England’s bid for Six Nations glory ground to a halt at Murrayfield on Saturday as Scotland delivered a commanding 31‑20 victory in the Calcutta Cup, extending their recent dominance over the Red Rose and ending England’s 12‑match winning streak.
The Bath winger, Henry Arundell had given England a moment of hope by touching down for his fourth try in two matches soon after the break. But his afternoon unravelled in the first half after being punished for a failure to release in the tackle and then shown a second yellow card for taking Scotland’s Kyle Steyn out in the air, which automatically upgraded to a 20‑minute red leaving England down to 14 men.
