In a game that felt very much like the disjointed Ireland of yesteryear, Andy Farrell’s men endured a struggle session in this 41-10 win over Japan. It might sound harsh considering the scoreline – which in truth flattered the hosts – but rather than boosting the team’s confidence, if anything, this display might sow further doubts in a side struggling to find form and, most tellingly, attacking shape. Here’s how we rated the Ireland players: 1.

Following the Wallabies agonising 22-19 defeat to Ireland this morning, head coach Joe Schmidt has praised one of his most impressive players in 2024. The Wallabies ended their International season with a loss to Andy Farrell’s Ireland in the Irish capital at Aviva Stadium. They had their chances, leading the game with under eight minutes to go on the back of three Noah Lolesio penalties that extended the lead to 19-15 in the 62nd minute.
