Jamie Blamire (Newcastle Falcons)
Blamire’s struggles continued as Newcastle fell to Bristol, extending their winless run to 22 Premiership matches.
The lineout was shaky, and Blamire, once seen as a rising star, now looks short on confidence, far from the form that saw him score six tries in his first six England appearances.
Will Haydon-Wood (Exeter Chiefs)
Haydon-Wood’s high tackle and subsequent yellow card proved costly for Exeter, as Leicester capitalised to score the decisive try through Tommy Reffell.
Once considered a promising England prospect, Haydon-Wood now has plenty of work to do if he hopes to catch Steve Borthwick’s attention.
