players Steve Borthwick should DROP – and who should play against Ireland
#1. Jack van Poortvliet
Evening Standard 4/10: “Failed to take control at the base of the ruck in a messy performance.”
Telegraph 3/10: “His job was to quicken the tempo but instead presided over a slow ruck and shanked a horrible box kick. Was hauled off for Mitchell minutes into the second half.”
Rugby Pass 4/10: “Very much a case of master and the apprentice, the rookie England scrum-half getting schooled by his oppsite number Dupont. Gone on 46 and not before time.”
Planet Rugby 3/10: “He was taken off just six minutes after half-time, and Borthwick would not have been blamed for doing it before then. The French pack put him under immense pressure, but he also made a few daft decisions on attack and made silly errors.”
Mail Online 3/10: “Too ponderous from base and replaced early in second half.”
Replacement: Alex Mitchell
