This is the best British and Irish XV based entirely on performances this weekend

1. Mako Vunipola (England): Played his part in a strong scrummaging effort. To make 13 tackles is pretty impressive too

2. Jamie George (England): The hooker was their busiest defender as far as tackle-count, nearing 20 tackles at Murrayfield by the end. He looked rejuvenated.

3. Tadhg Furlong (Ireland): Big performance from Ireland’s tighthead, responding to questions about his form.

4. Alun Wyn Jones (Wales): A captain’s performance in a losing effort. Deft offload in the build-up to Williams’ try.

5. Maro Itoje (England): A diving steal stripped the ball from Price at the start, setting the tone for a disruptive performance. Itoje was a menace to Scotland throughout the entire 80 minutes

6. Tom Curry (England): Excellent, regardless of the number on his back. Carried with zip all around the field. Earned a maul turnover as well as steals on the floor.

7. Sam Underhill (England): Scotland have a terrific back row, but Underhill kept them quiet. Forced turnovers, was quick to the ball and a constant menace.

8. Cj Stander (Ireland): Might well have seen yellow earlier than he did, but another monstrous game over the ball. Back-to-back man-of-the-match awards.
