Scotland have won their first Six Nations tie against Italy - see below how each player performed.
STUART HOGG: Couple of decent runs before playing in Dunbar for the first try. 7
TOMMY SEYMOUR: Blew a decent chance early on when he over-cooked a chip-and-chase. 6
ALEX DUNBAR: Has pace to burn and proved it with two incredible tries. 9
MATT SCOTT: Had to be brave in defence but still looks short of fitness after his wrist injury. 6
SEAN LAMONT: Smashed his way past Tommy Allan on his way to creating the second try. 7
DUNCAN WEIR: The hero of the day with his last-gasp drop goal. Another promising display too. 8
GREIG LAIDLAW: Scored a couple of penalties but needs to show more urgency at the breakdown. 6
RYAN GRANT: A better display after his personal nightmare against England. 6
SCOTT LAWSON: Seems to have cured Scotland's line-out curse. 7
MORAY LOW: Struggled against Alberto De Marchi at the scrum before being replaced early in the second half. 5
RICHIE GRAY: Back in the team after being dropped against England. Scott Johnson asked him to improve his defensive work and he did as he was told. 7
JIM HAMILTON: Has been as culpable as anyone for the Scots' recent line-out issues but tightened things up in Rome. 6
RYAN WILSON: Fell off a couple of tackles and he might be next for a spell on the sidelines. 5
CHRIS FUSARO: Another promising display on his second outing for Scotland. 6
JOHNNIE BEATTIE: Justified his selection over David Denton with a mature performance. 7.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
