SIX NATIONS

HOW IRELAND RATED

DAVE KILCOYNE

Strangely only the Munster prop’s second Six Nations start but deserves to stay in to face Scots.

Throwing into the

7 lineout still needs work but brings a lot to the party. Came off injured.

RONAN KELLEHER TADHG FURLONG

Great to see the Leinster star make first start in 12 months. Was like he was never gone.

IAIN HENDERSON

Unlucky not to be awarded first try. The Ulster second row will hope for an injury-free run now.

JAMES RYAN

The Leinster ace was Ireland’s top tackler once again. Solid and steady on his return from injury.

TADHG BEIRNE

Rampaging second half run shows exactly what the Munsterman can do in open play.

WILL CONNORS

Having forced his way back into the side the Leinster player will be hard to omit now. Two tries, excellent

CJ STANDER

all-round show. Grabbed the fourth try for a very welcome bonus point. Enjoyed himself in the

No support for an enterprising tap penalty, lively display throughout from the scrum-half.

JOHNNY SEXTON

Ireland skipper managed the game very well and kicked eight out of eight at the posts.

JAMES LOWE

Good to see him playing his normal game. Denied his first championship try by borderline decision.

ROBBIE HENSHAW

Superb on the occasion of his 50th Ireland appearance – and it feels like there’s even more to come.

GARRY RINGROSE

Leinster centre backed himself to get through a narrow gap for the first try, his ninth at this level.

JORDAN LARMOUR

Restored to the side on the wing but hip flexor injury saw him replaced by Keith Earls at the half-time interval.

HUGO KEENAN

Full-back ran a great line to score the second try. Very assured once again as the last man.
