BEST:Ellis Genge (Mail Online 9/10): “Dominant as well as clever at the set-piece and got on top of the mighty Tadhg Furlong in the first half. Supreme around the park too. Gave everything before Joe Marler came on.”
WORST:Charlie Ewels (Telegraph 2/10) – “Regardless of public opinion and how his sending off affected the spectacle, modern players know that they must tackle lower. Unforgivably clumsy.”
BEST:Jamison Gibson-Park (Irish Times 9/10): “He won the man of the match award, a fair reflection on a high calibre contribution. When the team was producing its best rugby he was at the epicentre, sharp in thought and deed, reflected in the quick tap for Keenan’s try.”
WORST:Cian Healy (Irish Times 5/10): “Referee Mathieu Raynal and his assistants took a view on who was doing what to whom in the scrum with the two Irish props conceding a fistful of penalties (six). “
