"Not good enough" - 5 players who shouldn't play for England again after dismal Six Nations

For Eddie Jones' men, defeat is a sobering reality check. There are still 18 months until the start of the Rugby World Cup, but to close the gap on France in that timeframe requires swift, steep improvement.

There was little sign of it at the Stade de France. A campaign that started with England being stifled by Scotland, ended with them overwhelmed in Paris, and there have been precious few positives in between.

Telegraph (4/10): "Shocker of a box kick was charged down by Alldritt which then pinned England back in their half. Ruck ball was slow. Good stutter though to make France pause ahead of Steward’s try but napping for Dupont's."

Mail Online (5/10): "A horses for courses starter brought in for his box-kicking which went well but service from breakdowns still slow if pace ups."

Telegraph (5/10): "Praised for his all-round skill-set in the build-up, but gave away a lineout fielding Danty’s kick. Oddly had two volleyed kicks but limited impact on the game."

Mail Online (5/10): "Had a nightmare debut here in 2020 and was a bag of nerves again and had one catastrophic incident when he took ball out."

JOE (5/10): "Game passed him by without him making much of an impact."

Telegraph (5/10): "Bizarrely was on the wing for a cross-field kick from Smith when England were playing at an advantage. Felt the heat at the scrum with the rest of the front row."

Telegraph (5/10): " Rare start but he carried well, although the scrum was an issue against a quality operator in Baille. Off after 50 minutes and replaced by Kyle Sinckler."
