Ireland 27-22 England PLAYER RATINGS: Who proved he is his team's main man? Which star looked more like his vicious old self? And who changed the game with his passing ability?
Daily MailIreland kicked off their Six Nations campaign with a narrow victory over England England kicked off their Six Nations campaign in disappointing fashion on Saturday, losing against Ireland in Dublin as they went down 27-22. Ireland got the better of England as the two sides kicked off their Six Nations campaigns England fell to a 27-22 defeat in Maro Itoje's first game since being appointed captain Ireland, meanwhile, worked for their win and are looking to defend the title they won last year Ireland Hugo Keenan 6 - His place is under pressure for the first time, and he responded with a patchy effort. Bundee Aki put in a sensational display, scoring a remarkable try but also proving to be brave and relentless on the ball Jamison Gibson-Park showed he is Ireland's main man, scoring a brilliant try of his own Ronan Kelleher 6 - Denied a try but performed the nuts and bolts well as Ireland’s line-out was solid under intense pressure. Replacements Dan Sheehan 6 Cian Healy 6 Thomas Clarkson 6 Iain Henderson 6 Jack Conan 7 Jack Crowley 6 If this was a showdown with Itoje for the Lions captaincy, then Caelan Doris held his own England Freddie Steward 6 - Reclaimed England's kick-off with trademark aerial work. Ellis Genge looked more like his vicious old self and prowled the pitch like a caged animal Itoje had a lot on his plate as captain and England's line-out down a jumper, but took everything in his stride Luke Cowan-Dickie 5.5 - His Test career seemed over a year ago, but he was back with Jamie George injured.
