Scotland ended England's 12-match unbeaten run with a stunning 31-20 Calcutta Cup win at Murrayfield on Saturday that revived their Six Nations campaign.
-
The Scots suffered a dispiriting 18-15 loss away to Italy in a tournament opener that piled the pressure on Gregor Townsend but Scotland, in the coach's 100th match in charge, made a superb start against their oldest rivals.
Scotland led 17-0 after just 16 minutes and 24-10 at halftime through tries from Huw Jones, Jamie Ritchie and Ben White.
Jones and Ritchie both struck after England were reduced to 14 men following Henry Arundell’s yellow card.
Arundell was off the field for good after a 20-minute red card shortly before halftime for taking out opposing wing Kyle Steyn in the air.
