SECOND-ROW:
- Lock: Jonny Gray (Scotland) – The Exeter Chiefs man produced a towering performance for his country and forced the likes of Maro Itoje into rare mistakes. A statement showing from a Lions candidate.
- Lock: Maro Itoje (England) – Came up with a couple of charge-downs early on and threw himself into everything with his usual gusto. Looked like he was playing Scotland on his own at times.
Honourable mention: Alun Wyn Jones (Wales)
BACK-ROW:
- Blindside-flanker: Josh Navidi (Wales) – Did a superb job for Wales after replacing Dan Lydiate and was instrumental in North’s try. Making 20 tackles, he must start next week.
- Openside-flanker: Hamish Watson (Scotland) – The flanker was a major force in this historic Scotland win, making telling contributions in both attack and defence. A class act.
- Number 8: Matt Fagerson (Scotland) – His sides go-to man for the hard carries in congested areas and he got through a huge amount of work before going off on the hour.
