Scotland v England

0:00:51 > 0:00:57Scotland kick at Murrayfield against England, the Calcutta Cup match is

0:00:57 > 0:01:01on.

0:01:02 > 0:01:12on.What a score! What a magnificent try!

0:01:21 > 0:01:32What a try for Scotland!Try for England!

0:01:32 > 0:01:39It is a try! This must surely be his greatest moment.

0:01:40 > 0:01:47Sensational finish!Can he get to the line? He scores!

0:01:47 > 0:01:58Oh, the perfect fairy tale! A brilliant try!

0:01:59 > 0:02:07A try with heart! A try for his brother, Tony!

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Scotland have beaten England at Murrayfield.

0:02:11 > 0:02:19England get 60! STUDIO: If that has not got you in the mood for what is

0:02:19 > 0:02:23to come, nothing will. Whether player or fan watching at home or

0:02:23 > 0:02:28around the world, a match that needs no hyperbole, purple prose or

0:02:28 > 0:02:32propaganda. It is the oldest international in the world, and the

0:02:32 > 0:02:38oldest rivalry. Scotland against England.

0:02:38 > 0:02:44And on a glorious late Winter's day, it means that until at least 6:40pm,

0:02:44 > 0:02:47the Grand Slam decider on the last weekend of the

0:02:47 > 0:02:50the Grand Slam decider on the last weekend of the championship is still

0:02:50 > 0:02:53on, Ireland against Wales is literally going at this moment,

0:02:53 > 0:03:01Wales have hung on against Wales, 30-27. The Grand Slam

0:03:02 > 0:03:0530-27. The Grand Slam decider is... 37-27, Ireland must have scored at

0:03:05 > 0:03:0630-27. The Grand Slam decider is... 37-27, Ireland must have scored at

0:03:06 > 0:03:09the end. What a dramatic finale. It was close

0:03:09 > 0:03:13in Marseille last night but France did not get a bonus point because

0:03:13 > 0:03:16they only scored three tries Micro against the Italians. In the blue

0:03:16 > 0:03:23corner, Andy Nichol, in the white corner Martin Johnson and Jeremy

0:03:23 > 0:03:29Guscott. And Paul O'Connell refereeing in the middle. Cake world

0:03:29 > 0:03:39about Dier's narrow victory?Bum time at the end.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42time at the end.-- a quick word about Ireland's narrow victory?

0:03:42 > 0:03:48Squeaky bum time at the end. Ireland got the job done at the end. It was

0:03:48 > 0:03:51great to hear the interception at the end to give them a good result.

0:03:51 > 0:03:59Today coming here, Andy, on an optimistic scale, where are you?A

0:03:59 > 0:04:03lot higher because we are at Murrayfield are not taken. Scotland

0:04:03 > 0:04:07are enjoying playing at Murrayfield at the moment, they have won eight

0:04:07 > 0:04:14out of nine in the text nations -- Six Nations. England are very good

0:04:14 > 0:04:19at the moment, they start favourite, but Scotland quite like that type

0:04:19 > 0:04:23Mallards again.I spoke to some of the RFU hierarchy in Edinburgh

0:04:23 > 0:04:28today, they are very confident. Do you share that?They are not

0:04:28 > 0:04:32playing. From the first time I got in the England squad it was drummed

0:04:32 > 0:04:37into me that you do not lose this game. I hope for England they do not

0:04:37 > 0:04:45think it is routine. If you think it is routine, no matter where Scotland

0:04:45 > 0:04:48are, are in trouble. They will battle and fight and you have to win

0:04:48 > 0:04:54that before you can get any dominance over them.Eddie has been

0:04:54 > 0:04:58around a couple of seasons, England are ranked two in the world, they

0:04:58 > 0:05:02have played every team except New Zealand. They had a hiccup against

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Ireland in Dublin but with the forward pack, with the half-backs

0:05:06 > 0:05:10playing as well as they are, Farrell, it is all looking England.

0:05:10 > 0:05:15But you do not take them for granted because they are still decent,

0:05:15 > 0:05:21Scotland.Paul, totally objectively, what do you think?I fancy England.

0:05:21 > 0:05:26I think Scotland are a far better side than they have been playing. I

0:05:26 > 0:05:29think there are opportunities for Finn Russell in the way England

0:05:29 > 0:05:34defend. I am confident for England but I think Scotland have a real

0:05:34 > 0:05:38chance. History does not lie, when

0:05:38 > 0:05:39chance. History does not lie, when we look

0:05:39 > 0:05:43at the facts and figures about the Calcutta Cup matches, there is not a

0:05:43 > 0:05:48lot of room of optimism from a Scottish perspective?Three wins in

0:05:48 > 0:05:5318 years. The last one back in 2000. That was a personal story. England

0:05:53 > 0:05:58have been much better than Scotland over the years. Scotland have not

0:05:58 > 0:06:04scored a try against England at Murrayfield since 2004. 18 years

0:06:04 > 0:06:12ago, that is a long time ago. A lot of hair has gone since then.I think

0:06:12 > 0:06:19you have more now!That was a very nice moment. A bit of tomato ketchup

0:06:19 > 0:06:30on the chin.But you look the part. You guys battled.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33You guys battled.England came as big favourites and you battled.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35These games are one-offs, you had

0:06:35 > 0:06:35big favourites and you battled. These games are one-offs, you had to

0:06:35 > 0:06:39come as an England player with a sense that if we do not get it right

0:06:39 > 0:06:43and subdue these guys, physically, it could be very, very unpleasant.

0:06:43 > 0:06:49You do not want to lose to Scotland. Jeremy, you were in the great Grand

0:06:49 > 0:06:53Slam in 1990, what was that like to play in and what was that match

0:06:53 > 0:07:00losing like afterwards?I love the game, I was new to international

0:07:00 > 0:07:02rugby, I knew more of the Scottish players than the English because I

0:07:02 > 0:07:06went on tour with the Lions. I knew how good they were, they made the

0:07:06 > 0:07:10team, made the squad, I scored the try, when I went off we were in the

0:07:10 > 0:07:16lead. I absolutely don't know what went wrong!It wasn't my fault. That

0:07:16 > 0:07:21team was scarred by their loss. At the end of our team when I first

0:07:21 > 0:07:25came in, they were scarred by that. Coming here all guns blazing and

0:07:25 > 0:07:30getting beaten. It was a very good Scotland's team, don't get me wrong.

