Nicky Smith - Great game at scrum time- dominated his opposite number and put in shift around the park. Had a strong disagreement with his gumshield 20mins in and the set piece felt the change 7/10

Nicky Smith - Great game at scrum time- dominated his opposite number and put in shift around the park. Had a strong disagreement with his gumshield 20mins in and the set piece felt the change 7/10
Elliot Dee - Strong at the set piece but quiet around the park. Big boots to fill of Dewi Lake who's physicality in the contact is missed from Wales. 6/10
Willgriff John - The No.3 Jersey is very much up for grabs and the Moustachio'd monster from Sale but two firm hands on it with todays performance. 4 Scrum Pens and excellent carrying option off 9 ... The jersey is his for now! 7.5/10
Will Rowlands - seemingly short of confidence - the previously destructive lock has struggled to impose himself in attack and d these last few seasons. industrious at ruck time but Wales really need him punching at his weight. 6/10
Dafydd Jenkins - Consistently one of Wales' hardest workers on the field. Relentless for full 80 and licked his lips for a few big shots at kick off time. A solid show 7/10
Jac Morgan - Captain Jac is rapidly becoming a cult hero. The humble skipper was his usual non-stop self. Failed to get his hands on the ball at ruck time which was a shame but found him in the wide channels and his handling skills were top tier. 7/10
Tommy Reffell - If Wales are going to really tip the momentum in these games against a team like Ireland they really need a stronger Jackal Threat. Tommy is that answer but in that area he had a quiet game. Strong performance else where 6.5/10
Taulupe Faletau - Evergreen and World Class. Nothing more needs saying. Taulupe is World Class 8/10
Tomos Williams - One of the few clear Lions head to heads against the eventual MoM Jamison Gibson Park. Can be proud of his performance still a shoe in for Australia - but maybe in 21 Jersey instead of 9. 7/10
Gareth Anscombe - a 10 playing 10....who''da thunk it. Much needed orchestration at quarterback finally - Anscombe brought the best out of everyone around him 7/10
Ellis Mee - A winger that gets bums off seats - one for the future for sure unlucky to not take his try but showed moments of exciting wing play - will grow into the jersey 6.5/10
Ben Thomas - Glad that he kept his jersey and the baby wasn't thrown out with the bath water. Clearly a different level at 12 than 10 and had some deft touches to unlock his giant outside centre. Not sure he is the answer at 12 for Wales but he was solid today 6.5/10
Max Llewellyn - From the couch to the pitch in 6 short days. One man's trash is another mans treasure and the 6'5 110kg centre proved to be a treasure today. Gave the attack a focus, carried hard and defened well all game 7/10
Tom Rogers - Hang it in the Louvre or at least the Scarlets Sheds.....An acrobatic finish was the frosting on another solid performance- will be a mainstay on the right wing 7.5/10
Blair Murray - A few hiccups in the first 10 minutes but settled into the game. An outsanding limpet like clamp on Mack Hansen to deny a try and made great yards with any sniff of a gap - a powerful fend and electric feet. Murray needs some time in the jersey and he will be a key component of the Welsh Back 3. 8/10
