Key to Ireland weathering Scotland ’s purple patch. Identified the space and took to the skies to claim Gibson-Park’s chip before Conan’s try. Might have made a slight defensive misread to bite in for Van der Merwe’s try but defensively excellent otherwise.Took his walk-in try and otherwise had limited involvement a la Hansen last week. Turned over on the ground a couple of times but his ball presentation seemed fine.
A highly impressive outing by the Connacht tighthead.Came up big throughout, making a rousing lineout steal deep in Irish territory five minutes before half-time. Picked up where he left off last week, particularly at the breakdown and in defence.Destroyed the Scottish maul, twice almost singlehandedly. Also stole one lineout and, like Ryan, made 12 tackles. Conceded a couple of frustrating penalties but a talismanic performance otherwise.
