7Robert Baloucoune - Never mind the time of his debut try, remember the date. 7James Hume – Excellent debut and rare ability to pass competently off both sides; two stunners off his left. 6James Ryan – Still difficult to know why, apart from proving a point to Warren Gatland, Ireland did not give injury-prone Ryan the month off. 7Nick Timoney – Difficult to gauge from this miserable opposition whether he has the heft or wit to tackle sterner tests. Andy Farrell – Difficult to escape the conclusion that his selection could have been more subtle in last eight days.
