HOW THEY RATED ENGLAND

STEWARD

Sound under the high ball but turned inside out by Veainu.

RADWAN

Hat-trick on his full debut last time out, another try after just 160 seconds.

SLADE

Not a Test kicker but no questioning his pedigree as a playmaker. Silky.

M TUILAGI

England a different beast with Manu in team. Made 60 metres on six runs.

MAY

Took try tally to 35 with a double to close gap on leader Rory Underwood.

FURBANK

Answered SOS at fly-half and let nobody down.

YOUNGS

Said he still had the hunger and proved it with two tries in sparkling display.

GENGE

Tidy in set-piece and rampant in loose with great charge and offloads.

GEORGE

Two tries showed what George thought of being dropped from squad.

SINCKLER

Nothing flash, but rock solid allowing Tonga no change out of set-pieces.

ITOJE

Scored his fourth England try but left showreel moments to others.

HILL

Ensured Tonga got no change out of lineout. Tough as teak.

LAWES

Capped his big day as skipper with great cover tackle to deny a try.

UNDERHILL

Escaped Bath’s losing run only to suffer first-half shoulder injury.

CURRY

First name on Jones’ team sheet and led England’s tackle count.
