Top 5 Performers from the Weekend
- 2049
Elliot Daly
Scored the winning try that clinched a 16th sucessive Test victory for England. Daly showed his pace to get the crucial try, racing away from Cuthbert 30m out to score in the corner.
Daly saved a possible intercept try and put in one of his best performances for England in his career and could of easily been handed the man-of-the-match award.
Stuart Hogg
The Scotland full-back scored for his 4th successive 6 Nations game. It was another accomplished performance in both, attack & defence - Hogg maintained his rich vein of form.
Hogg crossed for the opening try of the game and was a constant threat with ball in hand, in his 50th Test appearance for his country.
Ross Moriarty
A mammoth effort from the No. 8, Moriarty carried strongly and won the key collisions. Harshly removed after 53 minutes but left a big impression on the game.
The 22-year-old added his power with some eye-catching tackles in defence, which halted England's momentum.

CJ Stander
A monstrous performance from Stander, who became the first forward to score a hat trick of tries in the 6 Nations.
Stander also contributed 2 turnovers, 10 tackles, a try assist, carried 24 times for a gain of 70m, beating 10 defenders.
Joe Launchbury
The second-row put in a huge shift for his side, carrying the ball 18 times and making 20 tackles in defence.
Launchbury has shown that he is more than capable of disrupting the Kruis/Itoje axis in the England second-row and becoming a regular starter for his side.
