Wales player ratings vs England:
15. Cameron Winnett – 7
New boy on the block, read the attacking structure well but was unstuck in defence. Couldn’t stop Earl on his way to the line, but looked dangerous with ball in hand. Skipped passed Elliot Daly in a dangerous line break at 55 minutes.
14. Rio Dyer – 6.5
Blistering pace. Backed himself to run from his own try line to clear the danger after a scrum turnover. Denied a 54th minute try by George Ford, after knocking the ball into touch. Was a menacing presence out wide and caused disruption.
13. George North – 7
Provided heavy crash ball option throughout the contest and his experienced partnership with Tomkins was influential. Flattened over Dingwall with a heavy carry up the middle. Won the battle in the centre channel against the Northampton Saints man.
12. Nick Tompkins – 6
Supplied the ammunition for George North’s crash ball’s nicely. Offside for a 47th minute penalty, as he was not behind Josh Adams clearance kick. That gifted Ford three points from the tee, as England began to claw back into the match. Strong defence but the spotlight was on his midfield partner.
11. Josh Adams – 6
Marked out wide on the early goings, as Daly had his number on the touchline. Missed a couple of kick passes to his touchline and swamped by covering Slade. Lost the areal battles to Steward. Nailed Elliot Daly into touch to deny him a try at 43rd minute, in what was the stand out moment of his game. Off for Mason Grady (60).
10. Ioan Lloyd – 6
Tried to run a kicking game but struggled to find his wide men in the early goings. Nailed by Itoje at 17 minutes, as he failed to clear his lines in a dangerous position. Improvement will come with familiarity of the test match stage, but the Scarlets man’s inexperience was a factor despite some searching lines. Off for Cai Evans (79).
