Centre: Robbie Henshaw (Ireland) – Some outstanding work in defence and carried the ball strongly going forward.
Centre: Anton Lienert-Brown (New Zealand) – The powerhouse made a game-high 17 carries, 89 metres in attack, 10 tackles, one turnover, two clean breaks and beat six defenders.
Winger: Darcy Graham (Scotland) – The undisputed Man of the Match for the Scots as they overcame Georgia and may just have played his way into Scotland’s starting XV. He had a hand in both of Scotland’s first-half scores, and he grabbed a try of his own.
5 tries in 7 Scotland games for Darcy Graham 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
