Made the most of Russell's glorious cross-kick and fought to the line to get Scotland off the mark. Came close to scoring fourth try but was impeded by illegal challenge which led to penalty try.

Much better after a below-par performance last week. Was awarded official man of the match but that should probably go to the back row.
