He improved against France but overall fell short of expectations.<\/p>\n<p>25 Elliot Daly<\/p>\n<p>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<p>26 Fin Smith<\/p>\n<p>A young player with huge potential, but a poor performance against Italy contributed to an embarrassing defeat.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>27 Freddie Steward<\/p>\n<p>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<p>28 Henry Arundell<\/p>\n<p>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<p>29 Luke Cowan-Dickie<\/p>\n<p>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<p>Like this:<\/p>\n<p>Like Loading&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sd-link-color\"\/>\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"23 Tom Roebuck A disappointing campaign.