0:07:30 > 0:07:35That was drilled into you, you do not come here and lose. Everyone

0:07:35 > 0:07:38wants to beat them, they are all slightly different that they are all

0:07:38 > 0:07:43the same, you have to subdue them, physically. Let the crowd know. The

0:07:43 > 0:07:46last 15 minutes when they played France, only one team was going to

0:07:46 > 0:07:52win. The crowd were in it, Scotland were great. England don't want that,

0:07:52 > 0:07:57they want people looking at the bus timetable with ten minutes to go.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00But unlike France in the second half, England will not hand them the

0:08:00 > 0:08:05game. Scotland will have to play, try to dominate England, scored

0:08:05 > 0:08:10tries to win. We have this try from 14 years ago,

0:08:10 > 0:08:15almost like an archive piece. Why is this the last try Scotland has

0:08:15 > 0:08:15scored

0:08:15 > 0:08:17this the last try Scotland has scored against Murrayfield against

0:08:17 > 0:08:22England?Many, many reasons. In the interim period Scotland have lifted

0:08:22 > 0:08:26the Calcutta Cup twice, Mike Blair lifted it and Jason White, all by

0:08:26 > 0:08:27kicks.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29lifted it and Jason White, all by kicks. Scotland will not win the

0:08:29 > 0:08:34game today just buy kicks, they will have to score tries. They are

0:08:34 > 0:08:38averaging 34 points at Murrayfield in those last nine games. If they

0:08:38 > 0:08:41can get anywhere close to that, it gives them a real chance.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43can get anywhere close to that, it gives them a real chance.

0:08:43 > 0:08:48Looking at the statistics about Scotland's recent form, whatever

0:08:48 > 0:08:52level you are talking about, on a day like today, this is when you

0:08:52 > 0:08:56want to play, and play the game. Maybe with Nigel Owens as the

0:08:56 > 0:09:00referee we could have a free-flowing match?Nigel will let it flow as

0:09:00 > 0:09:04much as he can. You think of the Scottish back row, they are more

0:09:04 > 0:09:08there are spoilers. Conditions are ideal, if you are a forward or back

0:09:08 > 0:09:13he will not moan. It will be a nice, fast surface. The Scottish backs

0:09:13 > 0:09:21will enjoy that. It is

0:09:22 > 0:09:24will enjoy that. It is built for a wonderful game. I used to love the

0:09:24 > 0:09:26atmosphere here, even when Scotland were getting on top of us, I did not

0:09:26 > 0:09:29mind the crowd being noisy, it made me want to play better.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Scotland will want to play, that could play into England's hands. If

0:09:31 > 0:09:36they play well, they can score points. Huw Jones, Hopp, Finn

0:09:36 > 0:09:42Russell, we have seen it. England will want them to play, we will

0:09:42 > 0:09:46slash the game to pieces, a little bit like Wales did. That is the nub

0:09:46 > 0:09:52of the game, how much they can play and when.The fast answers

0:09:52 > 0:09:55glistening and sparkling in the late sunshine, it is just the most

0:09:55 > 0:10:00glorious evening. It could not be more of a contrast to the weather at

0:10:00 > 0:10:04Twickenham a couple of weeks ago when England, with a little bit of

0:10:04 > 0:10:08help from their friends individual departments, came through so

0:10:08 > 0:10:13narrowly against Wales. -- from their friends in the video

0:10:13 > 0:10:15department. The question had been asked by Eddie

0:10:15 > 0:10:22Jones, are you up to it? England's kicking game, spot-on. The

0:10:22 > 0:10:25chase.

0:10:30 > 0:10:38England's passing game, spot-on. Joe Launchbury's, the very best. Two

0:10:38 > 0:10:44tries for Jonny May. This was going only one way.

0:10:44 > 0:10:52Until the moment of the match. Question, try, yes or no? Question,

0:10:52 > 0:10:58who was first to the ball? Good questions, wrong answer.The first

0:10:58 > 0:11:07grounding is by England. England V Wales in the wet, water to

0:11:07 > 0:11:19cool tempers. To make the colours run. To run and

0:11:19 > 0:11:26two slides and to make the tackle of the round.

0:11:26 > 0:11:33England still right on track.

0:11:34 > 0:11:39Here is an updated Six Nations table, given what happened at the

0:11:39 > 0:11:45Aviva Stadium a few moments ago. Ireland winning with a bonus point

0:11:45 > 0:11:50as well, you can see they are top with 14 points. A losing bonus point

0:11:50 > 0:11:55for Wales but they did not get a bonus point for four tries. If

0:11:55 > 0:11:59Scotland win today they are still in with a chance, and England have to

0:11:59 > 0:12:05go to France in a fortnight, that is by no means a given. The

0:12:05 > 0:12:08championship is wide open. Eddie Jones has been much more low-key in

0:12:08 > 0:12:11the build-up to this match than before the game against Wales.

0:12:11 > 0:12:18He joined Sonia MacLachlan.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24before the game against Wales. He joined Sonia MacLachlan.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Back where it started with England, two years ago. How much

0:12:26 > 0:12:27Back where it started with England, two years ago. How much has the team

0:12:27 > 0:12:29progressed?We are moving in the right direction, every day we get a

0:12:29 > 0:12:31bit better, incremental improvements all the time.You said preparations

0:12:31 > 0:12:35could not have gone any better, what have they looked like?The first

0:12:35 > 0:12:38week we had Georgia, which is fantastic for the set piece work.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41The rest of the time we have worked on the unstructured part of the

0:12:41 > 0:12:46game, which will be important against Scotland.You have described

0:12:46 > 0:12:50Scotland as akin to New Zealand, what challenge do they present?They

0:12:50 > 0:12:55are very good at shifting the ball into space, they have extreme pace

0:12:55 > 0:12:59in Hogg. If you give them any loose ball they will be very dangerous.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03The England boys on the bench will be wearing trousers to keep warm.

0:13:03 > 0:13:10Will you be rocking a power? It is quite cold.I might need a full

0:13:10 > 0:13:16suit!Good luck today. Cheers.STUDIO: The England

0:13:16 > 0:13:19replacement substitutes will have the cycle shorts that get the

0:13:19 > 0:13:23temperature in their nether regions up to 40 degrees to get them hot and

0:13:23 > 0:13:27raring to go when they had to go onto the field of play. There is

0:13:27 > 0:13:31somebody who might be a key weapon this afternoon, the potent pace of

0:13:31 > 0:13:37Jonny May on the wing. He is very quick, and also pretty quirky.

0:13:37 > 0:13:42It is hard to talk about myself, I guess. Everybody is a bit different.

