Though his try arrived late, he was particularly sharp in the first half, beating Josh Adams in the air to an early cross-kick and acrobatically claiming the Welsh restart after Larmour's try.

The most insightful comments on all subjects will be published daily in dedicated articles. 7, Tomas Francis The Exeter tighthead may not be first choice at his club but is an important cog in the Welsh machine. He powered over for a try before the break and made some telling breaks 8, A contrast to Vakatawa, he is aslippery, willowy runner and was terrific in the first half before being reduced to defensive duties in the second 6, He kept the dangerous George North well away from the tryline and was a menace when in space, but lacks speed to be a top-quality finisher 6, Limped off at the interval by which time he had been impressive in attack but his sloppy place-kicking ultimately cost France the game 5, His tactical kicking and clever passing kept Wales on their toes and the scrum-half did not deserve to be on the losing side 6, A strong first half and he made some telling carries and was strong in the tackle 6, His reported fallout with the coach inspired one of his best displays for France and unlucky to gave a try ruled out 7, The tighthead was given an uncomfortable afternoon by Jones in the scrums but made some strong carries 5, Very powerful presence in the set pieces and another who did not deserve to be on the losing side.

Carried well in heavy traffic, albeit he failed to jink past any defenders during the 80 minutes. Marvellous bit of footwork and decision-making which almost put Jordan Larmour in for a score in the third quarter. Photo credit should read: Adam Davy/PA Wire. Sat high up in the defensive charts too, executing 13 tackles, with no missed ones over the course of the game.

After two defeats in this year’s Six Nations, coach Wayne Pivac and his staff have several issues to address around personnel and tactics. Your email address will be stored by Read Rugby Union so that we can send you Read Rugby Union updates by email. The Scarlet has been one of Wales’ best defenders in this tournament and a big shot on Duane Vermeulen led to a South African ball spillage just before half-time. Pivac’s teams like to back themselves but Wales’ scrum was not strong enough for the decisions he made. And that call to go for a scrum instead of taking the points? More so when Moriarty was then shown yellow card.

Didn’t look like missing at goal but couldn’t halt De Allende as he surged through for try. Subsequently, he helped along a terrific first-time pass to Larmour giving Ireland a chance in the second half. Led Wales out on the occasion of his 50th cap but had a patchy opening, dropping a high ball, missing a tackle and coughing up turnovers. WATCH: England Rugby head coach Eddie Jones and fly half George Ford look ahead to Sunday’s Six Nations clash with Ireland. Worked hard, as always but this game needed his experience and he didn’t step up. 5, George North The wing’s 90th game for Wales was not his most productive and had little chance to threaten the French defence. One shaky scrum against Vincent Koch saw the Scarlet taken off, but for long periods he did so well.

A busy game, then, before he was subbed on 48 minutes. His performance against Scotland did not silence the doubters but this may serve to quieten them for a while. Wales made it a close run thing but were unable to land a knockout blow.
Perhaps unfair to single him out as the Irish defence was collectively slack and slow-witted in that instance. Was influential in the lineout and the loose. Unlucky to give away a penalty at a lineout.

Stole a big lineout early in the second half in the Welsh 22 - although he did knock the ball on that brought the subsequent attack to an end a few metres from the try line. The jewels in the crown of his performance were the turnovers, so many turnovers.
England Player Ratings v Wales The returning Anthony Watson set England on their way to a 33-30 win at home to Wales that keeps their Six Nations title challenge on track. An interesting selection decision looms in the back row. The lock was also turned over by Toby Faletau when he lumbered into contact in the early stages. Came on early and never stopped, stepping in at both scrum half and first receiver, respectively, to keep Wales going. The Toulouse player is not the force he was four years ago.

However, he grew into the game and showed his true worth, when powering over for Ireland's second try, the score which restored Ireland's lead after Williams' try. A mixed bag. Doesn’t provide the sniping threat but perhaps offers more varied options than Davies. Relegated to the bench after a few underwhelming performances and couldn’t add what Wales needed.
But for Poite's rather curious interpretation at times, he might have a couple more notched up in that particular column. Sometimes they’ll include recommendations for other related newsletters or services we offer. Passed the ball crisply, including one lightning pass in the first half, skipping two defenders and putting Henshaw into space down the left wing.

Some regular standouts were among those who disappointed and some newcomers made an impact. Not exactly his forte. The clamour for his removal was growing louder following a series of less than stellar displays in 2019. 7. Decent delivery to the lineout. Horrible first conversion attempt and his discourse with Romain Poite didn't appear especially productive (at least in the first half) but his kicking from the hand was exemplary as usual. He worked hard, even taking a spot in the lineout at times so Wales could use Tipuric as a runner and distributor, but didn’t make a real impact and went off with a worrying injury. Secured some lineout ball and was combative. The system (RPI) is a world first for its complexity and comprehensive embrace of northern and southern hemisphere players and teams. Fine performance from the Ulster hooker. 8, Josh Navidi Replaced by Ross Moriarty before the half-hour mark and the loss of the big ball-carrier was a blow to Wales.

The hosts were boosted by the inclusion of wing Watson in the XV for the first time in the tournament, after a calf injury lay-off, and he got the first of three England tries.
Tried to set the tone with a turnover in the first minutes and put in a number of telling tackles. Contested brilliantly in the air and his kicking, when required, was smart and accurate. Added some spark but also seemed to struggle to keep his composure. Justified the decision, with a lot of work all over the park and some lovely handling. Davies’s creatively was badly missed. It was a deserved win for Les Bleus, who played the more controlled and decisive rugby. Sign up to our mailing list for a weekly digest from the wide world of rugby. Video will play in. Bold and magnificent. 7, Justin Tipuric Worked tirelessly in the back row and one particular turnover in the first half kept France at bay. Made some ground with his carries. Bright opening and was always a threat in attack. Hot and cold. Please be respectful when making a comment and adhere to our Community Guidelines. Elliot Dee remains injured so the Scarlets man continues to play back-up to Owens. The Welsh pack secured quality possession inside Australia's 22, and fly-half Dan Biggar dropped a goal to open Wales' account. And a try from the outstanding Michael Hooper further narrowed the score. He showed why, with a hugely determined game from start to finish although he let his frustration get the better of him too often with the referee.
