Five players Steve Borthwick should DROP – and who should play against Ireland

#3. Henry Slade

Telegraph 4/10: “Got caught out of position for France’s opener. Never really alleviated any of the kick pressure off Smith. Made way for Farrell earlier than he would have liked.”

Rugby Pass 3.5/10: “No one could quibble that he didn’t deserve his place, but he was blown away here and hooked on 46 for Farrell. His display was summed up by how he was roadkill as Flament blasted over for his first try.”

Planet Rugby 2/10: “Slade was sloppy with ball in hand and didn’t make use of his boot, either.”

Replacement: Joe Marchant
