Ireland player ratings: Doris and Murray to the fore

Ireland signed off on their World Cup warm-ups with a nervy 17-13 win over Samoa in Bayonne.

Head coach Andy Farrell will name his 33-man squad for the tournament tomorrow.

Here's how we rated the players.

Jimmy O'Brien - 6

Ran a good support line and finished well for his first international try. Conditions were difficult and there were a couple of knock ons under pressure. Received some treatment on a shoulder injury before being replaced by Ross Byrne in the 53rd minute.

Mack Hansen - 7

His usual lively self in the opening 40 minutes, had plenty of involvements and unselfishly passed to O'Brien when he could have scored himself. Was quiet in the second half with the ball not coming his way.

Robbie Henshaw - 6

Was a cause for concern after colliding with a team-mate in the second half. Had his ankle strapped but was able to see out the game. Missed four tackles and gave away a penalty.

Stuart McCloskey - 6

Made a couple of big tackles early on but pass for Duncan Paia'aua's try was poor. Lasted the full 80 but struggled to impose himself. Made a couple of good defensive plays as Samoa threatened late on. Made 12 carries in total.

Jacob Stockdale - 6

Another man guilty of handling errors, needed a big game after stepping in as a late replacement for Keith Earls who was withdrawn (niggle) after being named to start. Grew into the game in the second half and set up Murray's try.

Jack Crowley - 6

Kicked well out of hand and was a good link to the midfield, saved a possible try with a covering tackle when Tumua Manu broke the line. Had a conversion attempt blocked down that could have been costly.

Conor Murray - 7

Another who registered a couple of handling errors but box-kicking was largely accurate. Kept a cool head
