Grew into the game as he increasingly came off his wing. Little go-forward in midfield, as he has managed in previous Tests. This was his 13th straight win. By far his worst outing of the championship, struggled against Tom Francis and regularly fell foul of referee Angus Gardner. The emotional titan could not drag his Welsh side home.

Replaced by namesake Aled. Very solid in the scrum and looks back in international contention at the right time. When Sexton suffers, Ireland tend to implode and, by his own exalted standards, the World Player of the Year had a shocker.

Won an early scrum penalty. Conclusive evidence that the 'Tullow Tank' is simply not the player he was.

Neat break down the left in the second half produced a chance for North. Kept largely shackled by the England defence, with only a couple of chances to stretch his legs. Gareth Anscombe - 9 His best game for Wales despite being forced from 10 to 15. This should not - and is not likely to be - the end for him in a red shirt. Looked very comfortable on the international stage as he linked with Ford nicely, and nearly bagged himself an early try with a wraparound his half-back partner. Outrageous skill set up Parkes, kicked superbly, and ended with 20 points. Play it now. Ross Moriarty - 8 A warrior. Liam Williams - 8 Has had a fine Six Nations and continued that form here. So how did the two teams fare? Stuck it up the jumper and used all 19st to batter Welsh forwards – but only made 5m from five carries. Ireland's brightest spark on an afternoon of relentless gloom, one of the most effective runners in the world game. Dropped the ball twice under pressure, and found himself caught out defensively on more than one occasion as Cokanasiga and Curry beat his shoulder. Start your Independent Premium subscription today. Pens: Anscombe (6). World Cup place in serious jeopardy. Part of the Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday & Metro Media Group, Pieter-Steph du Toit was a battering ram as South Africa won the physical battle, Wales' Ross Moriarty and Justin Tipuric couldn't impose themselves on the game.

Hadleigh Parkes - 8 Scored within 90 seconds and produced a spectacular cover tackle on Jacob Stockdale.

Not in Jones' case. Replaced after an hour with an ankle niggle.

Combined speed and power to take his try from close range and one eye-catching run in the first half sent Daly and Ford sprawling but Anscombe couldn’t take his offload with the try line at his mercy. Strong set-piece effort helped Wales dominate the scrum. Stander's one-dimensional style was badly exposed. Bit-in in defence to leave space for Adams’ try. The niggle got the better of him and he left the field assisted after 32 minutes. George North - 6 Great hit on Jacob Stockdale laid platform for his team's opening try. No chants of ‘Beast!’ as he did not touch the ball once before being subbed in second half. Tried hard in a desperate end to his Six Nations career, with doubts now surrounding the 36-year-old's World Cup viability.

Due to the sheer scale of this comment community, we are not able to give each post the same level of attention, but we have preserved this area in the interests of open debate. Targeted by Biggar’s trademark high balls and struggled under chase from Halfpenny and Adams. Pulled his hamstring unopposed while chasing a kick, and was distraught as he went off. Wales 25-7 Ireland PLAYER RATINGS: Gareth Anscombe had his best game for the Dragons and Johnny Sexton had a shocker for the visitors.

Unforced errors meant he struggled to set free speedsters out wide. Dominated by his fellow Kiwi opposite number Parkes and has had a poor campaign, Ireland need much more at 12.
