Scotland player ratings vs Wales. RUCK marks every Scottish player after their opening Six Nations defeat against Wales. Scroll on down to see our player ratings.
15 Stuart Hogg: Didn’t have too many chances to stretch his legs due to Wales’ exceptional kick-chase. Looked a very frustrated figure at full time. 6/10
14 Tommy Seymour: A British & Irish Lion in the summer, Seymour couldn't really be blamed for his team's struggles here. The speedster just couldn't get in the game, despite his best efforts. 6/10
13 Chris Harris: A bit of a shocker for the Newcastle Falcons man, unfortunately. He's a lot better than this display. 4/10
12 Huw Jones: Was slightly better than his centre partner, breaking the Welsh rearguard once, but they were exposed time and again in the midfield. Poor by his high, high standards. 5/10
11 Byron McGuigan: Carried hard whenever he had possession. You couldn't fault the Sale mans effort. 6/10
10 Finn Russell: Probed and prompted his backs outside him but nothing seemed to work. Perhaps a little too much style rather than substance. A very frustrating day at the office. 6/10
9 Ali Price: Threw intercept which allowed Wales scrum-half Davies to open the scoring and it was downhill from there. Confidence seemed to go and he was replaced early in the second half. 4/10
8 Cornell du Preez: Didn't provide the ballast Scotland would have been looking for. Failed to make a first-half carry and was substituted almost immediately after the second half began. Very poor. 4/10
7 Hamish Watson: Comfortably Scotland’s best. Watson was probably unfortunate not to be involved in the British and Irish Lions tour and this was a good performance on the back foot. 7/10
6 John Barclay (c): Quiet first half and coughed up a penalty at the start of the second which allowed Halfpenny to extend the Welsh lead. 5/10
5 Jonny Gray: Made an excellent early break but the lineout was a shambles. Was also outfought in the engine room by his opposite number. 4.5/10
4 Ben Toolis: One turnover was the highlight of a display where he never got near the heights reached by Wales' locks. Alun Wyn Jones and Cory Hill. 5/10
3 Jon Welsh: Held up the scrum reasonably well to his credit and did not look off the pace, despite being out of the international scene for a while. 6/10
2 Stuart McInally: Not straight with a first-half line-out and didn't have much to cheer about on the whole. Like his team, he'll want to forget this one and quickly. 5/10
1 Gordon Reid: Like Welsh, did help the scrum hold firm but he is not the most potent carrier and was replaced by James Bhatti after 48 minutes. 5.5/10
