Hogg The Limelight

The first weekend of the 6 Nations championship rather went to script for Scotland. Start with optimism, play pretty well, lose the game.

There were enough bright spots to suggest Scotland won’t be competing for the wooden spoon and in the shape of Stuart Hogg they potentially have one of the players of the tournament.

The 22-year-old averaged 6.8m per carry last week, the third best in the competition. Throw in two lines breaks and 13 carries and you have a cutting-edge full-back who gets plenty of ball.

Wales looked one-dimensional against England and without George North, this is a game they might struggle to win.

With home advantage, Stuart Hogg looks value to be first tryscorer at 16/1 (Paddy Power) with money back if he scores anytime.
