#4. Peter O’Mahony (Ireland)
Ball.Ie 3/10: “Really struggled with the pace and intensity of this top quality test match. Needed to share the Ball carrying work and was a passenger for much of the game. Let others have engagements with the referee. Rightly carded and put his team under pressure by a yellow card that got England into the lead.”
Rugby Pass 3/10: “O’Mahony – so often a figure of leadership and intensity on the field – had a surprisingly quiet game, blending into the background more than making his mark. Getting sin-binned for a 57th-minute professional foul didn’t help matters.”
Telegraph 4/10: “There cannot have been many games where the Irish skipper looked so out of sorts; a mindless sin-bin capping it off.”
Planet Rugby 4/10: “Admitted himself that his yellow card was not good enough and it proved very costly in the latter stages of the match. The skipper didn’t return to the pitch after his sin-binning.”
