ENGLAND:
BEST PLAYER: OLLIE LAWRENCE
Rugby Pass 9/10: “So that’s what an inside centre looks like. His first carry showed what England misses out on when a fly-half dons the 12 jersey.”
WORST PLAYER: OLLIE HASSELL-COLLINS
Rugby Pass 6/10: “Completely absent from the game. Perhaps a sign of England’s inability to string together a backline move that unleashes the flyers on the wing.”
ITALY:
BEST PLAYER: SEBASTIEN NEGRI
Planet Rugby 9/10: “ Finished with 83 metres gained from 14 carries and also caught the eye with excellent defence as he finished with eight tackles made.”
WORST PLAYER: STEPHEN VARNEY
Planet Rugby 5/10: “Another indifferent performance from the Gloucester scrum-half, who struggled during the opening half behind a retreating pack.”
