Never in doubt. Well done @Scotlandteam

Scotland put it all together today. Defence has been strong four games running. Scrum a weapon again. Attack much sharper than it has been. Hope I’m not speaking too soon (Cardiff next) but they look like a team that you can trust to compete. Great win

Moment to remember for Brown and Steyn

Two Warriors in particular had more reason than most to celebrate yesterday’s victory, as Kyle Steyn and Fraser Brown each marked a milestone in their international careers.

Hooker Brown led the team out on the occasion of his 50th cap, whilst Steyn’s second-half cameo from the bench saw him make his senior Scotland debut.

Congratulations to Fraser Brown, who leads the Scotland team out ahead of him winning his 50th cap for his country! ????????#AsOne

Delighted for 2 top men in the Scotland squad. Fraser Brown for winning his 50th cap and for Stuart McInally scoring a vital try. Both have shown spades of character in recent months. Onwards to Cardiff for the last round. #AsOne
