FROM a 12-game winning streak to a St Valentine's Day massacre... Murrayfield really is the place where England get the brush-off.

- ADAM HATHAWAY AT MURRAYFIELD

A four-try triumph, in which wing Henry Arundell was shown two yellow cards in the first 40, saw Scotland inflict their rivals' heaviest Calcutta Cup defeat in eight years.

For Gregor Townsend, under heavy fire after opening the Six Nations with a grim 18-15 defeat by Italy, this will go down as a date to remember.

For counterpart Steve Borthwick... well you can add this to the list of nightmares in Edinburgh, which is a long one.

Fly-half Finn Russell put a pin in England's balloon with another inspired display to make it three Calcutta Cup wins in a row here.

As for Arundell, he was England's worst enemy - red-carded for two yellows in 38 minutes while his second could have been a red its own right.

The wing ran straight into Kyle Steyn when the Warrior was in the air and had to walk the walk of shame.

Not that that should take the shine off a bonus-point showing from a Scotland side hellbent on making up for last week's 18-15 collapse in Rome.