0:13:42 > 0:13:51Are you?I guess so, hopefully in a good way.

0:13:51 > 0:13:56For me, speed is a huge part of my game. I was always nippy as a child,

0:13:56 > 0:14:00going through my teenage years all of my friends shot up and I was a

0:14:00 > 0:14:04bit of a late developer. When I got into my late teens, early 20s, I got

0:14:04 > 0:14:08a bit taller and started getting faster and faster, really. I back

0:14:08 > 0:14:12myself to win the race. I don't want to sound arrogant or any thing but

0:14:12 > 0:14:18if I see space, I would back myself to win the race.

0:14:18 > 0:14:24Jonny May has real pace. Jonny May away on his own! Jonny May for the

0:14:24 > 0:14:27corner. He is in!What is your biggest

0:14:27 > 0:14:32weapon, the flat speed or the ability to go from zero to 60 in the

0:14:32 > 0:14:36blink of an eye? I work hard on my acceleration of my

0:14:36 > 0:14:41top speed, often on a rugby pitch the space can change very quickly.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44That is the skill, Harry transfer your speed, to make the decision as

0:14:44 > 0:14:48to when the space changes and identify it quickly and win the

0:14:48 > 0:14:52race. Is it true you stretch for up to

0:14:52 > 0:14:57four hours a day?No, I walk around with my stopwatch out on my list of

0:14:57 > 0:15:01things to do and the boys get into me a little bit, but I spend a lot

0:15:01 > 0:15:05of time not just retching but on the recovery side of things. It is

0:15:05 > 0:15:11important, if you want your body to deliver you how to look after it,

0:15:11 > 0:15:13the quicker you get, the boy you have to look at yourself and recover

0:15:13 > 0:15:19better to keep doing it. -- the more you have to look after yourself.

0:15:19 > 0:15:26What is on the list for today?I have been in the pool, had a sauna,

0:15:26 > 0:15:31had a massage. Had a stretch, will have small treatment. If I can get a

0:15:31 > 0:15:36nap in, that will be good. Music often divides us, what do you

0:15:36 > 0:15:44listen to be for a game?Where you going with this?Disney?I have done

0:15:44 > 0:15:49in the past. And I do still. Anything positive, for me, before a

0:15:49 > 0:15:57game. And that can be anything from, like, Bob Marley awesome Disney.

0:15:57 > 0:16:04Which Disney in particular?The Lion King, Hercules, I love all the

0:16:04 > 0:16:09Disney films. Just anything. It is not before I walk out, it will be on

0:16:09 > 0:16:15the bus in when I am trying to relax a little bit.Frozen?I don't mind

0:16:15 > 0:16:20frozen. I might not pleasant about one, that I liked the film.What is

0:16:20 > 0:16:28your fastest time over 100 metres? 10.7 a few years ago. Rugby is

0:16:28 > 0:16:31different to a one legend metres sprint, I have not read many of

0:16:31 > 0:16:37them. You don't often get the opportunity to train for 100 metres.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41You and Anthony Watson head-to-head over 100 metres, who wins?Ask

0:16:41 > 0:16:49Eddie!STUDIO: I think Froze it would be a good soundtrack at

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Murrayfield. But we obviously have the beauty and the beast here, we

0:16:51 > 0:16:56can talk about Jonny May and paste generally. You had the Underwoods on

0:16:56 > 0:17:00your side, who were blisteringly quick. In the modern game we talk

0:17:00 > 0:17:05about physicality and bowl, if you have that pace, what option does it

0:17:05 > 0:17:10give you?The beauty of pace is everything around you slows down. If

0:17:10 > 0:17:15you do not have pace, you are scrambling. Jonny May has out and

0:17:15 > 0:17:21out, flat speed. Straight-line speed. Here's having to adapt his

0:17:21 > 0:17:25speed into rugby, he has to learn to run and catch, stay deep and time

0:17:25 > 0:17:28his running onto the ball rather than being too far ahead. He is

0:17:28 > 0:17:33dealing that bit by bit. I do not think there are many faster than him

0:17:33 > 0:17:38in the Six Nations or in world rugby, flat out without the ball.

0:17:38 > 0:17:43That was a brilliant interview. Speed is his point of difference, he

0:17:43 > 0:17:48looks after it, mindset, trains like an athlete, not a rugby player. It

0:17:48 > 0:17:52makes a difference. He seems to be fit to play a lot of the time and

0:17:52 > 0:17:59can really use that speed. He looks out about, great to see. A brilliant

0:17:59 > 0:18:03interview for any young back three player watching.Not just in the

0:18:03 > 0:18:06back, if you asked any rugby player I think they would say they wanted

0:18:06 > 0:18:15more speed. Simmonds, the try in Rome. I know you can coach speed and

0:18:15 > 0:18:20get quicker, but if you do not have it, you never will. Jerry had it in

0:18:20 > 0:18:28spades, and about that today.And we didn't!And we didn't.Plenty of

0:18:28 > 0:18:31guys had speed but could not play ball, you had to be able to play

0:18:31 > 0:18:36rugby swell. You can have a defensive scheme, a guy like that

0:18:36 > 0:18:42can destroy it with his pace. Give him the room to move and the ball,

0:18:42 > 0:18:45they can destroy things. The worst nightmare for a guy like me and Paul

0:18:45 > 0:18:50would be facing somebody like him in space, you do not have a prayer.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54If there is a debate about selection, Mike Brown and full-back,

0:18:54 > 0:18:59where do you sit in whether Mike Brown should have the number 15?He

0:18:59 > 0:19:04has been a to play for Eddie Jones since he started coaching. You

0:19:04 > 0:19:10cannot fault his aerial display. -- he has been a go to player. You have

0:19:10 > 0:19:18players like Arnie and Dan Biggar who can chase the ball, but all of

0:19:18 > 0:19:22his time in international rugby, this has been his bread and butter.

