SCOTLAND 9-15 ENGLAND
NOVELL TRY ALLOWS
ENGLAND TO KEEP CONTROL
Try! (Kruis 14) Scotland 0-5 England
Very strong from both sides, then Vunipola has a go from the
back. He’s well stopped by Hardie, but England reset and Kruis drives very low,
through Richie Gray and over the line!
(Farrell 15) Scotland 0-7 England
As expected, Owen Farrell kicks the goals today and he slots
a simple conversion from just to the right.
16 min The restart is very deep to Ford, who misses touch
from under his own posts and Hogg runs it back from 60 metres. They get up over
the England 10 metre line and Robshaw fails to roll away from the tackle.
Chance for Laidlaw to get his side on the board
Penalty (Laidlaw 17) Scotland 3-7 England
41 metres, with the angle, this one. The Gloucester
scrum-half sends it sailing through the sticks
37 min A huge push from Scotland but Vunipola gets away from
the base sharpish. Launchbury takes it on, but holds on under pressure in the
tackle and Scotland get the penalty under the posts!
Penaltty (Laidlaw 38) Scotland 6-7 England
Easily chipped over and there’s a point in it.
Half-time: Scotland 6-7 England
Try! (Nowell 51) Scotland 6-12 England
England go through the phases, handling it very nicely.
Vunipola pops it back inside to Farrell who give it right to Nowell. He heads
for the outside shoulder of Seymour and puts on the afterburners, then slides
over in the corner. That’s an excellent finish
62 min That’s great work from Mako Vunipola and Dylan
Hartley. Scotland go sideways and splinter and Farrell, from 40 metres out and
10 in from touch, will have a crack at goal.
(Farrell 62) Scotland 6-15 England
The radar is fixed. Farrell sends it through to move England
more than a score in front.
68 min Scotland go deeper, looking for some momentum, but
when they go left Taylor is dragged into touch. England go quickly but then
Brown kicks very poorly. He wanted to spiral it into the corner but it went
straight to Hogg. And to exacerbate that, Lawes was in front of the kicker.
Penalty Scotland, 30 metres out and right in front.
Penalty (Laidlaw 69) Scotland 9-15 England
Through the middle it goes and Scotland are still in this.
FULL TIME SCOTLAND 9-15 ENGLAND
Scotland have shown their quality this match and have shown
that they will be a force this season and that they are improving. Winning
twice should be an achievable target for this season
