Back rows
Chandler Cunningham-South
Monstrous in the first Test, monstered in the second. His statline shows that he was the only England player not to make any metres with ball in hand, as his upright carrying style was ruthlessly targeted by the All Blacks. 6/10
Tom Curry
Part of a really disappointing England replacement crew who failed to make an impact in the All Blacks series. 5/10
Ben Earl
Came into this series wanting to match up to Ardie Savea. By those high standards, Earl fell short. Made a staggering 46 carries in the two Tests but coughed up several turnovers. 6/10
Sam Underhill
Uncharacteristically missed a few tackles in the second Test. Huge value as a glue player but England failed to win a single turnover at Eden Park so there is a question mark if a fetcher might be required in the back-row mix. 6/10
Scrum-halves
Alex Mitchell
Really sharp service from the base, he constantly tested the New Zealand defence without fully breaking through. It was noticeable how much England’s attack dipped when he was replaced in the first Test and Ben Spencer remained on the bench in the second. 7/10
Harry Randall
His box kicks seemed to go backwards against Japan. Will come again. 5/10
Ben Spencer
Such a good season with Bath, but kicking was not on the money in the first Test – and he did not appear in the second. 5/10
Fly-halves
Fin Smith
Came off the bench in all three Tests and is clearly part of Steve Borthwick’s long-term thinking at fly-half, along with Marcus Smith and George Ford. 6/10
Marcus Smith
So nearly excellent. His cross-kicks to Tommy Freeman and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso were landed on a sixpence and constantly stressed the New Zealand defence with his running and passing threat. Still, was unable to guide England over the finishing line, missing some crucial kicks in the first Test, which means the battle for the No 10 shirt will continue into the autumn. 7/10
