Rating: 6Séamus ColemanShowed his leadership by urging his team to raise the tempo in the first half. An accomplished performance if it is to be his last one in an Irish shirt in Dublin. Rating: 7John EganNot a lot to do defensively, had a half-chance with a header in the first half from a set-piece. Rating: 6Nathan CollinsLooked solid and dominated the opposition forwards, another performance without a blemish after a bad run earlier in the World Cup campaign. Photograph: Ryan Byrne/InphoJason KnightSolid but unspectacular performance, one great through ball for Parrott in the first half, one great recovery late on to save the day defensively.
