3 England contenders who impressed, and 3 who underperformed this weekend

Devon Live: "He showed his pace and game awareness to finish off a fine Chiefs move for the opening try and also threw a stunning pass to Hogg in the first half in moments of pure class.

"The England star was quieter in the second half but then came up with s superb 50-22 which set up Jonny Hill’s try and gave the Chiefs the lead for the first time since the first half."

Tigers fly-half Ford has been praised by head coach Steve Borthwick after he helped orchestrate the team’s 48-3 win over Worcester Warriors.

“George did everything good today,” Borthwick said. “He pulled the strings and was very, very good.

“Whether he is in the England squad is not my call, but he looked very sharp.

“I want to help my players to be the best they can be and help their aspirations.”

Devon Live: "Simply outstanding. Dynamic as ever and carrying exceptionally making 83 metres in 16 carries. Got his inevitable try, darting of the base of the scrum to barge his way over and get his side back in touching distance.

"Then with his side in the lead the number eight produced an outstanding turnover which probably earned his side their victory when Wasps were pressing the Exeter line late on."

Devon Live: "He was penalised deep in his own half which eventually led to Wasps’ first try. Then with Exeter camped deep in the Wasps 22 at the start of the second half produced a poor error, knocking on from a tap penalty to relieve the pressure.

"Sadly, came off with what looked like an ankle injury on 51 minutes which will be a concern for the Chiefs side."

Bristol Live: "Where is the venom? The England and British and Irish Lions prop seems far to happy to pass the ball in midfield when he gets it rather than coming steaming onto it like a runaway train like he does at his best."

With Sale Sharks playmaker Raffi Quirke impressing on Friday night, Robson really needed to turn up against Exeter Chiefs.

Coventry Live: "It was a tough day to be Wasps' scrum-half given how little ball they had, especially in the second half. His kicking seemed to miss the mark a few too many times, either missing touch or turf when sending it into the backfield which gave Exeter chances to counter."
