Scotland retained the Calcutta Cup with a dramatic Six Nations win over England
(Picture: Getty Images)After the best part of two barren years away, the fans are back in heaving Six Nations stadiums and, at Murrayfield, a raucous crowd of 67,144 were treated to a belting Calcutta Cup clash, which Scotland won in unforgettable fashion by 20 points to 17.
A stunning second half saw Marcus Smith guide England into a seven-point lead before – with the fly-half replaced for the final 15 minutes – Scotland roared back to claim victory. It means England have won just one of the last five Calcutta Cup matches, and just one of their last four Six Nations matches. It is a long way back from here in a fiercely competitive Championship.
