Kearney 7
Solid if not spectacular .great defensive decisions throughout. One silly chip kick early on
Gilroy 8
A threat in attack did well to keep the ball in play a few times. Like Kearney good defensive decisions and big defence . A bit loose with his kicking
O'Driscoll 9.9
Brilliant beautiful break and pass for first try well taken try himself, absolute rock in defence . A botched kick ahead in the first half cost him the perfect 10
Darcy 6
Nothing spectacular .will be hard to replace if urn available next week
Zero 7
Has the X factor . Caught out a few times in defence . Ball watching when Cuthbert drifted wide off him. Always a threat and himself and Gilroymboth fronted up physically
Sexton 9
Excellent . Pass to BOD for 1st try sublime. Goal kicking master class. Defensively solid . So god in fact no need to bring on ROG ..... Just for you Ozy
Murray 8.5
Got Ireland going forward with great runs and kept welsh back row honest which probably preserved space out wider. Passed quickly and accurately throughout
Healy 8.5
All round performance the highlight I'm sure for himself would have been his scrummaging. Great work rate tackling and carrying effectively
Best 8
Man of the 1st half . Couple of dodgy throws but a demon in the loose
Ross 7
Scrum good --tight head good did what Ross does
McCarthy 8
Excellent . Great defensive effort probably 18/19 tackles carried well for hard yards
Ryan 8
If Ireland lost some would say he was anonymous but then some wouldn't see him making 20 tackles including 2 turnovering choke tackles. Like McCarthy graft personified
O'mahony 8
Great carries in the first half . Unbelievably physical
O'Brien 8.5
Probably led the tackle count along with Heaslip . Carried well from the off. Great performance
Heaslip 8
Led well .good rapport with ref. didn't get to carry much but tackled and cleared out all day.
Significant vote of confidence by Kidney in Sexton and Murray. except for Murray's card probably would have kept the pairing intact. If it's not broke ........

Just read Peter O Reilly's ratings in the Sunday Times.He gave O Driscoll a 7 on a par with many other Irsih players and behind 3 others in the match.He should hang his head in shame....and I'm not a Leinster supporter.
