Player Ratings:
- Ellis Genge - 6:
Busy around the park and solid at scrum time as England pushed Ireland into errors. - Luke Cowan-Dickie - 4:
Some poor line out's at costly times in costly positions. - Joe Heyes - 6:
Carried really well in a busy start, stayed in the fight getting through a mountain of work. - Maro Itoje - 6:
Not himself in an emotional day that saw him bring up 100 England appearances. No glaring errors and solid at the line out and joint top tackler for England with Heyes. - Ollie Chessum - 5:
Was busy but unable to make a huge impact. - Tom Curry - 5:
Unable to get in the game. - Ben Earl - 6:
Top Carrier and involved all over, alternated at 8 with Pollock depending on the circumstances. - Henry Pollock - 6:
Tighter in the first half but got involved wider the longer the game went on. - Alex Mitchell - 6:
Off early due to injury. - George Ford - 4:
Missed crucial kicks to touch to start the game, had a bad day at the office. - Henry Arundell - 4:
Died with the ball a bit much and the kicking game plan doesn't suit him. - Fraser Dingwall - 3:
Exposed in the indecission a fair amount as well as for pace. A brutal review is coming his way. - Ollie Lawrence - 5:
Able to set platforms and create things as the game went on, struggled on defence too. - Tommy Freeman - 5:
Busy but did not have many chances, won a scrum penalty from flank which will look god on the stats. - Freddie Steward - 4:
Pulled early for Marcus Smith as he got exposed under the Ireland kick contest and with pace when they broke the line. - Jamie George - 5
- Bevan Rodd - 6
- Trevor Davison - 5
