Ireland player ratings: O'Mahony excels on landmark night

Ireland are through to a World Cup quarter-final with New Zealand after hammering Scotland 36-14 in Paris.

The game was over a contest after 40 minutes as Ireland racked up four tries against a toothless opposition.

Here's how we rated the team.

Hugo Keenan – 8

Rock solid at the back, even if slightly lucky to get a call in his favour when he looked to have slipped over the touchline. Took his two tries incredibly well, one coming off a poor Johnny Sexton pass. Made 66 metres with ball in hand. Mr Consistent and a key cog in Ireland game plan.

Mack Hansen – 6

Was his usual busy self and unlucky not to grab a try when taking Peter O'Mahony’s pop pass close to the line. Carried and tackled well before being replaced by Stuart McCloskey on 22 minutes. Only lasted a few minutes on his return. Seemed to be stiff when walking around after the match.

Garry Ringrose – 8

Another outstanding performance, has reached a level where we’ve come to expect only the best on both sides of the ball. Was heavily involved in the first two tries and took the fifth Irish score well from the wing. A missed tackle count of seven doesn’t tell the whole story.

Bundee Aki – 8

Not player of the match for the third time in a row but still a powerful influence in the Irish midfield, carries with intent and brains. Made 12 tackles and a vital cog in the second try.

James Lowe – 7

Andy Farrell will be hoping that he gets the all-clear for next week. He took the opening try well, with most of the hard work done in advance. Got an accidental poke in the eye from Tadhg Beirne midway through the first half and was taken off at the break, hopefully as a precaution.

Johnny Sexton – 8

Prime-time Sexton. Ran the attack as we’ve come to expect, taking the ball to
