Scotland captain Stuart Hogg has been slammed on social media after failing to pass the ball when it looked like his side were certain to score against Ireland.
Hogg, who was one of six players disciplined internally following a breach of team protocols last weekend following their Six Nations win in Rome, has made a number of critical errors for his team.

The five players who misfired during the 2022 Six Nations
The 2022 Six Nations is the biggest stage of the year but not all of the greatest players were able to show up and perform...
#1. Louis Rees-Zammit (Wales)
After a strong Autumn Nations Series, the youngster’s failure to make an impact in the opening two rounds of the Guinness Six Nations culminated in Wayne Pivac dropping him from the team in favour of veteran Alex Cuthbert. Returned to the team for the final two rounds, but once again failed to miss tackles, knock on and generally unimpress.
#2. Finn Russell (Scotland)
Ahead of the final game, Edinburgh’s Blair Kinghorn replaced the highly-regarded Racing 92 stand-off, whose performances in this year’s tournament have been the subject of scrutiny from some critics. He’s not been the same player this Six Nations.
#3. Charlie Ewels (England)
Ewels was shown a red card after just 82 seconds following a clash of heads in an attempted tackle with James Ryan against Ireland. He is a very good Premiership standard lock, but he simply hasn't adapted to test rugby and simply looks out of his depth.
#4. Stuart Hogg (Scotland)
The Scotland captain, who was one of six players disciplined internally following a breach of team protocols last weekend following their Six Nations win in Rome, has made a number of critical errors for his team.
#5. Alun Wyn Jones (Wales)
This may seem unfair considering he only played in one game, but he looked miles off the pace as the Italians claimed a historic win in Cardiff. The 150 cap man, boldly going where no rugby player has gone before, was given a 5/10 for his efforts by Wales Online.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
