Jack van Poortvliet (Leicester Tigers)
Rating: 5/10
JVP’s rollercoaster continues. One minute, he’s laying on a sublime assist for Radwan, the next he’s throwing an interception straight from a scrum.
Leicester fans will remember the highs; Farrell will be stuck on the lows. An electric but erratic display. When the Lions call, they want certainty — not chaos.
Asher Opoku-Fordjour (Sale Sharks)
Rating: 3/10
Nicky Smith took him to school at scrum time — and this wasn’t a gentle lesson. Sale’s platform collapsed under the pressure, and the tighthead was at the heart of it.
Some nice footwork in open play, but that’s not why tightheads get paid. Big talent, but brutally exposed.
A long way from Lions standard on this showing.