0:19:22 > 0:19:27-- you can have players like Carney and Dan Biggar. Finn Russell needs

0:19:27 > 0:19:31to put the hair balls up for longer. Mike Brown will do this all day

0:19:31 > 0:19:36long. What he was criticised for a bit was not passing in space, and

0:19:36 > 0:19:41putting people in four simple overlaps. But as an all-round player

0:19:41 > 0:19:44he is good positionally and great under the high ball, you cannot

0:19:44 > 0:19:49fault him in those areas.He was man of the match in this game, Eddie

0:19:49 > 0:19:55Jones came out and fully justified it. He got a bit prickly about Mike

0:19:55 > 0:19:59Brown, how good must Mike Brown have felt when his coach came out

0:19:59 > 0:20:03publicly saying how well he played not just in Twickenham but in the

0:20:03 > 0:20:09previous 24?He was brilliant in this game, but he has made some

0:20:09 > 0:20:14massive booties in attack. People have talked about Anthony Watson

0:20:14 > 0:20:20possibly coming in because of that. In international rugby you need the

0:20:20 > 0:20:24aerial competitor that Brian is.If you are sat there is a forward,

0:20:24 > 0:20:29you're going to play at Murrayfield, Mike Brown is up there, you think

0:20:29 > 0:20:33good. England scored their first try of Wales not handling a high ball,

0:20:33 > 0:20:38Watson got a hand in it, we scored. You have to take care of that part

0:20:38 > 0:20:43of the game, Mike Brown will do it. And I also do not think he listens

0:20:43 > 0:20:45to Disney! We have Stuart Hogg on one side,

0:20:45 > 0:20:50Mike Brown on the other, you pay your money, you take your choice.

0:20:50 > 0:20:55Murrayfield is filling up, bit by bit. I am not sure what percentage

0:20:55 > 0:20:58of the Scottish crowd has come from the Borders, but that is still very

0:20:58 > 0:21:04much the heartland of Scottish rugby, whether it be Selkirk or Jack

0:21:04 > 0:21:10Brabham or Galashiels or Holly could. And the Scotland coach,

0:21:10 > 0:21:13Gregor Townsend, comes from Galashiels.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17When I grew up watching rugby, the best teams came from the borders.

0:21:17 > 0:21:24Half the Scotland team was from the Borders as well. To come back to my

0:21:24 > 0:21:28old club and see so many people here, it is great. Great for them

0:21:28 > 0:21:31and for the club.

0:21:38 > 0:21:43Back in Galashiels, have you been to this cosy bar before?By Contra

0:21:43 > 0:21:47member, maybe once. Maybe after I'd scored a try or two I would have a

0:21:47 > 0:21:53drink that the president.How old were you when you started your rugby

0:21:53 > 0:21:59here?About five or six. During Sunday mini rugby, not too far away

0:21:59 > 0:22:06from here. -- doing Sunday mini rugby. I played in my brother's and

0:22:06 > 0:22:11attend team because they were short, I was seven years old. We won and I

0:22:11 > 0:22:18had two touches the whole time. -- I played in my browser's under ten

0:22:18 > 0:22:25team. I played all my age group rugby here, my own jersey was

0:22:25 > 0:22:30something I was very proud to wear. When you see the players that have

0:22:30 > 0:22:34achieved great success with this club in Scotland, David Leslie,

0:22:34 > 0:22:40Peter Dods, Chris Paterson, Legends of the game. You feel very proud it

0:22:40 > 0:22:49is your club.Gala, like the old Father Thames, just keep rolling

0:22:49 > 0:22:53along. I was hesitant, the winger took the

0:22:53 > 0:22:58dummy, I gained an end and passed it to Jim, scored at the corner.It was

0:22:58 > 0:23:05a lovely try.Got the crowd going. Gregor Townsend was blessed with

0:23:05 > 0:23:08great talent. He could be inspirational and try things nobody

0:23:08 > 0:23:12else tried. Occasionally they did not come off, but he could take the

0:23:12 > 0:23:16criticism and go on. He has always been very level-headed, I can see

0:23:16 > 0:23:21that coming through in his coaching.

0:23:21 > 0:23:22been very level-headed, I can see that coming through in his coaching.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26I am quite often as did you think he would be a coach, I would say no,

0:23:26 > 0:23:30but he was always very thoughtful. Although he was material and how he

0:23:30 > 0:23:34played, he played his own way, he always had a reason for doing it. He

0:23:34 > 0:23:39was always a deep thinker. Having come from the borders, Gala is

0:23:39 > 0:23:43steeped in rugby, it is not a great surprise for me to see him being so

0:23:43 > 0:23:48successful. Have the players discuss the events

0:23:48 > 0:23:55of Twickenham last year? They went down full of confidence and

0:23:56 > 0:24:03down full of confidence and ... There will be specifics in terms of

0:24:03 > 0:24:06lessons learned. In terms of the Twickenham experience it is

0:24:06 > 0:24:09irrelevant, we are playing at Murrayfield and we will talk about

0:24:09 > 0:24:13Twickenham when we go to Twickenham in one year.What are your memories

0:24:13 > 0:24:20of Calcutta Cup? I think you played ten?How many did I win?Do you

0:24:20 > 0:24:26know?One. Not a great success.So was it a much filled with foreboding

0:24:26 > 0:24:31or did you always look forward to it?I did, I probably put too much

0:24:31 > 0:24:36emotion into it. I had supported the national team over the 80s and 90s,

0:24:36 > 0:24:41seeing the game against England got you really fired up and that came

0:24:41 > 0:24:46rushing through my veins and body through the game, I am sure it will

0:24:46 > 0:24:49for our players.Will it be through maturity or the fact it is a

0:24:49 > 0:24:54different role of the coach that you have to step back and keep the

0:24:54 > 0:24:59emotions in check?I think it will be calm, there is a real edge to our

0:24:59 > 0:25:02preparations, there is excitement when you how to prepare against a

0:25:02 > 0:25:06team as good as England in such an important fixture for everyone in

0:25:06 > 0:25:11Scotland. That is the biggest game of the year, every year. We can't

0:25:11 > 0:25:15wait to play.STUDIO: Five years behind Greg at Galashiels Academy

0:25:15 > 0:25:20was a young man who many years later kicked England to defeat ten years

0:25:20 > 0:25:26ago. He joins us now. And the big question is whether this crop of

0:25:26 > 0:25:30players currently warning up behind us can supersede Chris Paterson's

0:25:30 > 0:25:35team as the last Scottish side to beat England. If they are going to

0:25:35 > 0:25:39do it today, how important is a player like Peter Horne at 12, given

0:25:39 > 0:25:45he is up against Owen Farrell? Crucial. So much about the

0:25:45 > 0:25:49half-backs in the control, Peter Horne is another ten. He is a great

0:25:49 > 0:25:53communicator, organises and distributes very well. If there are

0:25:53 > 0:25:57ruck in the midfield, he is also a left footed kicker, he will bring a

0:25:57 > 0:26:02lot of balance. It Scotland want to create balance against England, they

