England 22-19 France player ratings: Billy Vunipola and Maro Itoje to the fore in final

England player ratings from the Autumn Nations Cup final, where France ppushed the hosts all the way before losing 22-19.

15 Elliot Daly: Saw more of him in attack than in previous games during the autumn, but at times unsteady in defence. 7/10

14 Anthony Watson: Presented with a sniff of the try-line but was well marshalled by the French defence, summing up his afternoon. 6/10

13 Henry Slade: Carried hard and showed one or two flourishes in attack. His best game of the autumn. 7/10

12 Owen Farrell: Kicked the decisive penalty but otherwise it was a disappointing game for the captain who was below his usual standards with the boot. 6/10

11 Jonny May: Like Watson, his threat was nullified by the French defence and was unable to show some of the scintillating play he has done throughout the autumn. 6/10

10 George Ford: England barely fired a shot in attack with Ford unable to inspire his team. 6/10

9 Ben Youngs: Not a day that will be remembered for English half-back play. Made no impression. 6/10

1 Ellis Genge: Spilt the ball forward, ending a sustained home barrage at the end of the first half. Otherwise muscular on the charge. 7/10

2 Jamie George: Another to produce a performance which was not up to the high standards he has set. Floundered at Matthieu Jalibert for France's try. 6/10

3 Kyle Sinckler: A quiet afternoon but rolled up his sleeves when he needed to. England's scrum dominated. 7/10

4 Maro Itoje: Won the crucial penalty that allowed Farrell to kick the winning goal. Never stopped. 8/10

5 Joe Launchbury: Has re-established himself in the second row but could not impose himself in this game. 6/10

6 Tom Curry: For once the Sale Sharks flanker was over-shadowed by his opposite number, although was named player of the tournament for his previous impressive displays this autumn. 6/10

7 Sam Underhill: He fell foul of the referee several times and was taken off early in the second half. Again, disappointing by his high standards. 6/10

8 Billy Vunipola: A rallying point for England who never stopped charging into the heart of France's defence. Was named man of the match. 8/10
