Elliot Daly is the target of furious England fans after performance against Ireland
Rugby NewsSaturday, 20 March 2021 at 05:39
England fullback Elliot Daly was the main target of criticism after a woeful opening 40 against Ireland in Dublin.
Eddie Jones’ patience with the versatile Lions three-quarter appeared to have run out when his 50th cap against Wales on February 27 saw intent but also produced a couple of glaring errors, but a high-octane cameo against France has restored his coach’s faith.
However, if the social media reaction is anything to go by, he hasn't enjoyed the best first half. A kick straight out of play and being totally out jumped in the lead up to Jack Conan's try summer up a tough afternoon.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
