These five England hopefuls did their chances no favours with poor performances during the fifth round of the Gallagher Premiership.
#1. Danny Cipriani (Bath)
Somerset Live: "A day to forget for the former England international on his home debut for Bath.
"His poor attempted pass to Jonathan Joseph put five-points on a plate for Max Malins, with insult added to injury by a charging Owen Farrell strong-arming him out of a tackle.
"He was replaced on 50 minutes by the in-form Orlando Bailey, at which point it has to be said Bath improved drastically."
#2. Charlie Ewels (Bath)
Somerset Live: "A hard day at the office for the Bath skipper.
"He was outthought and outfought in the lineout as Saracens dominated the set piece and could not muster his usual impact in the loose.
"Two conceded turnovers and limited involvement saw him hooked after 50 minutes of the contest."
#3. Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter Chiefs)
Devon Live: "He was penalised deep in his own half which eventually led to Wasps’ first try. Then with Exeter camped deep in the Wasps 22 at the start of the second half produced a poor error, knocking on from a tap penalty to relieve the pressure.
"Sadly, came off with what looked like an ankle injury on 51 minutes which will be a concern for the Chiefs side."
#4. Kyle Sinckler (Bristol Bears)
Bristol Live: "Where is the venom? The England and British and Irish Lions prop seems far to happy to pass the ball in midfield when he gets it rather than coming steaming onto it like a runaway train like he does at his best."
#5. Dan Robson (Wasps)
With Sale Sharks playmaker Raffi Quirke impressing on Friday night, Robson really needed to turn up against Exeter Chiefs.
Coventry Live: "It was a tough day to be Wasps' scrum-half given how little ball they had, especially in the second half. His kicking seemed to miss the mark a few too many times, either missing touch or turf when sending it into the backfield which gave Exeter chances to counter."
