RATINGS Scotland

-

Substitute­s

Blair Kinghorn 7

Capped an adventurou­s if uneven evening with a fine solo try.

Darcy Graham 8

Played with real verve from first to last and was rewarded with two tries. Chris Harris 7 Made a good impact early and showed up well in defence too.

James Lang 6

First- half injury perhaps hampered his showing in his first Test in over two years.

Duhan van der Merwe 8

A marked man on his debut, the Edinburgh winger stuck to his task well and claimed an excellent try late in the game.

Adam Hastings 7

Stand- off’s place- kicking was not at its best, but he did well ball in hand to spark some fine attacks. Ali Price 7

Lively and efficient, the Glasgow scrum- half surely did enough to keep him ahead of team- mate George Horne in the pecking order.

Rory Sutherland 8 Scrummaged impressive­ly against one of the most fearsome packs in world rugby.

Fraser Brown 8

Marked his first outing as captain with two tries and a commanding performanc­e as leader.

Zander Fagerson 7

Another solid shift from a world- class tighthead who has evolved into one of the most indispensa­ble members of the team.

Ben Toolis 8

Bossed the lineout, worked hard all the way through and enjoyed a fine solo run in the closing stages.

Scott Cummings 7

Partnered Toolis well and contribute­d solidly to Scotland’s dominance up front. Jamie Ritchie 7 Took over as captain when Brown went off and is now another almost automatic choice.

Hamish Watson 7

Official man of the match was as hyperactiv­e as ever and finished well for his try.

Matt Fagerson 6

Injury ended his match before half- time. Stuart McInally Scored from a lineout after replacing captain Brown. Oli Kebble

First cap for Glasgow loosehead. Simon Berghan

Took over from Zander Fagerson late in the game. Rob Harley Slotted in at lock. Nick Haining Late change in the back row. Cornell du Preez Replaced Matt Fagerson and nearly scored. George Horne Brief run at the end. Finn Russell

Some fine touches in his first Scotland match of the year.
