sport news PLAYER RATINGS: Duhan van der Merwe stole the show at Twickenham trends now
Scotland put down a marker in their opening game of the Six Nations as they eased past England 23-29 at Twickenham on Satuday.
It was a nightmare start for life as England coach for Steve Borthwick as he watched the visitors score a late try to overturn the score and snatch a win.
Sportsmail's Adam Hathaway and Calum Crowe were on hand to rate the players from both teams.

Freddie Steward - Did the business under the high stuff but missing for Scots’ second try. 6
Max Malins – One of the Premiership top poachers and showed why he is back in the side. 7
Joe Marchant – Slipped off tackle for Scots’ second score and England’s midfield misfired again. 5
Owen Farrell (capt) - Couple of big hits on Finn Russell and involved in England’s best attacking moments. 6
Ollie Hassell-Collins – First touch was poor and second one was a boot, went looking for work. 5
Marcus Smith - Gave it a crack but always looks a bit too frenetic and rushed at this level. 5
Jack van Poortvliet – Bit of a nightmare early with couple of fumbles and a missed tackle before being replaced. 5
Ellis Genge - England had their struggles again at scrum-time but got one over Scots after the break. 5
Max Malins scored two tries for England but still ended up on the losing side on the night
Jamie George – Big game player and showed up again despite not training all week. 7
Kyle Sinckler - Part of a misfiring set-piece in the first period when the Scots got on top. 6
Maro Itoje - Better than the autumn but still not back to the old Maro 6
Ollie Chessum – Superb. Tough as nails for a youngster, carried and won his line out share. 8
Lewis Ludlam – Great pass for Malins’ second try and always looked on front foot 6
Ben Curry – Like having his twin brother in the side. Got stuck in and carried hard 6
Alex Dombrandt – Mixed bag for the Harlequins No.8 with dropped balls and some inspiration 5
Replacements: Jack Walker (N/A), Mako Vunipola (for Genge 61) 5, Dan Cole (for Sinckler 61) 6, Nick Isiekwe (for Curry 61) 5, Ben Earl (for Dombrandt 56) 5, Ben Youngs (for Van Poortvliet 58) 5, Ollie Lawrence (for Marchant 76) 4, Anthony Watson (for Hassell-Collins 65) 5
