The versatile Edinburgh back went over the line either side of half-time to add to an earlier touchdown by Duhan Van Der Merwe. And he then completed the scoring in the last moment of a hard-fought game as the Scots fended off an Azzurri fightback to ensure they ended the championship with three wins out of five for the first time since 2018.
We give each player in the Scotland XV a mark out of ten for their performance at BT Murrayfield.
9. Ben White
Slick delivery for Blair Kinghorn’s first two tries and came close to a score of his own in the first half. Overall, a good championship for the scrum-half. 7 Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group / S
10. Blair Kinghorn
Given he scored a hat-trick and the third try was a worldie it seems harsh to criticise but Scotland lacked control at times. Tough match for him to come into given his lack of time at 10 recently but three excellent finishes. 8 Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group / S
11. Duhan van der Merwe
Showed acrobatic brilliance for the opening try and was a constant threat. His searing break for the final try will live long in the memory. 7 Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group / S
12. Sione Tuipulotu
A bit quieter than his previous outings in this Six Nations but still an attacking threat, particularly in the first half. 7 Photo: ANDY BUCHANAN
