Van der Merwe

Barclay has picked Tuipulotu at inside centre, outside Russell and inside Huw Jones in an all-Scottish midfield, with Blair Kinghorn selected at full-back and Duhan van der Merwe on the wing.

While Darcy Graham's dancing feet threaten on one wing, it was Duhan van der Merwe's power that shrugged off Ellis Mee on the other, creating space for Huw Jones on the outside.

Duhan van der Merwe scored the winner, one of 32 tries he has scored in 48 Tests.

Wing Duhan van der Merwe had some nice touches but did not score any of Scotland's five tries against Wales, and Ireland's James Lowe injured his back in the warm-up in Dublin and had to withdraw.

Townsend's side need a miracle in the final round to win the championship but can take heart from their 2021 triumph in Paris when a last-gasp Duhan van der Merwe try sealed victory.
