Scotland secure successive Calcutta Cup wins after a dramatic late penalty try helps them claim a nerve-shredding Six Nations victory over England at Murrayfield.
Scotland secured successive Calcutta Cup wins for the first time since 1984 after a dramatic late penalty try helped them claim a nerve-shredding Six Nations victory over England.
Eddie Jones' England, meanwhile, have now lost four of their last six matches in the competition and travel to Italy the following day needing a win to salvage any hopes of being contenders.Mercifully the biblical weather forecast never quite lived up to the doomsday predictions. Murrayfield was packed and heaving and, then, hushed.
Scotland lost Ali Price to a VAR soon after. What a moment that was for his replacement White on his debut. England carried on dominating possession and territory, carried on trying to pin the Scots back without showing the penetration needed to breach what has been the best Six Nations defence over the past two championships. They prodded away.
All of that flipped early in the new half. England began strongly again, but this time they put points on the board, Smith firing over a penalty to make it 10-9 and then adding that try four minutes later.
