#4. Maro Itoje
RUCK 8.5/10: “His best match for a very long time. Itoje looks like he is hitting top gear, as he did in time for the 2019 Rugby World Cup Final. Good vocal opening set-pieces, with a leadership role in the line-outs. Took centre stage with a thrilling carry from an intercept, and fended a tackler away. Excellent chop tackles, but was levelled by a double hit as the match became a physical showdown of dominance. Brilliant turnovers and leading by example, Itoje was back to his elite best.”
Planet Rugby 8/10: ” Getting back towards his best with a series of vital interventions. Disrupted Fiji in both set-piece and the loose”
