DANNY CARE AND WILL CARLING THE LATEST TO CRITICISE STUART BARNES
15 Mike Brown Given a few chances to run with the ball in hand, and looked to come into the line when on the attack. 6.5/10
14 Marland Yarde Looked lively out on his wing and made some telling breaks. Took his try Brilliantly. 8/10
13 Henry Slade A few flashes of brilliance, especially his superb dummy and perfectly weighted knock through for May’s try. 7/10
12 Alex Lozowski He ran beautifully to open up space for Yarde’s try. A really nice player to watch. 7/10
11 Jonny May Ran well when he got the ball and came in-field looking for work, but he didn’t chase kicks hard enough. Showed good awareness to dot down Slades knock through 7/10
10 George Ford Looked like Englands’ general as he controlled play around the park and answered his critics by landing most of his kicks in a hostile atmosphere as well as scoring a try. 9/10
