HOW SCOTLAND RATED

STUART HOGG

Never quite hit the heights he did against Argentina but still a fine performance 7

SEAN MAITLAND

The fired-up Kilted Kiwi tried hard to find a way through the All Blacks defence 7

MARK BENNETT

Made a confident start before a hamstring injury forced him off after just 13 minutes 5

ALEX DUNBAR

Showed up more in defence than attack. Solid rather than spectacular 6

TOMMY SEYMOUR

Picked off a pass from Richie McCaw to run in a superb solo try 8

FINN RUSSELL

Didn’t spark the way he usually does and wasn’t helped by early head knock 6

GREIG LAIDLAW

The missed penalty attempt will haunt him and spoiled an otherwise top-class display 7

ALASDAIR DICKINSON

Put in an industrious shift but struggled as the game progressed 6

ROSS FORD

Back to his best and is playing with a renewed confidence that had been missing 8

EUAN MURRAY

Got in the All Blacks’ faces early on but didn’t do enough in his short time on the park 5

RICHIE GRAY

An inspiration to those around him and was at the top of his game throughout 8

JONNY GRAY

Called the line-out superbly and showed up well in the loose 8

ROB HARLEY

His best game in a Scotland jersey by far as he tackled himself to a standstill 9

BLAIR COWAN

Played his heart out and was quick at the breakdown to win some good ball 8

ADAM ASHE

Didn’t look out of place against top-quality opposition in what was only his third cap 7
