#2. Jonny Hill
Planet Rugby 4/10: “So many poor things from the lock, who was another to give away needless penalties.”
Telegraph 3/10: “A colossally dumb shove on De Klerk reversed a penalty in a total lack of discipline, which piled pressure on England.”
Mail Online 4/10: “Not as prominent as he has been recently. Stupid penalty given away in second half and struggled in match-up with Bok locks.”
I News 4/10: “An instrumental part of the flood of silly penalties that England conceded throughout the game. Let his aggression get the better of him too and put his own side under pressure.”
Guardian 3/10: “Discipline simply not good enough and gave away stupid penalty when needlessly man-handling De Klerk. Place may come under threat after a poor November.”
Replacement: Courtney Lawes
#3. Billy Vunipola
Planet Rugby 3/10: “Just dire. Looked so cumbersome in comparison to the dynamic and powerful Springbok pack.”
Mail Online 4/10: “Another mixed bag from Big Billy – straight into it from the off but faded before being replaced on 56 minutes.”
I News 4/10: “Like Tuilagi, the power he once wielded looked faded. His carrying lacked any real threat and was all too easily swallowed up by the Boks.”
Guardian 4/10: ” Disappointing knock-on in the second half, a little bit hesitant with ball in hand. Not a great autumn campaign all things considered.”
Replacement: Alex Dombrandt
