Scotland
Stuart Hogg 6 The full-back did not have the chance to make too many counterattacks but gave a steady display and was a rock in defence.
Tommy Seymour 6 Always looked dangerous and made some telling breaks in the first half but worryingly had to be helped off after 64 minutes.
Huw Jones 7 Two tries against England last year and his early score here rocked England on their heels. His second brought the house down
Pete Horne 6 He spurned a two-man overlap that could have given Scotland a second-half try but is forging an excellent partnership with Jones.
Sean Maitland 7 The Saracens wing took his try well with an outstanding finish and kept the dangerous Anthony Watson under wraps. Excellent.
Finn Russell 8 No player on the pitch was under more scrutiny and he responded brilliantly. Kicked well and turned England’s defence inside out.
Greig Laidlaw 7 Restored to the starting lineup against France and has now cemented his place. Replaced by Price in the final quarter.
Gordon Reid 7 The London Irish man held his own against Dan Cole and no one would know there was a Scottish front-row crisis.
Stuart McInally 7 The hooker made important tackles in his best display in a Scottish shirt. Was accurate in the lineout and strong in the scrum.
Simon Berghan 6 The New Zealand-born tighthead is Scotland’s heaviest forward and he made it count. Made some crunching tackles.
Grant Gilchrist 7 Scotland’s best ball-carrier against France was strong again although his discipline let him down. Everywhere in the first half.
Jonny Gray 7 The lock put painful memories of Twickenham last year behind him and was Scotland’s most prolific tackler. Good lineout work.
John Barclay (capt) 7 He did some outstanding work at the breakdown and was particularly impressive in the first half. Good, abrasive display.
Hamish Watson 7 Built for speed and should have used that pace to score a try but Horne’s pass was wayward. Always a thorn in England’s side.
Ryan Wilson 7 Nasty incident when he appeared to run his fingernails down Hughes’s face, but Wilson refused to bow to the heftier No 8.
REPLACEMENTS
Jamie Bhatti (for Reid 55) 6; WP Nel (for Berghan 68) Made a big impact in the scrum 7; Tim Swinson (for Gilchrist 55) 6; David Denton (for Wilson 68) 6; Ali Price (for Laidlaw 62) Added some extra tempo in the last quarter 6; Nick Grigg (for Horne 72) 6; Blair Kinghorn (for Seymour 64) 6
England
Mike Brown 5 The full-back had been outstanding against Wales but was stuck doing defensive duties on a miserable night.
Anthony Watson 5 He and Brown were at fault for Jones’s second try. Almost wriggled though for a late try and made some big tackles.
Jonathan Joseph 6 The hammer of the Scots last year but not this time. He was mostly restricted to defensive duties and half-breaks.
Owen Farrell 6 England’s best player against Wales and his try hauled them back into the game; was unlucky to see a second turned down.
Jonny May 5 He had few chances to repeat his try-scoring feats against Wales. The wing made some decent runs but faded after the break.
George Ford 5 Had the odd experience of being eclipsed by his opposite number and playing behind a beaten pack before being replaced.
Danny Care 6 He had a decent night under pressure from the Scotland back row. Kicked well but unable to attack around the fringes.
Mako Vunipola 5 Those scrummaging sessions against the Georgian pack paid off but he was not at his best in open play. Looked weary.
Dylan Hartley (capt) 5 England’s captain became his country’s second most-capped player. But question marks will be against his place in the side.
Dan Cole 6 He was his usual powerful self at scrums and made some important tackles but unable to impose himself on the game.
Joe Launchbury 7 Not the way to mark your 50th cap, but he had a decent game in the engine-room and was influential in the lineout.
Maro Itoje 6 Not at his best in this tournament by his standards. Had a solid game in the lineout and made some good carries.
Courtney Lawes 6 He tackled well and will be disappointed that his thumping hit on Barclay did not give Farrell his second try.
Chris Robshaw 6 Made his mark at the breakdown early on and forced to play at No 8 for much of the second half. Worked tirelessly, as always.
Nathan Hughes 6 Rushed back to fitness for his ball-carrying power. He was England’s best forward before his withdrawal after the break.
REPLACEMENTS
Jamie George (for Hartley 55) 6; Joe Marler (for Vunipola 68) 6; Harry Williams (for Cole 64) 6; George Kruis (for Launchbury 71) 6; Sam Underhill (for Hughes 53) Made an impact but also got yellow card 5; Richard Wigglesworth (for Care 71) 6; Ben Te’o (for Ford 64) 6; Jack Nowell (for Brown 55) 6.
