Scotland 27 Ireland 22: Irish player ratings

On a disappointing day for Irish rugby, John O'Sullivan looks at how Joe Schmidt's players performed individually

Image 0 of 17

Coach: Joe Schmidt will be really disappointed with the first half. The speed of the ruck ball was ponderous, the one-out runners predictable and easily defended, the back play was too deep and lateral, and then having taken the lead, cheap, silly mistakes coughed up possession, territory and the result: a horrible afternoon performance wise and several selection decisions ahead of Rome.
