@ grootblousmile:
#18 He has been a good player for Scotland and quite quickly has got to be one of the first names on the team sheet. Seems to be daylight between him and the next best tighthead same thing with the loosehead side with Dickenson doing well for a while although the drop off is maybe not as much to the next loosehead.

Scotland has played well, playing phase play well, doing the percentages well, attacking well… and of course the try!

Quick tap penalty by Scotland… and Duncan Taylor races over for a great try in the right corner!

TMO calls for a look to see if Graig Laidlaw held someone back…
