England 16-15 Scotland
by David Nicholson
at Twickenham

 

ENGLAND won a scrappy but enthralling game at the weekend to take the Calcutta Cup for the first time in five attempts after finally beating Scotland.

For the second successive game at Twickenham, the men in white managed to scrape a win by a single point as Scotland’s mercurial fly-half Finn Russell missed his third conversion attempt in the final minute.
