In the 2023 Rugby World Cup, England’s player ratings reveal a standout performance by Ben Earl under Steve Borthwick’s coaching, but many others failed to meet expectations.
England faced a heartbreaking exit from the Rugby World Cup after a narrow one-point loss to defending champions South Africa on Saturday.
The match started with great promise for Steve Borthwick’s team, but their hopes were dashed when substitute Handre Pollard nailed a crucial penalty from the halfway line in the 78th minute.
With this result, South Africa secured their place in a second consecutive World Cup final, where they would face New Zealand in a bid to achieve back-to-back tournament victories.
The Mail Online has assessed and ranked the entire England squad, highlighting the disappointment of several key players who couldn’t deliver their best performances on the World Cup stage.

Mail Online 5/10: “Slipped out of favour as Daly and May locked down the wing jerseys. Move to Bristol to play full-back will be fascinating.”
