England's most disappointing team of the decade (2010-2020)

But, before Eddie Jones became head coach in 2015, they had gone through a rough spell.

The White were a shadow of the team they are now for much of the 2010s.

As the decade comes to an end we've decided to put together England's most dissapointing team over the past 10 years.

NOTE: These players are very good players, but for one reason or another it didn't quite work out for them at Test level

FB: Alex Goode - He's been one of the standout players in the Gallagher Premiership throughout the last decade. However, it has never really worked out at international level with Eddie Jones not even considering him despite the numerous trophies he's won with Sarries and the fact he was crowned European player of the year in 2019.

LW: Christian Wade - Made one appearance for England against Argentina back in 2013, playing the full 80 minutes but never looked like scoring. Should have had more opportunities before making the switch to American football, so has to go down as wasted talent.

OC: Billy Twelvetrees - Tipped to be England's next big thing back in 2010, the versatile back made his England debut in 2013 and did go onto make 22 appearances in the next two years before missing out on Stuart Lancaster's World Cup squad in 2015. Had all the attributes to be a world-class player - but it just never really worked out like everyone expected.

IC: Sam Burgess - Car-crash. He was fast-tracked into the 2015 World Cup squad in defiance of logic. Bath and the player himself each shoulder varying degrees of blame for arguably the greatest cross-code flop in history. We’re not saying he was an awful player, but the whole thing was a complete disaster.

RW: Semesa Rokoduguni - Never let England down when he pulled on the jersey, but for him to win just four caps is really disappointing considering his ability. Deserved far more.

FH: Danny Cipriani - World-class. Don't think any England fan will argue that the mercurial fly-half winning just 16 caps in the last decade is majorly disappointing.

SH: Joe Simpson - Another one-cap wonder. He's proved again and again to be one of the best playmakers in the Premiership yet hasn't had a sniff of a call-up.

LP: Alex Corbisiero - First and foremost, he is one of the best props of the last decade, starring for the British & Irish Lions in 2013. However, Corbs makes this selection chiefly due to his early retirement that meant he only won 31 England caps. Could have and maybe should have been so many more!

HK: Joe Gray - He made his one and only England appearance during their tour of New Zealand in 2013, coming off the bench in the 20-15 loss to the All Blacks. A consistent performer in the Gallagher Premiership, he probably deserved more opportunities.

TP: Paul Doran-Jones: Despite the good early promise in his career, he spent most of his time in England colours being turned upside down in the set-piece and being battered backwards in contact. Won the last of his 6 caps in 2013.

LK: Mouritz Botha - He packed a punch in the tackle but never really looked comfortable at Test level. Won 10 caps between 2011 and 2012.

LK: Louis Deacon - Now Deacon was as tough as nails, but was about as mobile and athletic as the very comfy sofa in the RUCK office and offered next to no threat to opponents. Unfortunately, he falls into that category of England players whose best quality was ‘being brave’, which fills you with admiration…but not a whole lot of confidence. Won the last of his 29 caps in 2011.

FL: Callum Clark - Not the most popular player due to his discipline issues but with his ability should have won more than one cap.

FL: Hendre Fourie - The powerhouse was a relatively late developer at an elite level, only realising his potential under the tutelage of his mentor Andre Bester at the Rotherham Titans. He went onto make a signifcant impact in the Premiership with Leeds and Sale, but never really brought the same boom to international rugby during his eight caps between 2010 and 2011. Never let the team down, just didn't hit the heights fans wanted.

N8: Jack Clifford - Back in 2015, we tipped the versatile Harlequins back-rower to captain England at the 2019 Rugby World Cup. However, despite being a part of Eddie Jones plans back in 2016, a succession of injuries have prevented him from reaching the level we thought he'd hit. Therefore, seven caps has to be seen as disappointing. He's still only 26, but right now he seems miles away from forcing himself back into the England fold.