0:26:02 > 0:26:06had to get outside the fast press. Having two distributors goes a long

0:26:06 > 0:26:11way.Peter Horne has spoken about studying Owen Farrell in a bid to

0:26:11 > 0:26:16improve his own game. Are they similar?Pretty similar, they can

0:26:16 > 0:26:20both play ten or 12, quite aggressive. Very aggressive, both of

0:26:20 > 0:26:25them. Good defenders. Peter Horne missed a couple of tackles against

0:26:25 > 0:26:30Wales but he is a defend accommodative competitor. There are

0:26:30 > 0:26:35similarities.Finn Russell's kicking out of hand was a little wayward at

0:26:35 > 0:26:37times against France, will Peter Horne take some of that

0:26:37 > 0:26:42responsibility?Here's a good communicator. He played reasonably

0:26:42 > 0:26:49well against France, Finn Russell, his mistakes are obvious. He had a

0:26:49 > 0:26:53bad game. He will relish the pressure today. Peter Horne in Greig

0:26:53 > 0:26:58Laidlaw inside him, they will help each other. This game is won and

0:26:58 > 0:27:01lost on physicality and Peter Horne goes a long way to deciding if it is

0:27:01 > 0:27:06won or lost, as well.The clock ticks on, less than 20 minutes to

0:27:06 > 0:27:15kick-off.The clash between two old enemies for the Calcutta Cup.

0:27:15 > 0:27:22Magnificent run, he is over!

0:27:22 > 0:27:25Magnificent run, he is over!Rory Underwood, magnificent try for

0:27:25 > 0:27:32England.England have scored.It will be a try for Jason Lawrenson!

0:27:32 > 0:27:38Sensational!

0:27:38 > 0:27:46Sensational!A brilliant try! That, surely, is England's Grand Slam try?

0:27:46 > 0:27:59Hi, long and straight!Scotland have won the most dramatic victory.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01won the most dramatic victory.A hat-trick for Solomon Joseph! What a

0:28:01 > 0:28:07way to win the Six Nations!Calcutta Cup, Scotland V England. No

0:28:07 > 0:28:17incentive needed.In the distance over bad, at around five past 12 or

0:28:17 > 0:28:21thereabouts, is Raeburn Place were the first-ever international match

0:28:21 > 0:28:24took place in 1871, and 18 years later the first Calcutta Cup match

0:28:24 > 0:28:30took place. It finished, as we plan to Murrayfield, Scotland nil,

0:28:30 > 0:28:37England nil. A thriller. In an idle moment at 9:30am on the match day, I

0:28:37 > 0:28:41looked at the team sheets for that day. Scotland had a proper with one

0:28:41 > 0:28:46of the greatest names in the history of international rugby, Bulldog

0:28:46 > 0:28:52Irvin. That was his name. Fantastic. Is Owen Farrell the most valuable

0:28:52 > 0:28:58player in international rugby at the moment?His currency is high, for

0:28:58 > 0:29:03sure, given how he is playing. He is valuable for England, along with the

0:29:03 > 0:29:07likes of Billy Vunipola. If they are not involved in the World Cup,

0:29:07 > 0:29:12England struggle. This guy is so influential. He is the most improved

0:29:12 > 0:29:16international rugby player. Every gay he improves another aspect of

0:29:16 > 0:29:20his game. I thought when he first came into the England set up his

0:29:20 > 0:29:26attack was limited -- every year he improves this is two minutes ten

0:29:26 > 0:29:33seconds into the game. He has guns, seen the play some put boot to ball

0:29:33 > 0:29:40and weighted perfectly. -- he has scanned, seen the play. He spotted

0:29:40 > 0:29:43the dogleg in defence, attacked on the outside, went into space, laid

0:29:43 > 0:29:49the ball off and he even had time for jobs that the referee but still

0:29:49 > 0:29:57keep his composure. He can see the space, a nice pass over to Joe

0:29:57 > 0:30:03Launchbury, that was an incredible off-loads by Joel. For me, the

0:30:03 > 0:30:08biggest party has improved as his attacking. He's another dogleg. He

0:30:08 > 0:30:12has the composure again, a quick glance. He has seen the space and

0:30:12 > 0:30:16continually puts pressure on the opposition. Every touch he has, he

0:30:16 > 0:30:22has an impact. A big play from a world-class player. He is getting

0:30:22 > 0:30:26down and dirty. Stopping the momentum of the opposition. Right at

0:30:26 > 0:30:30the end of that match he has the composure and the headspace to stick

0:30:30 > 0:30:35up a really high hanging ball. Mike Brown gets there and pushes it in

0:30:35 > 0:30:43defence, puts more pressure on the opposition. A world-class player.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46So much of England is about Owen Farrell and so much of Scotland

0:30:46 > 0:30:49today will be about Finn Russell. Is there any possibility that Finn

0:30:49 > 0:30:53Russell wouldn't start today?I don't think so, because he is

0:30:53 > 0:30:56Scotland's stand-off and will be for the next few years. He had a bad

0:30:56 > 0:31:02game two weeks ago and Townsend made the choice of putting Greig Laidlaw

0:31:02 > 0:31:07out there. Talk about the consistency that Owen Farrell is

0:31:07 > 0:31:11hitting every time. His bad game is still a very good game. That's what

0:31:11 > 0:31:15Finn Russell needs to find, that consistency. He's got all the

0:31:15 > 0:31:19skills, a brilliant temperament, just needs to find the consistency.

0:31:19 > 0:31:23He got affected from the first performance in Cardiff. He almost

0:31:23 > 0:31:25swung the pendulum too much the other way against France. He tried

0:31:25 > 0:31:30to kick more, which is OK, a good tactic, you just have to kick well.

0:31:30 > 0:31:36When's the last time you saw Owen Farrell make a bad kick? That's what

0:31:36 > 0:31:41Finn Russell has to do today. As a role model, he is facing him today.

0:31:41 > 0:31:49Not directly, but just one out in the number 12 shirt.In the war of

0:31:49 > 0:31:52words before the International occasions, Gregor Townsend was

0:31:52 > 0:31:55talking about the England defence, saying they are offside a lot of the

0:31:55 > 0:31:58time. They suddenly play on the edge and are definitively a very hard

0:31:58 > 0:32:04team to breach.This is turnover ball. One thing they want to do is

0:32:04 > 0:32:08attack your attack. There's only three defenders here. Owen Farrell

0:32:08 > 0:32:14fires hard and puts Jake Ball under pressure and put

0:32:14 > 0:32:14fires hard and puts Jake Ball under pressure and put him back inside.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17fires hard and puts Jake Ball under pressure and put him back inside.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20Pressure on the past and they fire up the game. Even though they're

0:32:20 > 0:32:24down numbers, their driving Wales back all the time and they want to

0:32:24 > 0:32:29attack your attack. That's what they say in defence, England. Wales have

0:32:29 > 0:32:35kicked the ball away and turned it over. A 40 metre line break here. A

0:32:35 > 0:32:41good break down the wing and England should be under pressure here now.

