Ireland player ratings v Scotland: Robbie Henshaw and Andrew Porter stand out

Ireland retained their Six Nations title with a hard-fought and sometimes scrappy win over Scotland.

In a tense and nervy finale, the team were frustrated time and time again by tenacious Scottish defence and some poor decision-making.

Here's how we rated the champions.

15. Jordan Larmour – 7

Called up at late notice after an injury to Hugo Keenan in the warm-up. Larmour endeavoured to make something happen but was well marshalled. Dropped a pass in his 22 when the game was in the mix, otherwise did well.

14. Calvin Nash – 7

Another who struggled to make a big impact. Almost got over the line and appeared to take the wrong option after doing good work. Super offload that almost set Bundee Aki free in first half and cleared up well after a Scottish break in the first half.

13. Robbie Henshaw – 8

Best of the Irish backs, Henshaw ran straight and made hard yards throughout. Fell off Huw Jones for Scotland's try but had put in an enormous shift, making nine big tackles. Made 14 carries and beat three defenders. Unlucky not to grab a try when held up over the line.

12. Bundee Aki – 8

Another big showing from the Connacht man but let Stafford McDowall through in the first half off a poor tackle. Had his sights set on stopping Duhan van der Merwe throughout. Made a couple of line breaks as well.

11. James Lowe – 7.5

Solid but not spectacular but made some powerful runs that, on another day, could have led to scores. Beat four defenders and kicked well out of defence after an early block-down.

10. Jack Crowley – 6.5

Passed and linked well but his in-play kicking was poor and he missed a long-range penalty. Questions about decision-making remain but he’s still Ireland’s best 10.

9. Jamison Gibson-Park – 7.5

Took on a lot of ball at
