LIST | 4 Lions contenders who massively underperformed this weekend

One of England’s finest centres on the international stage over the past decade was made to look inferior by Bristol’s magician Semi Radradra. He was caught flat footed by his opposite number as he glided around Hamer-Webb and made the game look easy. His forms seems to get worse almost every week.

The Welsh international prop had a tough day at the office for Exeter Chiefs against Worcester and was under huge pressure at scrum-time from Ethan Waller opposite him. As well as struggling in the scrum, Francis failed to make an impact with the ball-in hand making just three metres.

 It was his worst day in a Wasps shirt against Harlequins, no question. Quins’ rush defence tormented him all afternoon. His biggest strength is his play flat to the line but on this occasion it stunted Wasps’ attack as he turned over the ball seven times.

It was a telling sign that Bath’s talismanic nine against Bristol was unable to make any impact upon the game and his reliable box kicking was not on the mark. A stat that summed up how much the hosts dominated the ball was that Spencer only made 15 passes in his 53 minutes on the field. He looked lively in the opening minutes, but the game was soon gone in a flash. Despite currently being odds on to make the squad, his current form is shocking.
