Price is having a field day behind this pack. 

All the Scots starting excellently. 

Russell is having the time of his life. He's clearly been told to just do what he wants and try everything.

Decent performance from The British Lions , all of the Scottish contingent performed well enough, I was actually expecting the opposition to  a lot more physical and try and rough up a few of the tourists before the Test matches

Decent performance from the Scots today, Price and Russell early doors were great on the front foot.  I think Biggar will start at 10 but Russell’s kicking game has been excellent mostly this season and will be massive against the Bok’s blite defence.

Watson deserved MOTM but Harris put in an excellent performance under the radar, did everything well.

Not sure Harris was under the radar tbh, pundits were raving about him. Hogg, price,Harris and hamish were excellent, finn played well but a couple of brain farts which will cost him

There was actually only one player who didn't really play very well at all, made quite a few mistakes and should have really hurt his chances and that's Owen Farrell. He was the real odd one out in the starting backs and struggled to get on the same wavelength as everyone around him. Had some shocking missed tackles as well. If he'd been Scottish you wouldn't be seeing him again on this tour.

I have a feeling Chris Harris will end up starting a test.   Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s only Watson who gets the start for the first test, with Russell on the bench.

Thought Price was excellent, the one thing that Gatland will have noticed is his box kicks were all on the money. Watson was excellent as always, and deserved MOTM. I thought Farrell as has been said was way of the pace, and doesnt suit the fast game, which is strange as the English forwards seem to have taken to it for the most part, dropped to passes, and was at fault for the first try as seemed to have no idea what he was doing at the ruck and just left the blind side open. Harris looked really good, was refreshing when the pundits were talking about starting Finn as the centre partnerships seemed to be Aki, Harris or Henshaw and would Russel be OK kicking.

The thing I like about Finn Russell is the you never know what he is going to do next, plays with a smile on his face.

There is always the unpredictability of his play.

If the Lions want continuity then Finn won't start..

I hope it doesn't turn into who can batter the defence down better..

Watson once again, immense.
