Where the England stars humiliated by Wales at World Cup 2015 are now with five never winning another cap

England’s embarrassing 2015 Rugby World Cup defeat to Wales was one of the lowest moments in the national team’s long history – and there have certainly been a few.

Gareth Davies’s late try from Lloyd Williams’ brilliant cross-field kick and 23 points from Dan Biggar’s unblemished boot sealed victory.

This is a devastating loss for England, for whom Owen Farrell kicked 20 points.

Jonny May scored a first-half try for the hosts, who turned down a tricky late shot at goal and paid the price.

First thing’s first, the manager did not last long. In fact, Stuart Lancaster left the role immediately following the World Cup.

Find out where all of the players are now.
