#4. Dan Cole
Planet Rugby 5/10: “Cole likes to scrum at his own height, and he struggled with the shape the Japanese front -row gave him to work with, going backwards on a couple of occasions, but fought back well once he had his bromance partner Joe Marler on the pitch alongside him.”
#5. Ollie Lawrence
Telegraph 5/10: “After a gruelling season, playing a central role for the losing Premiership finalists, he looked a little out of sorts.”
Rugby Pass 6.5/10: “It was a full 23 minutes before we saw the midfielder but there were suddenly two huge ball-carrying contributions, a penalty-winning carry followed by the catch of the Jamie George lineout throw out the back around halfway that created the Smith try. Some missed tackles blotted his copy as did a no-release penalty just before the break.”
