Not enough focus on the second row players in the #SixNations for me.
When
Scotland's standouts at the weekend are mentioned, Matt Fagerson, Hogg, Russell and Redpath are the players most named.
However, both Scott Cummings & Jonny Gray belong in that group.

Scotland's Jonny Gray is at or near the top of every one of these lists. He is the only player who is.
Scott Cummings work at ruck and lineout is outstanding.
These two were hugely important in Scotland's win against England and should be getting the plaudits they deserve.
