“World Cup hopes over” – Three England players who flopped in series decider

#3. Jonny Hill

• Age: 28
• Position: Second-row

We didn’t agree with The Telegraph’s assessment and Inews clearly didn’t either. Hill was titanic. Rugby pass also gave the second-rower an 8/10.

Telegraph 5/10 (later changed to 6): “‘Mr Popular’ in Australia. Officials were hot on any cynical play, with Hill penalised for holding onto Nic White early after a tackle. Good lineout disruption though led to Smith’s try.”

Inews 9/10: “Titanic display from England lock. Won high pressure lineout in Australia’s 22 and played key role in disrupting throw that led to Smith try. Was also a pest at the breakdown and put in some huge tackles late on.”
