Scotland secured a significant 31-20 victory over England, marking the end of England's impressive 12-match winning streak in the Calcutta Cup, held at Murrayfield. The win was highlighted by a strong performance from the Scots, who scored four tries, while England's Henry Arundell was shown two yellow cards, contributing to the team's struggles on the field. This defeat represents England's heaviest loss in this fixture in eight years, shaking their confidence in the Six Nations tournament.

The victory was particularly crucial for Scotland's head coach Gregor Townsend, who faced mounting criticism after a disappointing loss to Italy in their previous match. The win not only alleviated some pressure on Townsend but also revitalized Scotland's hopes in the Six Nations championship, as they lifted the Calcutta Cup for the seventh time in nine editions. Scotland's triumph is a testament to their resilience and ability to bounce back from adversity and suggests a potentially competitive championship ahead.

For England, this loss serves as a significant setback in their campaign for the Six Nations title. Coach Steve Borthwick will need to address the issues that led to this defeat, particularly the discipline shown by players like Arundell, as they look to regroup and reclaim their winning form in upcoming matches. This match highlights the shifting dynamics and intense rivalries that characterize the Six Nations, making it a challenging tournament for all competing teams.
