Scotland
1. Gordon Reid – 6/10
Pretty quiet afternoon for the Scottish loosehead. Held his own at scrum time but failed to make any real impression with ball in hand.
2. Stuart McInally – 7/10
Accurate the lineout, with Scotland recording a success rate of 86%. Got through a respectable amount of work around the pitch, carrying 7 times and making 7 tackles.
3. Simon Berghan – 7/10
Locked out the scrum really well. Useful around the park, getting stuck in at the breakdown.
4. Grant Gilchrist – 6/10
Very solid afternoon from the second row. Provided a good attacking option at the lineout and got through a respectable amount of work at the breakdown.
5. Jonny Gray – 7/10
One of the stand out performers in the Scotland forward pack. He recorded a tackle success of 100%, completing all 14 of his attempts and consistently disrupted the speed of the English ball at the breakdown.
6. John Barclay – 7/10
The Scottish captain put in another excellent performance this weekend as his side secured a huge victory against England. He made 12 tackles, 11 carries and secured an impressive 3 turnovers.
7. Hamish Watson – 8/10
The standout performer in an impressive Scottish forward pack. He looked to get on the ball often, carrying 10 times. He made a real nuisance of himself at the breakdown, constantly disrupting England’s quick ball at the ruck.
8. Ryan Wilson – 6/10
A relatively quiet afternoon from the Scotland number 8 this weekend. He got his hands on the ball often but failed to make any effective yardage.
9. Greig Laidlaw – 7/10
A mixed performance from Laidlaw this evening. He marshalled his backline well and controlled the tempo of the game with class. He slotted 3/4 kicks from the tee but was guilty of a couple of handling errors.
10. Finn Russell – 8/10
The best performance we have seen yet from Finn Russell in this season’s Six Nations campaign. He showed us the full box of tricks, clever chips and grubbers, lovely offloads and some truly incredible cut out passes to set teammates into key attacking spaces.
11. Sean Maitland – 7/10
Maitland was one of the standout performers in the Scottish backline this evening. He was dogged in defence, recording a tackle success rate of 100% and securing 2 turnovers. He capped off his performance with an excellent try.
12. Peter Horne – 6/10
A quiet afternoon for Horne. He defended well when necessary and worked hard at the breakdown but he made some careless errors with ball in hand .
13. Huw Jones 9/10
A quiet day at the office for the talismanic Scottish fullback. He kicked well out of hand but was limited with opportunities to attack with ball in hand. His defence was questionable but his handling was effective out-wide, putting his wingers away down the outside.
