Scotland beat England at Twickenham amid remarkable scenes

Duhan van der Merwe was the hero for Scotland as they retained the Calcutta Cup for a second successive year by beating England 23-29 in a thrilling Six Nations encounter at Twickenham.

In a match that was on a knife-edge throughout, both sides exchanged tries in a pulsating contest, with just one point separating them in the final 10 minutes, before van der Merwe crossed with just over five minutes remaining to seal the win.

But the game will be remembered by most for the winger's first stunning solo effort, which saw him carve through the England defence with an incredible run that started from inside his own half, shrugging off five tackles to score one of the all time great Six Nations tries.
