Every countries best and worst player in round 4 of the 2022 Six Nations

WALES:

• BEST: Dan Biggar (Wales Online 8/10) - "Cap number 99 for Biggar, but nothing flaky about his performance. Largely kicked beautifully out of hand, with one 50:22 showing outstanding awareness and execution. Biggar also hauled down Danty with a text-book tackle. A captain’s display."

• WORST: Jonathan Davies (Wales Online 5/10) - "The look on Davies’ face after he failed to make the most of a potentially try–scoring pass from Taulupe Faletau said it all. It was a chance he needed to take. The Test Lion had previously made a couple of solid runs and proved alert in defence. He’ll be having nightmares about that one moment, though."

FRANCE:

• BEST: Julien Marchand (Rugby Pass 7.5/10) - "Carried hard, made plenty of tackles and as usual won penalties on the ground with his strength over the ball before departing in the 52nd minute."

• WORST: Romain Ntamack (Rugby Pass 5.5/10) - "France’s superstar no.10 was found wanting under the high ball on more than one occasion and pushed a straightforward drop goal wide when his team led by four points with 14 minutes remaining."

ITALY:

• BEST: Ange Capuozzo (RUCK 8/10): "Italy had not managed a single second-half point in their three previous heavy defeats in the competition but Capuozzo changed all that after coming off the bench to make his debut. Twice the 22-year-old found a way through."
• WORST: Leonardo Marin (RUCK 5/10)

SCOTLAND:

• BEST: Hamish Watson (Offside LIne 8/10): "Never far from the ball, he needed strength of purpose at the breakdown to get the edge on a very physical Italian back-row.  Carried aggressively for an impressive 72 metres  and tackled like a tiger."

• WORST: Zander Fagerson (Offside LIne 6/10): "Solid enough, but really has not got his head around the fact the needless penalties kill rugby teams."

ENGLAND:

• 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."

IRELAND:

• 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). "
