“2/10” – Five players who flopped in the Premiership final

#2. Alex Mitchell (Northampton Saints)

Telegraph 5/10: “Lost the ball at an early ruck and nearly paid for it, and his box-kicking was good until one charge down. Overall though he was quiet – and then up he popped when it mattered most to finish Hendy’s break.”

Planet Rugby 4/10: “Scored the winning try, showing both his desire and stamina, so gets credit for that, but it was altogether a subpar performance. Some poor decision-making throughout as Ben Spencer got to him.”

#3. Joe Cokanasiga (Bath RFC)

Planet Rugby 5/10: “Precious few opportunities with ball in hand and like his fellow winger, he chased Bath’s high balls well.”

Telegraph 5/10: “It was the big wing’s breakdown work which was most notable, curiously. There was some brutal counter-rucking, particularly before Obano’s dismissal, but the opposing wings were the better unit.”
