• Scotland 6-13 England
• Replacement prop grabs Calcutta Cup glory
There is breathless talk about expanding the Six Nations but some things never change. This was a Calcutta Cup encounter straight out of the old-school catalogue, settled by the only try of the game 10 minutes from the end by the visitors’ replacement prop Ellis Genge. The foul weather, in truth, was the real winner but the relief England will feel after their French disappointment will be substantial.
Gone with the wind? Scotland will feel that way, the conditions having led to their captain Stuart Hogg making the crucial misjudgement under his own posts that gave England their match-winning platform.