0:32:41 > 0:32:47Rob

0:32:47 > 0:32:53they want to go at you all the time, even if it's not on to go at you. A

0:32:53 > 0:32:58break here leads to a penalty for Wales. There is no better player in

0:32:58 > 0:33:04the 6 Nations that I'll have ready in the position to exploit the

0:33:04 > 0:33:06opportunities the England defence will give you. They put you

0:33:06 > 0:33:07opportunities the England defence will give you. They put you under

0:33:07 > 0:33:11pressure certainly what they want to attack you so much that they do

0:33:11 > 0:33:14leave doglegs themselves and will give you opportunities.Martin, if

0:33:14 > 0:33:18England are offside a lot of the time, everyone is. Do you think the

0:33:18 > 0:33:21assistant referees ought to take more control of the situation to

0:33:21 > 0:33:29make it a better game?Absolutely. The number one priority, get these

0:33:29 > 0:33:33teams on-site all the way through the game. If you are offside, it's a

0:33:33 > 0:33:38penalty, just keep on going. Don't do it early and forget, keep going

0:33:38 > 0:33:44because space is such a premium. England are saying to Finn Russell

0:33:44 > 0:33:49today, come with your bag of tricks and we'll stomp all over it. That's

0:33:49 > 0:33:54going to be the game, Scotland's attack. If you get in front of the

0:33:54 > 0:33:58ball, you've got a chance. The referees and the touch judges have

0:33:58 > 0:34:03to be all offer it.We spoke about his early. The referees have to stop

0:34:03 > 0:34:06coaching the players, trying to tell them to get back onside, released

0:34:06 > 0:34:10the ball, and penalised them. The behaviour will change instantly.It

0:34:10 > 0:34:17must be nice to have enough money as the RFU have, to say it lets fly the

0:34:17 > 0:34:21Georgian pack over and have a couple of scrummaging session is against

0:34:21 > 0:34:25them. What do you think England learn from this?When you're in

0:34:25 > 0:34:28camp, they now have the luxury of this week, without the games, you

0:34:28 > 0:34:32can train hard without having to rest up for the game. Georgia are a

0:34:32 > 0:34:36big strong men. They can scrummage. It gives you a chance to play

0:34:36 > 0:34:40someone different and have a really good work-out. Not just specifically

0:34:40 > 0:34:44getting ready for one game, you're trying to improve as a team. They

0:34:44 > 0:34:49look like they can scrummage, some big strong boys.Let's have a quick

0:34:49 > 0:34:50word about Dylan Hartley.

0:34:50 > 0:34:53big strong boys.Let's have a quick word about Dylan Hartley. Today he

0:34:53 > 0:34:56perhaps almost unannounced becomes the second most capped England

0:34:56 > 0:35:04player of all-time, over from Jonny Wilkinson, and 20 caps or so behind

0:35:04 > 0:35:10Jason Leonard. In this super analytics world, how important is

0:35:10 > 0:35:13the captain still these days?Still very important because you give the

0:35:13 > 0:35:20team a lead. You take the example, set the example rather,. Its

0:35:20 > 0:35:23difference now, the guy plays 50 or 60 minutes at the most. It's

0:35:23 > 0:35:27different to how it was. To play that long is

0:35:27 > 0:35:29different to how it was. To play that long is still a hell of an

0:35:29 > 0:35:32achievement. He's still there and his record as a captain is one of

0:35:32 > 0:35:35the best in terms of win percentage. He's very disciplined when he plays

0:35:35 > 0:35:40for England. He has a different hat on when he plays for England but

0:35:40 > 0:35:46he's also an excellent scrummager. We were worried for the French scrum

0:35:46 > 0:35:51last week, for the Scottish scrum when they played France two weeks

0:35:51 > 0:35:55ago. It may not survive today. England brought Georgia over,

0:35:55 > 0:36:00putting big emphasis on the scrum. Simon Burgess, it will be a big test

0:36:00 > 0:36:12for him.What's this moment like, Andy?It's amazing. We came up,

0:36:12 > 0:36:14England went out first and we used to keep them waiting and waiting and

0:36:14 > 0:36:20waiting. Clive Woodward, I remember him getting really annoyed and

0:36:20 > 0:36:26turned to go down the tunnel and there were pipers coming towards

0:36:26 > 0:36:30him. This is where, as a player, you want to explode out to Murrayfield,

0:36:30 > 0:36:35like they're doing now.An explosion to greet the explosion of the two

0:36:35 > 0:36:40sides. A little earlier than you might normally expect because

0:36:40 > 0:36:50there's going to be a presentation to both sides. Big moment for all

0:36:50 > 0:36:54the Scottish players, but also the point that Martin made, from an

0:36:54 > 0:36:58English perspective, this is a game you just don't want to lose.No, we

0:36:58 > 0:37:04got burnt in 1990. The better side won. It was a better site. Every

0:37:04 > 0:37:08game since then, every game, we wanted to win.We alter dog about a

0:37:08 > 0:37:14few people. Nathan Hughes is a number eight today. What does he

0:37:14 > 0:37:19bring to the England size?He's go forward guy, big powerful athlete.

0:37:19 > 0:37:25He's not played a lot of rugby but he'll be imperative. If he's on the

0:37:25 > 0:37:28front foot, good things will happen for England. Nathan Hughes really

0:37:28 > 0:37:33has a big job to do, carrying the ball for England.Scotland don't

0:37:33 > 0:37:36really have a Nathan Hughes. They don't really have a blunt instrument

0:37:36 > 0:37:43in the pack. Grant Gilchrist carried the ball really well against France

0:37:43 > 0:37:51but he's not really of primary ball-carrier.No, the impact in the

0:37:51 > 0:37:55second half, Gregor Townsend might have to go to his bench earlier.

