Ireland Player Ratings | France v Ireland
A tough day for Ireland who looked like it was their first time together in the first 40, they managed to get back into things, with some changes from the bench, and get into the game in the second half. Here are our player ratings
- Jeremy Loughman - 4 | A quiet outing and was quiet at scrum time
- Dan Sheehan - 5 | Not his most impactful game in green
- Thomas Clarkson - 4 | As with the rest of his starting front row, a quiet outing. The most penalised player on the night
- Joe McCarthy - 5 | Like Sheehan he did not have the impact expected and it was missed
- Tadhg Beirne - 6 | Won the most turnovers in the game but will look back at his impact outside of this and his defence
- Cian Prendergast - 6 | Couldn't get into the game
- Josh vd Flier - 5 | Not allowed in the game up against a huge France pack
- Caelan Doris - 6 | The form starting forward but also not in the game in a way that is expected
- Jamison Gibson-Park - 7 | The shining light for the Irish side, he was fighting man alone for long periods of the game. A lot of accurate contestable kicks but none landed back in Ireland's possession
- Sam Prendergast - 5 | While at the heart of much that is good on attck for Ireland he falls off on defence with seven missed tackled on the night
- Jacob Stockdale - 5 | Could not get enough ball or win contestable kicks but good to see him back
- Stuart McCloskey - 6 | Featured more in the second half and was able to get his big carries in
- Garry Ringrose - 5 | Quiet night, no trademark thumping tackles and no major impact
- Tommy O'Brien - 5 | A brief moment at the start of the game but mainly on defensive duty after that
- Jamie Osborne - 5 | Defensive duty and the occasional attacking play
- Ronan Kelleher - 5
- Michale Milne - 6
- Finlay Bealham - 6
- James Ryan - 6
- Jack Conan - 7
- Nick Timoney - 6
- Craig Casey - N/A
- Jack Crowley - 6
