Hennessey 7 Important early save and rock solid throughout
Roberts 6 Solid
Williams 6 Struggled to win headers but overall fine
Chester 7 Strong performance
Davies 7 Showed his class throughout
Smith 7 Shaky start but really improved
Allen 8 MoTM. Linked up the play superbly and won several tackles
Lawrence 5 Poor free kicks and too selfish at times
Wilson 7 Scored a fabulous goal and grew in confidence
Brooks 6 Was targetted by the Irish but still lively
Roberts 7 I thought he was terrific. He holds the ball well and showed some nice touches.

Giggs 8 Got the selection spot on.
Have to disagree with Lawrence statement.

He needed to be selfish as it stopped Ireland being so regimented

Cutting inside caused Ireland loads of issues he just needed to get his shots on target
