Being a player in international rugby is far from easy and this weekend these five players were far below their usually high standards.
1. Scott Barrett
Was poor before he got sent off for a brainless tackle. Debatable if it was a red card, but still - in the modern era - you are asking for trouble.
2. Elliot Daly (England)
Suspect in defence as he was stepped too easily by Gareth Davies for the opening Wales try and barged off in an attempted tackle on George North. Fantastic player, but average fullback. Did score a great drop-goal.
3. Hadleigh Parkes (Wales)
Unusually off the boil. Dropped the ball twice under pressure, and found himself caught out defensively on more than one occasion as Cokanasiga and Curry beat his shoulder.
4. Jack McGrath (Ireland)
Conceded a number of scrum penalties against Italy and was hauled off at the break, struggling overall. Could now miss out on the Rugby World Cup squad.
5. Ken Owens (Wales)
Lineout jitters returned at the worst possible time as his five-metre throw found English hands and gifted Cowan-Dickie the third try.
