5 Maro Itoje: Looks like England’s new enforcer, and is the first to confront the opposition in times of conflict. Not quite the same impact as Chris Robshaw defensively, but he was formidable in the air. 7.5/10
4 Joe Launchbury: Kept fairly quiet of any standout moments, but did well to lead the line and tackled with vigour. 7/10
3 Dan Cole: Potentially the best tighthead in Europe on his day. Bullied his opposite number and actually showed some good hands for Owen Farrell’s try. 8/10
2 Dylan Hartley (c): His normal reliable self in the lineout. Tackled and carried well, too before he departed on the hour for Jamie George. 7/10
1 Mako Vunipola: His ball carrying for a prop is on another level. Also passed and scrummaged consistently well, as always. 8/10
