Six Nations 2015: Ireland vs England Player Ratings
- 1172
IRELAND15.
Rob Kearney: 7 Fielded everything the English kickers threw at him (which was too often inaccurate or poorly chased) without issue and often made metres when running it back.
Proved how valuable his left boot can be as a clearing option.
14.
Tommy Bowe: 5.
5 Struggled to get himself into the game, and when he did carry he was usually pretty well shackled.
With two centres that are just as capable in the air as him, Ireland are less reliant on his kick chasing.
A quiet afternoon by his standards.
