Yeah think him and Wood need to start making way for Ewers and Itoje

It's difficult to judge them fairly to be honest. Hibbard and Ball were both dropped at the same time because the lineout was struggling. But it's fairly difficult to tell whether it was a change of hooker or a change of lock that improved the lineout. Probably a bit of both, but I do think it's worth seeing whether Hibbard/Charteris would work. I still think Hibbard offers more around the park.

Speaking of which, Charteris for most improved for me.

Yeah, not much between Hibbard & Baldwin atm. Owens should be no. 1, so it's who would offer the most impact, arguably hibbard with his thumping tackling, and general disregard for his body. Nice to have Baldwin as backup though.

Re Charteris. I personally expected those performances from him , maybe not quite the monumental display against Ireland, but he's shown quality like this before his injuries in the 2011 WC. Baldwin's performances came as a surprise to me, especially his lineout throwing, which has been inconsistent/poor his entire career.

 

[profitius]

Best. POC
Worst. Rob Kearney - very solid but not threatening with the ball.
Exceeded expectation. Henshaw
Disappointing. A few had their moments
Another countries player. Brown, Hogg or Halfpenny would do.

 

[msf]

Best: Vunipola, played well in every game
Worst: Hartley or Attwood, decent in the set piece, but zero impact round the field.
Most improved: Joseph, but then we haven't seen him in an England shirt for about 2 years.
Most disappointing: Burrell, I really thought he would make more of an impact.
Player from another team: George North, England haven't had a world class left wing since Cohen.

 

[thechosenfamily]

Best player: JJ, given the chance and by jingo he took it
Mentioned in dispatches Cole, Brown
Worst player: May Just did not perform IMHO
Most improved/Exceeded expectations: JJ Simplest question of them all really
Most disappointing: Burrell Keep hoping he will break out but is just not improving
1 player from another team you want most: Sexton

 

[ncurd]

Best: JJ just looks like doing something magic every time he gets the ball not had that excitement from an England back since Robinson's days. Be interesting to see how he does come world cup.
Worst: May deservedly dropped after a couple of poor games both in attack and defense. Nowell clearly better.
Most improved/exceed expectations: JJ I've seen him light it up from Bath especially that break against Toulose but didn't expect quite the impact he's had with England.
Most disappointing: Hartley usually rock solid in line-out but an extremely varied performance there throughout the tournament. He's lost the real edge he had on Youngs and probably needs to be benched.
1 player from any other team: Not entirely sure here can't think of a standout 12 all tournament, Sexton was iffy in some games (and I believe in time Ford will surpass him). Webb? Maybe but Youngs was hardly terrible. I'd probably go for Warburton and stick Robshaw at 6 which would probably be greatest improvement to England.

 

[MrTea_32]

Best player - jj/ youngs, both players had a really good tournament.
Worst - burrell, just don't think he cuts it at international level and he wouldn't be in my 23.
Most improved/ exceed expectations - youngs/ jj/vunipola.
Youngs has improved alot and is back on top form. JJ took his club form and was able to do it at international level and Billy just found his form again.
Most disappointed - Attwood, couldn't keep his club form at international level.
1 player from other team - England need a good 12, hopefully tuilagi can be it. But I'd choose Fofana, he not in great form but he is playing in a out of form uncharacteristic French side, I think he thrive in England's current attacking style and would make us even more dangerous.

 

[corny]

- Best player: Sean O' Brien. Just wait till he gets more games under his belt.
- Worst player: Devin Toner. Expected more from him this year
- Most improved/Exceeded expectations: Has to be Mike Ross. Lost his place at Leinster. Hadn't played much rugby prior to the tournament but was epic in holding our scrum up. The man's a legend.
- Most disappointing: Going to be controversial and say POM. Bit of a drop off from the tournament he had last year.
- 1 player from another team you want most: Tough one. Maybe Stuart Hogg or Manu Tuilagi.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Best Player- JJ Pretty easy one for any England fan. He has changed our attacking pattern as he is such a different threat from any of our other centres. Cole would be my best forward as no one had the upper hand on him and was great over the ball.
Worst Player- Hartley was a massive problem for us, if he can't compete at lineout time then he has literally no value.
Most Improved- Youngs was much better this tournament, he added a speed to the attack after a couple of so so performances, now with Ford he has someone always on his shoulder when he breaks. Vunipola was the most improved forward as well.
Most disappointing- May. He looked great in the AI then average this tournament.
1 Player from another team- Dunbar

 

[Bluemoon]

Best player - I'm going to go with Warbs as he has been at his best in this tournament. Closely followed by AWJ.
Worst player- Cuthbert, although as a Cardiff fan I am not in the least bit surprised.
Most improved/Exceeded expectations - Charteris. I've not always rated him, but he stepped up really well when he needed to this tournament.
Most disappointing - The front row. Disappointing that they couldn't provide a decent platform throughout the tournament.
One player from another team - I'd love to see a fit SoB with Warbs and Faletau.

Pretty damned spot on. I'd probably go for Dan Cole as my other teams players due to our injuries and the retirement of Adam Jones, but that back row would absolutely tear teams apart and he'd be perfect for us at 6. Although i still think Warbs, Tipuric and Faletau could equal it and more if given the time and opportunity.
