Ugo Monye 3/10
Club: Harlequins. Caps: 8
You are so much better than this. It all went wrong for you and on the day
you would have had difficulty catching swine flu
Mark Cueto 7/10
Club: Sale Sharks. Caps: 33
A better bet at full-back. A game to be proud of with the major exception of
the failure to run in a try that was begging to be scored
Dan Hipkiss 5/10
Club: Leicester. Caps: 11
Go and build some bricks for us Danny, sorry about the total lack of straw.
Who would be England’s outside centre?
Shane Geraghty 5/10
Club: Northampton. Caps: 5
Again, part of you sympathises with him. He looked disjointed and anxious and
Wilkinson is not the greatest man to play outside
Matt Banahan 5/10
Club: Bath. Caps: 4
One try made everything cool, but he does mix in some obvious running and
defensive howlers
Jonny Wilkinson 5/10
Club: Toulon. Caps: 72
Even the talisman is fallible. The strong wind could not excuse all of the
many lapses in his kicking at goal and kicking out of hand
Paul Hodgson 4/10
Club: London Irish. Caps: 5
Why pick him and then ask him to play a different game? He was brought in to
add electricity but nobody had paid the bill
Tim Payne 5/10
Club: Wasps. Caps: 14
Up against the monster Martin Scelzo, at least he managed to hit back in the
second half. Needs to show more all-round impact
Dylan Hartley 7/10
Club: Northampton. Caps: 13
A little impetuous, but in a poor England performance nobody should be
contemptuous of someone spilling their guts
Duncan Bell 6/10
Club: Bath. Caps: 4
Only a stop-gap until the injuries recede, but he was not embarrassed and
stayed on until the end
Louis Deacon 5/10
Club: Leicester. Caps: 12
If Simon Shaw does not return to break up this feeble-looking second-row
partnership, then we are all in the wrong sport
Steve Borthwick 5/10
Club: Saracens. Caps: 52
Helped in the Haskell burst, but it is telling that we should find it worthy
of praise. He cannot stay for the All Blacks. Can he?
Tom Croft 5/10
Club: Leicester. Caps: 15
Once again England have discovered drastically fewer ways to use his talents
than the Lions did last summer
James Haskell 7/10
Club: Stade Francais. Caps: 21
Needs more work in the arcane details of playing at No 8 but, with the ball
in hand, he was England’s best carrier
Replacements
To be perfectly fair, they are short of so many players that for any of their
replacements to have an impact would be asking a lot. At least Paul
Doran-Jones came on for his first cap out of clear blue sky
