5, Jamie George: A couple of inaccurate line-outs in tricky conditions meant England were always struggling for a foothold in the game. Five minutes later Earls got his try with a perfect line onto CJ Stander’s pass.
Even off back-foot ball, his delivery is pedestrian. We urge you to turn off your ad blocker for The Telegraph website so that you can continue to access our quality content in the future. 9. Little influence elsewhere. Hopefully Jones sticks by him because his career is too promising to waste. Another giant step towards the Lions. 6/10, 4.
Substitutions, especially Ellis Genge and Willi Heinz, gave England a lift and much-needed bite. When England’s captain starts dropping the simplest of catches, you know something’s wrong with the team.
Looked like a flanker playing at No 8, as he gave England pretty much no attacking threat from the base of the scrum. His defensive effort was up at his usual levels, but it brought little success.

England He did, however, settle down to make a big contribution all over the park with or without the ball in usual belligerent style.
Jack Conan tackled by Guilhem Guirado. Switched to the flank following Van der Flier’s injury. Man-of-the-match. Bounced back with some panache from his disappointing showing in Rome.
Solid in the second half. England head coach Eddie Jones said ahead of his side's Six Nations opener that he had wanted his side to perform like Premier League leaders Liverpool, however it was France who were the dominant side in Stade de France. The French scrum started going backwards when he went off. Please continue to respect all commenters and create constructive debates. 5/10, 11. Nathaniel Cope was at the Aviva for RugbyPass and rated the performances of the Irish players. Had two good runs that got England going forward but lacked that little something extra to make them clean breaks. Uncharacteristic missed tackles, but at least provided a degree of go forward that was painfully absent elsewhere in England ranks. 7/10, 7. Bossed and harried England at the lineout, his 24th minute steal a standout moment. A relatively quiet first half for the now veteran centre. 18. Constantly looking to get onto the front foot and give his centres space to run. Brilliant link play. His first try was straightforward but he worked hard for the second. Diffused a very dangerous situation early on when Mathieu Jalibert found space round the front of a line out, but was maybe caught too narrow for the Antoine Dupont cross kick that led to Damian Penaud’s try – although he was outnumbered. Warned by the referee for throwing the ball away after a French penalty was awarded in the 49th minute, luckily Ireland didn’t concede 10 metres as a result, but petulance like that does teams no favours, particularly if it’s a tight contest.
The Toulousain kicked well from hand and from the tee. Workmanlike but still a lack of variety.
Scotland made it back-to-back wins in the Six Nations as they ended France’s Grand Slam dreams with an impressive 28-17 victory at Murrayfield, a result which lifts them to third in the standings.
5, Joe Marler: Would have been licking his lips at the prospect of facing an inexperienced French front row, but made no headway in the scrum nor impact elsewhere. Given job of attacking debutant Haouas, Marler gave England the edge at the scrum but not the supremacy they craved. The system (RPI) is a world first for its complexity and comprehensive embrace of northern and southern hemisphere players and teams. Another fine touch-finder in the 62nd minute to put France back deep into their 22. Made an outstanding 22 tackles to lead the charts as their defensive general.

Maybe. 5, George Ford: Eddie Jones' plan to put the French "in a box" relied on a kicking game from Ford that was almost completely absent until late on. One hard tackle on Thomas aside, he did nothing in the 16 minutes he was on the field before departing. A popular 79th minute run-on but didn’t actually touch the ball. 5/10, 6.
Like all good opensides, he read the play superbly to snaffle two tries. 6, Owen Farrell: Two simple knock-ons epitomised England's first half. Owen Farrell Mohamed Haouas Ben Youngs A few spills in the rain are completely forgivable.
9/10, 1. Kicking better – but not perfect. Tadhg Furlong 7Ireland had the upper hand at scrum time. His detractors are dwindling in number with every game. Tracked and tackled the same player behind his goal-line to force an attacking scrum in the 51st minute. Was due to start the game on the bench yet found himself celebrating a try five minutes into the match, having beaten Youngs to score.
His potential at 20 is boundless, although he felt the full force of Ellis Genge.

A reliable go-to option in the lineout, taking all seven. An effective link. Inauspicious. The French had won their first three games, but a first-half red card for Mohamed Haouas allowed Scotland to seize control and win the game.
The most insightful comments on all subjects will be published daily in dedicated articles. Brought a steely edge to the pack and made the hard yards when they were needed. Magnificent. Failed to gather a crossfield kick in the 6th minute in competition with Damian Penaud, but he got a break of good fortune that the subsequent try was ruled out for a knock on by the Frenchman – however this aberration was noted by Joe Schmidt post-match. France 10 Ireland 9 player ratings France: Maxime Medard: 8 out of 10. Did he look a little uneasy when England started to come back into the game in the last 25 minutes? Had one of his throws picked off in the first half and was not able to make much of an impact carrying.
Pounced on a loose ball in the 71st minute which was crucial. His snipes created two tries and iced the game with tackle on Heinz.

A genuine threat with ball in hand and picked a brilliant pass for Maitland’s second try. Previous few opportunities to attack from the left flank. Made good break in the 19th minute, bursting through a few would-be tacklers.
While the Six Nations title is still achievable, the Grand Slam has already gone thanks to a surprise 24-17 defeat by France in Paris on Sunday. 5, Courtney Lawes: England's go to man in terms of carries and was his usual self around the park putting in some big carries. Spoilt an immaculate performance with a late brain fade.

Has played for France in both the second-row and back-row. His time will come. It was his box-kicks that caused England problems and led to Ollivon's first try, before he single-handedly set up his second score by beating Sinckler and Youngs.
