Scotland
Stuart Hogg: Got himself in a mess dealing with George Ford's clever toe-poke through which indirectly led to England's try 5
Sean Maitland: Had to wait until just before the hour mark for first real involvement then had a couple of clangers 5
Huw Jones: Few chances to shine but did have England on their toes near the end of first half 5
Sam Johnson: Huge tackle on Jonny May straight from kick-off and worked hard to inject impetus, but not much doing 6
Blair Kinghorn: Went past three defenders in most entertaining moment of the first half, but was swallowed up in contact and turned over 6
Adam Hastings: Coped well with the treacherous conditions but hard to escape the feeling that Scotland lack an edge without he-who-must-not-be-named 7
Ali Price: Safe pair of hands on the whole and always a sniping threat 6
Rory Sutherland: Barnstorming burst early in the second half set up Scotland's best period 7
Fraser Brown: Had a nightmare with the line-out darts in a treacherous wind 5
Zander Fagerson: A handful as always in the loose but doubts about scrum persist 6
Scott Cummings: Couple of infringements made life difficult for Scotland early on 6
Jonny Gray: Another huge shift from Scotland's great workhorse 6
Jamie Ritchie: Fought manfully but England came out on top in the battle of back rows 6
Hamish Watson: Scotland were overwhelmed at breakdown being turned over a staggering 21 times 6
Magnus Bradbury: Led the way with aggression in defence but couldn't get the team on the front foot with ball in hand 6
ENGLAND
George Furbank: Scotland failed to test his ability to cope with the conditions 6
Jonny May: Was not the only player to kick poorly in the swirling wind 5
Jonathan Joseph: Hardly in the game 5
Owen Farrell: Had managed only one from four off the tee at the time of Ellis Genge's try, which could have been critical on another day 5
Elliot Daly: Not a game for the wide boys 5
George Ford: Snap drop-goal just before half time was bold but unsuccessful. Redeemed himself with a well-judged grubber in lead up to only try 6
Willi Heinz: A couple of badly-judged clearances killed his team during that third quarter 5
Mako Vunipola: Quiet game by his own standards but solid 5
Jamie George: The game's top tackler with 18 6
Kyle Sinckler: Great rip stole possession on England's line at crucial moment, when it was 3-3 and the Scots were beginning to turn the screw 6
Maro Itoje: His sort of match. He loves a good scrap 6
George Kruis: Influence of line-out specialist reduced by conditions 5
Lewis Ludlam: Some brilliant disruptive play, fully vindicating the decision to go with three open-sides in the back row 7
Sam Underhill: Gave away the penalty under the posts which allowed Hastings to square it at 3-3, but a huge presence generally 7
Tom Curry: He's not an authentic No.8 we are told. Does it matter? 7
Subs:
Ellis Genge: Part of a big impact bench and scored the match-winning try 6
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
