England player ratings vs Ireland
15 Elliot Daly: After all the talk, he was competent under the high ball but it was his kicking game that particularly impressed, setting up his own try. World-class player. 8.5/10
14 Jonny May: England’s most potent attacker. Took the opening try superbly and continued to threat throughout with his electric pace. His perfect kick then set up Slade for the game-winning try. 8.5
13 Henry Slade: Impressive on his first Six Nations start, scoring the crucial winning try for England in the second half before adding another to secure the bonus-point. 9
