#2. Will Stuart
Planet Rugby 4/10: “It was another struggle in the scrum for the tighthead, although he was more influential elsewhere. However, the set-piece is his bread and butter and it needs to be rectified.”
Telegraph 6/10: “Coughed up two set-piece penalties in the first quarter. Important work on the gain-line with deft footwork.”
Rugby Pass 5/10: “Penalised twice at the scrum in the opening 20 minutes, but responded well and helped gain parity as the first half progressed, which is all England would have wanted after last week.”
#4. Sam Underhill
Rugby Pass 5.5/10: “Huge shift trying to right the wrongs of last week by preventing New Zealand turnovers on the deck. It was a team effort, but spearheaded by the openside. Quiet elsewhere, but did the job Borthwick would have wanted from him before being replaced by Tom Curry after 50 minutes.”
Planer Rugby 5/10: “Not as influential as last week and there were a few too many missed tackles.”
