“England stars underwhelm” – 5 Premiership players who flopped this weekend

#5. Jamie Blamire (Newcastle Falcons)

RUCK – 5/10: “The England hooker has been trying his very best to fill in at flanker during their ongoing back-row injury crisis. Having started on the open side in their two opening games, it’s safe to say Blamire isn’t best suited to that position with a return to the front-row needed sooner rather than later.”
