PREMIERSHIP FINAL UNDERPERFORMERS:

#1. Maro Itoje (Saracens)

Mail Online 3/10: “Unusually absent from the game’s biggest moments. Itoje was made to look virtually anonymous on a poor day at the office. Credit to Leicester’s forwards for that.”

RUCK 4/10: He uncharacteristically looked tired from the off and didn’t manage to get himself going at all. Possibly the poorest he’s ever played at Twickenham.

Telegraph 5/10: “Didn’t impose himself like he normally does at Twickenham.”

First time I think I’ve ever said it, but Maro Itoje has had a really quiet game by his standards…#LEIvSAR #PremiershipFinal
