SCOTLAND V ENGLAND 6-2-16


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
