“It’s over for him” – Five England players who flopped and who should replace them for the Six Nations

#4. Alex Coles

Telegraph 3/10: “Penalised for a neck grab and collapsing a maul. Big test for him and it showed.”

Mail Online 4/10: “Discipline poor as he leaked penalties, conceding three in the first half, before being taken off early in second half.”

I News 5/10: “It’s been a tough autumn for Coles at times, but he seemed to leak mistakes in the first half tonight and lasted just five minutes in the second before being sent to the bench”

Guardian 4/10: “Recalled to the side for his second start but was another whose discipline let him down, twice giving away penalties for his tackles.”

Replacement: Jack Willis

#5. Jonny May

Rugby Pass 4/10: “Needed a much-improved performance and he didn’t get it.”

Mail Online 5/10: “Failed to make an impression and couldn’t get into the game like he did late last week against New Zealand. Frustrating.”

I News 4/10: “Was caught out on the wing a number of times by South Africa. The attacking threat he once posed as a world-class winger looks nowhere to be seen.”

Guardian 4/10: “Did his best to involve himself from the off but the stop-start nature of the contest didn’t really suit him. Still a little off the pace.”

Replacement: Adam Radwan
