#1. Duhan van der Merwe (Scotland)

Rugby Pass 5/10: “A difficult day for the big winger despite his obvious attacking strengths as he was culpable for at least two Irish tries.

“Tried everything to deny Hansen in the first half, but failed to get off the ground for a high ball in the run-up to Lowe’s try as Hansen soared above him, then Picked the wrong man as Sexton put Conan over.”

#2. Tomas Francis (Wales)

Wales Online 5/10: “Wales needed him to test Fishcetti’s scrummaging credentials, but the Welsh set-piece hit trouble more than once. Francis tackled well enough but struggled to get his hands on the ball.”

Planet Rugby 5/10: “Nothing to write home about in an average performance. Made all his tackles but struggled at scrum time against Italy’s power.”
