#HALFBACKS:
- 10. Johnny Sexton (Ireland)
- 9. Jamison Gibson-Park (Ireland)
Independent on Sexton: “As you’d expect the now 37-year-old set the tone and only came off with nothing left to give. “
#FRONT-ROW:
- 1. Ellis Genge (England
- 2. Dan Sheehan (Ireland)
- 3. Tadhg Furlong (Irelnad)
Telegraph on Genge: “First blood at the scrum to Genge in his battle with Tupou. Gave away a high tackle penalty on Porecki but had a highly-entertaining carry through Kerevi of all people. Arguably England’s best carrier.”
Balls on Sheehean: “Brilliant – Just Brilliant. His pass to Aki before Henshaw try was incredible skill. Carried well all night with one epic side step on the New Zealand captain. Will be disappointed with his tackle on Ioane”
