Average 6.2
6 Ben Foden England’s best runner, especially after the break when Scotland kicked to him and he could find gaps in the defence.
5 Chris Ashton No sign of a swallow dive despite being put into the open a couple of times, but was well marshalled by the defence.
4 Mike Tindall Had done nothing of note except push one attacking kick too long before he was replaced. Strong but lacked guile.
5 Shontayne Hape Nearly cut through a few times but somehow Scotland managed to scramble back to block his best moments.

5 Mark Cueto Had a few runs from deep but, against the ferocious tackling of Scotland, found it hard to make any real impression.
5 Toby Flood Got England off the mark with early penalties and controlled the game with his usual efficiency.
6 Ben Youngs Rarely found Scotland prepared to give him the space to get his offloads away when it mattered.
8 Alex Corbisiero Powerful scrummaging performance. Did everything that could have been expected from him in the open.
7 Dylan Hartley Threw accurately in the lineout and was lively in the loose. Unlucky not to have laid on a try early in the second half.

8 Dan Cole Like his front-row colleagues was seen at his best in the scrum, where he dominated, but must do more in the open.
6 Louis Deacon Effective in the lineout but could never get the better of his hard-tackling opponents in the loose.
7 Tom Palmer Effective in the lineout and an able link man on a few occasions without being able to find the killer offload.
6 Tom Wood Did a lot of hard work in the loose but could not do much to get control as Scotland dominated.
8 James Haskell Carried well and worked tirelessly to try to get on top of the Scotland eight with some effective play in the rucks.

7 Nick Easter His ball-carrying caused problems for the Scotland defence, which always found him hard to stop.