0:37:55 > 0:38:00Ryan Wilson again is there. He set the passion, set the motion and he

0:38:00 > 0:38:06will have George Ford and Owen Farrell in his sights.In the

0:38:06 > 0:38:10context of how the match pans out, Andy, do you think Scotland have to

0:38:10 > 0:38:15be a head with 20 minutes or so to go?I think so, but more importantly

0:38:15 > 0:38:19they have to start better than me having either of the two games. In

0:38:19 > 0:38:22Cardiff against France, they started poorly. If you let England get away,

0:38:22 > 0:38:27I don't think there's a way back. Scotland needs to come out and get

0:38:27 > 0:38:30their game going. We've talked about Finn Russell, but he is the key

0:38:30 > 0:38:35player here. He has to get Scotland's game going but he has to

0:38:35 > 0:38:40relax, also. He tries too hard and did that in Cardiff, and if he does

0:38:40 > 0:38:44that it might get away from him. Will leave our guys on the podium

0:38:44 > 0:38:49and go down to Sonia.This isn't something I've seen before on the

0:38:49 > 0:38:53eve of the 6 Nations Test match but indicative of the fact there's a

0:38:53 > 0:38:58real edge to this game. As both sets of players left the field after

0:38:58 > 0:39:02warming up, they came off the pitch together and there was a scuffle at

0:39:02 > 0:39:08the mouth of the tunnel. Owen was involved. John Barclay, the Scotland

0:39:08 > 0:39:14captain, had to pull away a number of his players will stop Farrell was

0:39:14 > 0:39:17pulled away by some of his team-mates. A real edge and you

0:39:17 > 0:39:24wonder if some of that might spill over into the game.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27over into the game.I didn't like guys who smiled and shook hands with

0:39:27 > 0:39:31the opposition before the game. It's not that sort of game! You wake up

0:39:31 > 0:39:35hating the world on this sort of day. The only people you like those

0:39:35 > 0:39:46who play for England. Everyone no. In the studio, two of us are going,

0:39:46 > 0:39:52great. The others are saying no. Scotland versus England, this is

0:39:52 > 0:39:56what it's about. You want to go out there and skill aside and tactics

0:39:56 > 0:39:59and whatever, you have to do it to them before they do it to you.I

0:39:59 > 0:40:03need to mention one thing because we received a fantastic e-mail today

0:40:03 > 0:40:06from a lady called me Elliot. She said could you please say hello to

0:40:06 > 0:40:12my husband Christie Elliot, because 60 years ago today he made his debut

0:40:12 > 0:40:15for Scotland against England? It's his 85th birthday today. It's a bit

0:40:15 > 0:40:19too cold to go to Murrayfield but we'll be watching at home with many

0:40:19 > 0:40:24millions of others. Many happy memories, I'm sure, for you of

0:40:24 > 0:40:29matches in days gone by. It's make your mind up time. What we say,

0:40:29 > 0:40:33Andy?I want to see Scotland play better, they have to play better

0:40:33 > 0:40:39than against France. Their key is Finn Russell. Their whole collective

0:40:39 > 0:40:43game can improve by he himself playing better than he did two weeks

0:40:43 > 0:40:47ago. If they do that, they'll give themselves a chance.A massive

0:40:47 > 0:40:51turnaround if he Finn Russell can find his form. I think he's probably

0:40:51 > 0:40:55going to get worse. I see England winning by 10-15 points this

0:40:55 > 0:41:02afternoon.I love your optimism. I feel a sense of foreboding. We don't

0:41:02 > 0:41:06want to lose. I hope Scotland play really well and I think England are

0:41:06 > 0:41:09a little bit... They got a bit defensive against Wales. I hope

0:41:09 > 0:41:14Scotland can have a go and we have a great game.Murrayfield are all

0:41:14 > 0:41:21behind us.I think Scotland and Finn Russell will turn it around and play

0:41:21 > 0:41:24well again. I think England are too far ahead of them at the moment.It

0:41:24 > 0:41:28was a fantastic match in Dublin early today when Ireland beat Wales

0:41:28 > 0:41:32and let's hope this game today is equally as compelling. So much

0:41:32 > 0:41:38history attached to this fixture. This is the 136th meeting of the two

0:41:38 > 0:41:41countries, who contested the first ever international, but there's also

0:41:41 > 0:41:45a really significant anniversary today because 80 Dylan Mackin 80

0:41:45 > 0:41:48years ago, England versus Scotland at Twickenham was the first ever

0:41:48 > 0:41:53game to be televised live. Scotland won, won the triple Crown and also

0:41:53 > 0:41:57won the championship. While the enormity of the rivalry hasn't

0:41:57 > 0:41:59changed, the intervening period, the style of commentary has changed

0:41:59 > 0:42:04somewhat. What the audience in 1938 would have made at our commentary

0:42:04 > 0:42:10team, I think we do not know. They will be with you after the anthems.

0:42:10 > 0:42:13# God save our gracious Queen Long live our noble Queen

0:42:13 > 0:42:17# God save the Queen

0:42:17 > 0:42:18# God save the Queen

0:42:20 > 0:42:25# Happy and glorious

0:42:25 > 0:42:31# Long to reign over us

0:42:31 > 0:42:39# God save the Queen. #

0:42:43 > 0:42:45CHEERING

0:43:00 > 0:43:07# O flower of Scotland

0:43:07 > 0:43:11# When will we see your like again

0:43:11 > 0:43:15# That fought and died for

0:43:15 > 0:43:19# Your wee bit hill and glen

0:43:19 > 0:43:22# And stood against him

0:43:22 > 0:43:27# Proud Edward's army

0:43:30 > 0:43:34# Tae think again

0:43:34 > 0:43:38# Those days are passed now

0:43:38 > 0:43:45# And in the past they must remain

0:43:45 > 0:43:49# But we can still rise now

0:43:49 > 0:43:53# And be the nation again

0:43:53 > 0:43:56# That stood against him

0:44:05 > 0:44:09# Tae think again. #

0:44:09 > 0:44:14CHEERING

0:44:14 > 0:44:19A song which speaks of this old rivalry but in recent times it's

0:44:19 > 0:44:25been rather an uneven contest. Scotland need to improve over their

0:44:25 > 0:44:32victory against France. Same team.

0:44:33 > 0:44:41Grant Gilchrist was impressive against France.

0:44:41 > 0:44:52So much focus on Finn Russell at fly half. Peter Horne is inside centre.

0:44:52 > 0:44:57For England, a pack of power but tremendous experience. 219 caps in

0:44:57 > 0:45:03the front row. Joe Launchbury wins his 50th cap.

