Scotland Vs Wales Player Ratings<\/h2>\n

Scotland<\/h3>\n

15 \u2013 Blair Kinghorn: 9<\/h4>\n

A phenomenal display from the man of the match. Two tries and bags of class all afternoon.<\/p>\n

14 \u2013 Darcy Graham: 7<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

13 \u2013 Huw Jones: 7<\/h4>\n

Was excellent once again and seems nailed on to at least be on the plane for the Lions, if not starting the test series.<\/p>\n

12 \u2013 Tom Jordan: 8<\/h4>\n

A couple of tries before moving to fly-half in the latter stages, looked composed and calm throughout.<\/p>\n

11 \u2013 Duhan van der Merwe: 7<\/h4>\n

Rampaging with ball in hand as always and made plenty of holes for teammates to run into.<\/p>\n

10 \u2013 Finn Russell: 8<\/h4>\n

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

9 \u2013 Ben White: 6<\/h4>\n

Controlled the game and outfoxed his Welsh counterpart. Not as impactful as he has been but still a good performance.<\/p>\n

8 \u2013 Jack Dempsey: 8<\/h4>\n

Ferocious on both sides of the ball, topping the tackle charts and making dozens of metres on the carry.<\/p>\n

7 \u2013 Rory Darge: 6<\/h4>\n

Went off injured in the first half but looked busy during his cameo appearance.<\/p>\n

6 \u2013 Jamie Ritchie: 8<\/h4>\n

Everywhere at the breakdown and a nightmare for Wales<\/a> to shift. A really superb shift from the flanker.<\/p>\n

5 \u2013 Grant Gilchrist: 6<\/h4>\n

Lineout had its problems but was solid around the park and put his body on the line.<\/p>\n

4 \u2013 Jonny Gray: 7<\/h4>\n

Carried loads and linked up play between forwards and backs, a good effort.<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 Zander Fagerson: 7<\/h4>\n

Bullied Nicky Smith at scrum time but did give a few penalties of his own away.<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 Dave Cherry: 6<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

1 \u2013 Pierre Schoeman: 7<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Replacements: 3<\/h4>\n

While the Welsh bench brought added impetus and almost turned the game on its head, Scotland’s<\/a> subs added little.<\/p>\n

Gregor Townsend will be furious with the way his side imploded in the final quarter, and the replacements can take most of the blame.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
