Finn Russell missed all three kicks he had at goal. The last one was difficult from out wide, you wonder if his kicking confidence was up, would he have nailed the winner?

It's simple for me, we have not mentioned Duhan van der Merwe at all in the second half of the game. He needs to get the ball in his hands, he is the catalyst to this Scotland side.
