HOW THEY RATED Marks out of 10
Scotland
6 BLAIR KINGHORN Didn’t put a foot wrong tactically, getting himself in position to field long kicks and doing most of the basics well. He’s no Stuart Hogg. But, then, who is?
5 TOMMY SEYMOUR Barely noticed he was on the park. Not all his fault. Brave under high ball when needed to be. Never got the chance to hit the Welsh line at pace.
4 HUW JONES Missed a tackle for George North’s try. Then missed Jonathan Davies for the second Welsh touchdown. Needs to work on defence. Obviously.
5 ALEX DUNBAR One half of a channel that the Welsh exploited far too often for Gregor Townsend’s liking. Some good last-ditch tackling, one or two exciting line breaks.
7 LEE JONES Stunning try-saving tackle on Gareth Anscombe. The hardest working winger in the game? Scraps for every inch of turf — and looked dangerous runner.
6 ADAM HASTINGS Missed first kick to touch, looked rushed on occasion but showed more composure in the second half, without ever really taking control of the game.
6 ALI PRICE Some clever kicking, sharp sniping and deliberate slowing of the play when Scotland needed to get set. But a bit flat when within sight of try line.
REPLACEMENTS Fraser Brown (McInally 55); Alex Allan (Dell 55); Simon Bergan (Nel 55); Grant Gilchrist (Gray 69); Matt Fagerson (Ritchie 62); George Horne (Price 62); Peter Horne (H Jones 62); NOT USED: Darcy Graham.
6 ALLAN DELL Who knows what really goes on in the darkest recesses of the front row? Credit him for helping the maul. Taken off 15 minutes into the second half.
7 STUART McINALLY Skipper started and finished move that led to Scotland’s try, hitting his mark with the lineout, joining the driving maul and breaking away to dive over.
6 WILLEM NEL Nuggety in close-quarters combat, a pest in open play, he put himself about with his usual meanness and aggression for a solid 55-minute shift.
6 BEN TOOLIS Dropped the ball just when Scotland most needed a safe pair of hands, as they massed on the Welsh line in search of a late try. Did ugly stuff well.
6 JONNY GRAY Tackled everything, thumped a few boys in red jerseys, carried the ball into contact when he had to. Nothing extraordinary. But not the worst on the pitch.
5 JAMIE RITCHIE Winning third Test cap, against a Welsh back row bristling with menace, he couldn’t gain parity at the breakdown. Lasted just over an hour.
6 HAMISH WATSON You have to love his attitude, at least. But, again, he was part of a back row dominated by their opposite numbers. Never gave anything less than his all.
6 RYAN WILSON Put in some huge hits that the Welsh boys would have felt right down to their studs. He never got the ball going forward consistently, though.
