Scotland Vs Wales Player Ratings

Scotland

15 – Blair Kinghorn: 9

A phenomenal display from the man of the match. Two tries and bags of class all afternoon.

14 – Darcy Graham: 7

One of the best attacking weapons in Northern Hemisphere rugby. Was a big loss while injured and proved his worth with yet another international try.

13 – Huw Jones: 7

Was excellent once again and seems nailed on to at least be on the plane for the Lions, if not starting the test series.

12 – Tom Jordan: 8

A couple of tries before moving to fly-half in the latter stages, looked composed and calm throughout.

11 – Duhan van der Merwe: 7

Rampaging with ball in hand as always and made plenty of holes for teammates to run into.

10 – Finn Russell: 8

Stood up to recent criticism and reasserted his Lions credentials with a top-drawer performance. Was taken off before his side imploded late on.

9 – Ben White: 6

Controlled the game and outfoxed his Welsh counterpart. Not as impactful as he has been but still a good performance.

8 – Jack Dempsey: 8

Ferocious on both sides of the ball, topping the tackle charts and making dozens of metres on the carry.

7 – Rory Darge: 6

Went off injured in the first half but looked busy during his cameo appearance.

6 – Jamie Ritchie: 8

Everywhere at the breakdown and a nightmare for Wales to shift. A really superb shift from the flanker.

5 – Grant Gilchrist: 6

Lineout had its problems but was solid around the park and put his body on the line.

4 – Jonny Gray: 7

Carried loads and linked up play between forwards and backs, a good effort.

3 – Zander Fagerson: 7

Bullied Nicky Smith at scrum time but did give a few penalties of his own away.

2 – Dave Cherry: 6

Head down, graft, go home. A rinse-and-repeat performance from the hooker who once again did what was asked of him with zero complaints.

1 – Pierre Schoeman: 7

A great display from the loosehead who got through plenty of work in both the tight and the loose, even grabbing a steal at the breakdown.

Replacements: 3

While the Welsh bench brought added impetus and almost turned the game on its head, Scotland’s subs added little.

Gregor Townsend will be furious with the way his side imploded in the final quarter, and the replacements can take most of the blame.
