"England stars underwhelm" - 5 Premiership players who flopped this weekend

Somerset Live - 5/10: "Nothing to rave about from Joseph’s performance. A bit like most of the Bath players he was very quiet all game and seemed to find it hard to deal with the defensive pressure of Sale. Made 24 metres from four carries."

Coventry Live - 5/10: "It’s not quite happening for the young forward in the early games of this season. Was stripped by Harry Randall for a fumble from which Bristol ultimately scored."

Leicestershire Live - 5/10: "He was outshone by his returning centre partner in attack and defence, struggling to get involved at times as the kicks passed him by. Scott was penalised for tackle off of the ball giving Falcons easy territory."

Northampton Chronicle - 5.5/10: "Irish certainly gave as good as they got at the scrum and this man couldn't quite have the impact he would have wanted."

RUCK - 5/10: "The England hooker has been trying his very best to fill in at flanker during their ongoing back-row injury crisis. Having started on the open side in their two opening games, it's safe to say Blamire isn't best suited to that position with a return to the front-row needed sooner rather than later."
