Owen Farrell late tackle on Finn Russell was 'lucky' to go unpunished

RUCK’s 2023 Six Nations content powered by ISUZU.

The centre, who didn't have his best game, was constantly trying to man mark the Scottish playmaker throughout the game

However, that meant there was only more room for Duhan van der Merwe's to score a famous double which handed Scotland back-to-back wins at Twickenham for the first time

One fan wrote: "Huge hit by Farrell. Probably a bit high mind."

Another commented: "Farrell plays right on the edge. That looked naughty."

A third said: "Under the new RFU rules that would be a straight red."

Here are the five alterations we'd make based on players performances.

RUCK 4/10: Aside from being poor from the tee, his defensive positioning at centre cost his side more than once.

Planet Rugby 6/10: "Kicked poorly off the tee."

Telegraph 5/10: "Not his finest performance in an England shirt. Clattered into Russell slightly late in the first half which was met with approval from the Twickenham crowd - tackle school has been treating him well. Patchy from the tee."

Replacement: Manu Tuilagi

Telegraph 5/10: "Looked hungry and bright on debut and helped put pressure on Scotland in the opening exchanges"

Rugby Pass 5.5/10: "The debut maker had a start to forget."

RUCK 5/10:" Forgot he was playing."

Mail Online 5/10: "First touch was poor and second one was a boot, went looking for work."

Replacement :Cadan Murley

RUCK 5/10: Looks out of his depth at time. Made a number of handling errors. Blew his chance."

Rugby Pass 6.5/10: "Endured a horrible period, missing the last-man tackle on the scoring van der Merwe and then fumbling the ball twice."

Replacement: Sam Simmonds

Planet Rugby 5/10: "Once again not his usual presence on the field. Scotland marshalled him pretty comfortably. Under threat of getting dropped? 5

Telegraph 5/10: "Had a quiet first half by his standards. Produced a number of crunching carries and was a key player in helping patiently build the phases that led to England’s opener. Showed flashes of the disruptive force he is capable of being at the lineout."

Mail Online 6/10: " Better than the autumn but still not back to the old Maro"

Replacement: Courtney Lawes

RUCK 5/10: Not the dream Six Nations debut he would have hoped for. Costly error in the second half.

Telegraph 4/10: "On his first Test cap since November 2021, he looked abrasive in the tackle but was chopped down on a number of occasions just as he started to get going.Showed only fleeting glimpses of why he’s been one of the Premiership’s most consistent performers this season."

Evening Standard 6/10: "Missed tackle for Ben White try proved costly in an otherwise very solid effort."

Replacement: Ben Earl
