ENGLAND:
BEST PERFORMER: KYLE SINCKLER – Smart support running for the third try. Great hands to knock back Jack Nowell’s tap-back to support from the high ball on the touchline. Hard to believe he’s a prop sometimes, his skillset is excellent.
WORST PERFORMER: Owen Farrell – Some nice passing and kicking, which started to grate later as he insisted on repeated up and unders, but he started to lose his head as the match went on. His standard useful aggression turned to a bit of venom and he was remarkably only penalised for a late shoulder charge on D’Arcy Graham. He was substituted shortly after for Ford. Kicked too much.
Owen Farrell is a great player but, unfortunately the captaincy role is obviously affecting his performance and decision making. Dylan Hartley isn't the answer either. Not sure where we go from here ?
