On a Valentine’s Day in Edinburgh that saw no love lost between rugby’s oldest rivals, Gregor Townsend’s side overcame a dominant English scrum to record a famous win defined by the clinical magic of fly-half Finn Russell and the opportunistic brilliance of Outside-centre Huw Jones. Russell masterclass and Genge’s calamity Scotland ignited the contest within ten minutes. After wing Henry Arundell was sent to the bin for failing to release, Scotland exploited the overlap immediately. Fly-half Finn Russell sparked the move with a deft fly-swatter pass that sent outside centre Huw Jones racing into the corner. Moments later, the lead was 17-0 as blindside Jamie Ritchie coasted over following a gorgeous floating miss-pass from captain Sione Tuipulotu. England eventually steadied their nerves through their set-piece dominance, with Arundell making amends by finishing a slick move off a dominant scrum. However, just as England looked to be mounting a comeback, disaster struck. Loosehead prop Ellis Genge spilled a routine ball under no pressure in his own 22, allowing scrum-half Ben White to pounce for possibly the easiest try of his career, sending Scotland into the tunnel with a 24-10 half-time lead. Red mist and charging down the streak The second half began as a fractious affair. England clawed back three points through the boot of George Ford, but their momentum was halted by a moment of recklessness. Arundell, already booked in the first half, was shown a second yellow - effectively a red card under the 20-minute trial rules - for taking Kyle Steyn out in the air. Despite being a man down, England threatened a comeback until a singular moment of Scottish defiance settled the match. Ford, last week's Guinness Player of the Match in the win against Wales, dropped deep for a drop goal, only to be sensationally charged down by replacement Matt Fagerson. The back rower showed remarkable composure to gather and feed Jones, who sprinted 50 metres for his second try, sending the Edinburgh crowd into raptures with his Scottish-record 18th try in his Championship career (and astonishingly, his eighth in the Calcutta Cup). Scottish spirit prevails England refused to go quietly, with indefatigable number eight Ben Earl scoring a late consolation try to give the visitors a glimmer of a losing bonus point. But Scotland’s scramble defence was personified by the diminutive replacement back Darcy Graham, who crunched the much larger fullback Freddie Steward into touch to kill any hope of an English miracle.
