As one of Scotland's few genuine global superstars, Finn Russell's performances are subject to a level of scrutiny reserved for only the top players. When Scotland win, often the headlines speak to a Russell masterclass, even if his display has featured good moments and bad.

Scotland coach Gregor Townsend said he was proud of his team after Saturday's agonising 16-15 defeat by England at Twickenham ended a run of four straight victories against their hosts and all but killed off any thoughts of winning the Six Nations.

While Scotland fans may feel aggrieved at the seven points Freeman’s “try” earned England, the hosts were playing under penalty advantage on the goal-line, so would have got the ball back even if the winger was ruled to have been held up over the line.
