LIST | 5 Lions contenders who did their chances no favours this weekend

We could have just picked five Ireland players, but we’ve made it a maximum of two players per team…

Not the day or game he wanted as Ireland captain for the first time; it may have been a distraction. Conceded four penalties, and was Ireland’s lineout caller so he’ll feel very disappointed on a personal level despite his typically prodigious work-rate.

Failing to find touch with the final kick of the game was the icing on the cake of a very poor performance from the Scotland captain. Hogg missed three tackles and conceded two turnovers. He will bounce back.

The freedom given to him by Georgia was missing and he struggled to make an impact as he continues to find his way on the wing. A tough afternoon.

A nightmare afternoon for the hooker. Three throws went astray in the opening 30 minutes, all to the back of the lineout, which questions the calling as well as the throwing; the lineout collectively was a shambles. Significantly damaged his chances.

 Looked busy for spells and but was ultimately part of a Welsh backline that failed to create much as a unit – albeit in horrid conditions. The centre, who also missed three tackles, was totally outplayed by his centre partner Johnny Williams, who impressed on debut.
