Scotland v England Match Reports

Scotland ended England's year-long winning streak with a 31-20 Calcutta Cup victory at Murrayfield. The hosts raced into an early lead with tries from Huw Jones and Jamie Ritchie, along with pinpoint kicking from Finn Russell. England responded with a Henry Arundell try midway through the first half, but Ben White's score ensured Scotland led 24-10 at half-time. England's task became even harder when Arundell was dismissed just before the break after receiving a second yellow card. George Ford opened the second-half scoring with a penalty as England looked to close the gap. But Ford then saw a drop-goal attempt charged down, and Jones raced away to score his second and Scotland's fourth try. Ben Earl crossed in the closing minutes for England, but it proved too little, too late for the visitors. A selection of match reports is listed below:
