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.

16. Replacements
Scotland seemed to lose momentum when they took off Schoeman, Turner and Gray in the second half. Ali Price, above, added some zip and Ben Healy brought a bit of calmness when he came on for his debut. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group / S
