If anyone was going to run Cole close it was the Italian Cittadini. He topped the meters and carries but gave away 4 penalties which tips it to Cole.

Kruis played well but at number 5 not 4 so doesn’t make it in here. Itoje on debut did everything and was head and shoulders above everyone.

Tough competition here. Warburton back at 7 played well but did nothing spectacular. Hardie got a good try and Zani worked hard for the Italians. Van der Flier on debut sneaks it though and was a TMO call away from a try.

Only the mercurial Italian 8 comes close to Billy V. He was still miles off the impact Vunipola had on the game. Faletau tackled well again but not much else.

Davies had no where near as good a game as last time out. He made 3 clean breaks but made the wrong choice on at least one of those. Laidlaw made sure the Scots didn’t lose again though. Kept the score board ticking over to secure the win.

Biggar comes in here as Davies dropped out. Where he lost out last week on wrong choices he comes in for doing most things right.
