Replacement: Manu Tuilagi With Henry Slade returning to 13

#4. Will Stuart

Evening Standard: "A fairly solid performance from the prop. Started a bit shaky but improved as the half went on. Taken off at the break for Sinckler."
Telegraph: "Penalised early and faced a good test at the scrum from Danilo Fischetti, with Stuart pinged for not driving straight before the break."
Replacement: Kyle Sinckler
