England V Scotland

Scotland retained the Calcutta Cup with an incredible fightback scoring five tries in the second half to briefly lead at Twickenham before an England try at the death created a unique 38-38 draw.
The visitors were staring down a 24-point half time deficit as England were scoring at almost a point a minute at one stage and only a Stuart McInally try halted the tide in the opening 40.
But an early try in the second half by winger Darcy Graham lit a small spark of hope, which quickly turned into a blue blaze. Russell missed conversion.
47 mins: England 31-12 Scotland
Scotland were suddenly finding the same open spaces which were tormenting them in the opening period, but with ball in hand chances were being taken.
Magnus Bradbury scored Scotland’s third try with a rampaging run into the 22 from a sharp Ali Price break. Russell converted.
50 mins: England 31-19 Scotland
England regrouped but a steal by Byron McGuigan won back possession and from a subsequent penalty Russell kicked deep into England territory.
From the lineout Scotland whipped the ball wide for Sean Maitland make space and Darcy Graham to score his second try of the day. No conversion.
56 mins: England 31-24 Scotland
Scotland were sensing an historic win and England were increasingly under pressure and their attack wasn’t functioning in the face of staunch defence.
It was defence turned into attack which created the next Scottish try with Finn Russell on the hour snatching an intercept from a Farrell pass and score under the posts. Laidlaw converted.
60 mins: England 31-31 Scotland
Scotland kept up their momentum and which both sides shadow boxing with kicks and counters the game was tightly poised.
Then with only four minutes left a Scots attack saw Sam Johnson break through the English line and ride the covering tackles to score under the posts. Laidlaw converted.
76 mins: England 31-38 Scotland
The restart gave England territory in the Scots half and from there they built pressure as the clock ticked down. Wave after wave was repelled until George Ford slipped through to score, the conversion levelled the scores and ended an extraordinary game.
