13 Seb Atkinson<\/p>\n
Made his first Six Nations start against Italy, avoiding much of England\u2019s wider struggles. Not a perfect debut but showed glimpses of potential as a future long-term inside centre, and built on that against France.<\/p>\n
14 Tommy Freeman<\/p>\n
Still adjusting to outside centre, Freeman has struggled to fully find his role. He was part of an underperforming backline but showed promise against France, scoring what was nearly a late winner.<\/p>\n
15 Alex Mitchell<\/p>\n
Showed promise before an injury curtailed his overall influence on the tournament.<\/p>\n
16 Sam Underhill<\/p>\n
A mixed campaign. At times impressive, but inconsistency and teammates\u2019 struggles affected his impact.<\/p>\n
17 Fraser Dingwall<\/p>\n
Dependable but sometimes slowed England\u2019s attack at inside centre.<\/p>\n
Provides distribution as an additional playmaker but rarely threatens the gainline consistently. This is more a reflection of tactics than individual shortcomings.<\/p>\n
18 Tom Curry<\/p>\n
Injured against Italy and otherwise fairly average across the tournament.<\/p>\n
19 Ben Spencer<\/p>\n
A very average campaign. Dependable in some areas but limited in overall impact. His continued significant minutes remain questionable.<\/p>\n
20 Ollie Lawrence<\/p>\n
Appeared only against Ireland. Played tidily but with limited opportunity to make a bigger impression.<\/p>\n
21 Trevor Davison<\/p>\n
Effective as a replacement but naturally had little influence at Test level given his position.<\/p>\n
22 George Ford<\/p>\n
Ford showed off-field leadership and thoughtful insights about England\u2019s issues.<\/p>\n
On-field performances, however, did not match his influence. Missed opportunities, such as a drop goal against Scotland, proved costly.<\/p>\n
23 Tom Roebuck<\/p>\n
A disappointing campaign. Offered little attacking threat on the wing and often appeared ineffective.<\/p>\n
24 Maro Itoje<\/p>\n
A tough tournament for Itoje given personal circumstances.<\/p>\n
As captain, he struggled to influence games consistently, including an outburst toward Fin Smith. He improved against France but overall fell short of expectations.<\/p>\n
25 Elliot Daly<\/p>\n
Appeared off the pace against Italy and no longer seems to operate at full Test-match level. Showed improvement against France, but doesn\u2019t seem a viable option going forward.<\/p>\n
26 Fin Smith<\/p>\n
A young player with huge potential, but a poor performance against Italy contributed to an embarrassing defeat.<\/p>\n
Kicking was predictable and lacked variation, whether due to tactics or decision-making. Actually mixed it up and played well against France, even if his lack of conversions ended up being the difference.<\/p>\n
27 Freddie Steward<\/p>\n
Had one of the tournament\u2019s lowest points against Ireland, receiving a red card and leaving the field after 30 minutes. Highlights areas for improvement despite not being a scapegoat.<\/p>\n
28 Henry Arundell<\/p>\n
Scored tries but his ill-discipline against Scotland was costly and contributed to England\u2019s decline. Ineffective against Ireland and overly reliant on pace, though still young and capable of bouncing back.<\/p>\n
29 Luke Cowan-Dickie<\/p>\n
England\u2019s lowest-ranked player in the Six Nations. Struggled especially against Ireland. Lineout throwing was unreliable and he made little impact elsewhere, making it difficult to overlook these issues.<\/p>\n
