“Times up” – Five England players who flopped and who should replace them for the Six Nations

Mail Online 5/10: "A difficult campaign with injuries. Lost his starting jersey and will have a tough review."

Telegraph: "Has to learn from that schooling by South Africa’s scrum and return a better player for it. There is still a Test career left ahead of him but will he still be in the mix in four years? Hard to say."

Replacement: Joe Heyes (Leicester Tigers)

Mail Online 5/10: "Moving to Toulon so his Test days are numbered. Not as dynamic as his contemporaries."

Telegraph: "Only faced Chile and now off to join Toulon, putting his Test career on pause. Young enough to technically come back into the mix at some point, but an uphill battle now."

Replacement: Nick Isiekwe (Saracens)

Mail Online 5/10: "Always playing catch-up after suspension. Test rugby has moved on to more dynamic No 8s."

Telegraph: "All the signs point to Vunipola leaving Saracens when his contract expires next summer to head abroad, therefore either putting his Test career on hold or potentially ending it forever. A couple of error-prone cameos in the semi-final were not the high note he deserved to go out on. Technically young enough to be involved in 2027."

Replacement: Zach Mercer (Gloucester)

Mail Online 5/10: " glittering international career reached a quiet finale as England’s most capped player played a bit-part role."

Telegraph: "England’s most-capped men’s player deserves a fitting send-off in the third-place play-off this week. Never picked as the starter in France (yet) but an outstanding player for his country."

Replacement: Raffi Quirke (Sale Sharks)

Mail Online 5/10: "Slipped out of favour as Daly and May locked down the wing jerseys. Move to Bristol to play full-back will be fascinating."

Telegraph: "Hardly used by England but does have age on his side. Will need to impress back at Bristol, where he is expected to play at full-back, to be back in the mix for a starting role."

Replacement: Adam Radwan (Newcastle Falcons)
