One player to rise above the Twickenham mediocrity was Leicester scrum-half Harry Ellis, who delivered a man-of-the-match performance on his first England start in almost two years.

The 26-year-old was a late call-up following the injury to Danny Care, and he grabbed his chance with both hands

He was a constant sniping threat from the base and intelligent support play saw him claiming two tries either side of half-time.

VERDICT: Showed England what they have been missing and reminded the Lions management that he is still a class act
