We’ve decided to give everybody a little review of the summer internationals by deciding who has been each home nations best and worst player this weekend.
It proved to be a disastrous start for the Northern Hemisphere sides as all four lost to their Southern foes.
RESULTS:
- New Zealand 42-19 Ireland
- Australia 30-28 England
- South Africa 32-29 Wales
- Argentina 26-18 Scotland
Home nations best and worst players
IRELAND:
#BEST PLAYER: Peter O’Mahony
RTE 7/10: “Was outstanding in the opening quarter and never gave up in a tough environment, best of the back row.”
Independent 6/10: “The warrior did what he could to keep Ireland functioning and there were some trademark incursions but as it went on, he just became increasingly frustrated with Kark Dickson.”
Every single time there's a narrative about Peter O'Mahony is washed up or past it, he shows conclusively that this is not the case. A proper leader #NZLvIRE

#WORST PLAYER: Tadhg Furlong
RTE 5/10: “Ireland needed a big game from their world-class tighthead but he looked off the pace.”
Independent 5/10: “Quiet enough round the park which would suggest that the less than stable scrums were tough.”
Rugby Pass 4/10: “Virtually no impact around the field and twisted into all sorts of positions by Bower at the scrum.”
