9 – Cian Healy
It was a tough day at the office for Ireland, losing their first home match in the Six Nations since 2013. However there was light at the end of the tunnel, and that light came in the form of an in-form Cian Healy. His scrummaging was causing Kyle Sinckler issues for England, and his try was equally as impressive, but for Ireland fans it’ll be tricky to pick out positives from the game after the crushing disappointment of losing their opener. But nevertheless, a defeat can’t deny the form Healy is currently in, and he will be one of the many who look to avenge their first round humbling.
10 – Stuart Hogg
Some things in life are certain. Death, taxes, and Stuart Hogg running an astonishing line to score a wonder. Hogg looked back to his best last weekend and the full back was in fine form which will have fans north of the border rejoicing during such a vital year. The last season has been plagued with injuries and now that the hoodoo appears to be no more, and the scores are coming in and they’re coming in fast. One last record for the day came from the man himself who bagged the 500th Scotland try at Murrayfield, and equalled Tommy Seymour’s count of 19. There’s just no telling when this man will stop stealing the show.
HISTORY | 500 to 1 Stuart Hogg scored @Scotlandteam 500th try at Murrayfield vs Italy. JB Nelson scored the 1st try at Murrayfield vs Eng as Scotland won Grand Slam + Calcutta Cup in 1925.
