These five hopefuls for next years British & Irish Lions tour of South Africa did their chances no favours with poor performances during the third round of the Autumn Nations Cup.
We could have just picked five Wales players, but we’ve made it a maximum of two players per team…
1. James Ryan (Ireland)
An uncharacteristically poor performance from the Ireland captain who was outshone by his engine room teammate Henderson. Second week in a row he's failed to impress following a poor display against England.
2. Ryan Elias (Wales)
You can’t get away from the fact the Welsh line-out has struggled whenever he has thrown in. One went over the top and there was also a not straight. Replaced early in second half. Also had little carrying impact.
Didn’t get a chance to stretch his legs and as a result made a limited impact in the game. The speedster has now gone six games without a try for Wales having scored six in his previous six before that. Outshone by Louis Rees Zammit, who made a few nice breaks and 14 tackles.
4.Owen Farrell (England)
Strange to see him miss three times from the tee, including his first two. A lot of aimless kicking and five missed tackles made this an underwhelming performance from the England captain.
5. Samson Lee (Wales)
Struggled badly at scrum time and was replaced just a few minutes into the second half after conceding yet another penalty, which was his fourth of the match. No impact in the loose, either.