0:45:10 > 0:45:16Averaging almost 50 caps a man on the back row. Jonathan Joseph scored

0:45:16 > 0:45:20a hat-trick against Scotland last year. Mike Brown Man of the Match

0:45:20 > 0:45:24against Wales at full-back. On the bench... Scotland only used half the

0:45:24 > 0:45:32bench against France.

0:45:37 > 0:45:43Dylan Hartley moving onto 92 caps today, moving past Jonny Wilkinson.

0:45:43 > 0:45:48Behind only Jason Leonard in English terms. What a captain he's been for

0:45:48 > 0:45:52England. Both teams gather in the huddles far out on the turf of

0:45:52 > 0:45:58Murrayfield. What a game we hope to have here because in recent matches

0:45:58 > 0:46:04perhaps this fixture hasn't served up the best fare will stop and

0:46:04 > 0:46:11listen to the noise at Murrayfield. CHEERING

0:46:11 > 0:46:13A chilly day for that sort of thing! Nigel

0:46:13 > 0:46:23A chilly day for that sort of thing! Nigel Owens is the man in charge.

0:46:24 > 0:46:29Three, two, one.The countdown over, we wait for the

0:46:29 > 0:46:30Three, two, one.The countdown over, we wait for the latest instalment in

0:46:30 > 0:46:34this, the oldest international fixture in the game. The man with so

0:46:34 > 0:46:39much to prove today, Finn Russell, gets the Calcutta Cup under way.

0:46:39 > 0:46:44Taken in by Launchbury.

0:46:51 > 0:46:55The first ten, 20 minutes of this game is so important. Scotland were

0:46:55 > 0:47:03sluggish against Wales and France.

0:47:55 > 0:48:01Penalty to Scotland and if Scotland were looking for a brighter sparked

0:48:01 > 0:48:05two start than in previous games, they've got it.A pity for Scotland

0:48:05 > 0:48:09they couldn't get someone on Peter when's shoulder when he made that

0:48:09 > 0:48:16break.

0:48:16 > 0:48:22Exactly what you don't want when you play, to concede the early points as

0:48:22 > 0:48:31an English team.They dealt with it very well. Grant Gilchrist, you can

0:48:31 > 0:48:36see him fighting really hard to keep hold of the ball. The break from

0:48:36 > 0:48:40Peter Horne was good. It came from a short pass from Gordon Reid and

0:48:40 > 0:48:46that's exactly what we'll see. England will attack so quickly.

0:48:50 > 0:48:55Immediately the spotlight falls on Greig Laidlaw. Eight from eight

0:48:55 > 0:49:00kicks so far.

0:49:06 > 0:49:11Gray it has the distance. That was the only question. Scotland lead

0:49:11 > 0:49:14three points to the good within the first three minutes. An ideal start

0:49:14 > 0:49:23for the home side.A good two great kick from Greig Laidlaw. Composed

0:49:23 > 0:49:30start, some good decisions in attack.

0:51:06 > 0:51:10CHEERING And Scotland have the ball. Their

0:51:10 > 0:51:13defence stands firm and they have the penalty. Better still for

0:51:13 > 0:51:18Scotland.

0:51:18 > 0:51:22Scotland.Once or twice there, there were just in danger of being

0:51:22 > 0:51:26isolated. You only need to be a couple of yards further advanced

0:51:26 > 0:51:30than your supporting players. Players are so quick down and up

0:51:30 > 0:51:37onto the ball.It's exactly what we expected to see from Nathan Hughes.

0:51:37 > 0:51:44One or two really early carries, powerful carries. Interestingly,

0:51:44 > 0:51:50Scotland are targeting that short tackle. Very aware that they have to

0:51:50 > 0:51:54slow England's possession.

0:52:35 > 0:52:43Jonny Gray, sending Grant Gilchrist alongside him.

0:52:44 > 0:52:55CHEERING Murrayfield is alive.

0:52:55 > 0:53:00England have got this. Penalty to England. England's defends matches

0:53:00 > 0:53:08Scotland this time.Superb work on the floor by Chris Robshaw. Must be

0:53:08 > 0:53:11very pleased with the way they've managed to get around what is at

0:53:11 > 0:53:20times a possibly narrow defence for England.It's interesting from a

0:53:20 > 0:53:21line-out. When it falls to the middle, Scotland still have the

0:53:21 > 0:53:29ability to get round the outside edge. Great work from Robshaw to win

0:53:29 > 0:53:45the penalty.Takes it three metres beyond the line.

0:53:46 > 0:54:00Just the faintest strains of Swing Low Sweet Chariot.

0:54:17 > 0:54:22Outvoted by Scotland, from an England point of view. -- out

0:54:22 > 0:54:30thought.

0:54:35 > 0:54:37Short and line-out is the call.

0:55:23 > 0:55:28Hartley to halfway. It slows for a minute.

0:55:47 > 0:55:56Just a little think from Care for sending it down the line.

0:56:21 > 0:56:31Watson bouncing off the challenge from Farrell.

0:56:31 > 0:56:41A different Scotland so far in the opening ten minutes.

0:56:42 > 0:56:51Advantage to England for the knock on.

0:57:03 > 0:57:10Very well directed, but Russell scooped it up in one arm.

0:57:16 > 0:57:21It is certainly pacey stuff so far. Absolutely. It's interesting, really

0:57:21 > 0:57:26intriguing. Two different styles on show already. Scotland have passed

0:57:26 > 0:57:31the ball off them and kept it moving. England have gone almost

0:57:31 > 0:57:34more direct. That means England having to put more players into the

0:57:34 > 0:57:37breakdown to win the ball. Scotland have played on the edge but they've

0:57:37 > 0:57:42saw little in the game at the moment it almost looks as if the defence is

0:57:42 > 0:57:45trying to force a mistake and whoever is going to be quickest will

0:57:45 > 0:57:53get a foothold in this game.

0:57:59 > 0:58:10REFEREE:Stay, stay, stay.England making a bit of ground again.

0:58:17 > 0:58:22Grant Gilchrist being told to get out of there. Can't escape notice

0:58:22 > 0:58:30with a red scrum cap.

0:58:34 > 0:58:42An opportunity now for England.

0:58:51 > 0:59:01Penalty to England.The first time England managed to get some

0:59:01 > 0:59:09momentum, they forced a penalty.

0:59:14 > 0:59:22England want to play a steady game, and this is Jonny May's pace. We

0:59:22 > 0:59:27were talking earlier about pace. Certainly the defensive line is back

0:59:27 > 0:59:31about ten metres.That's the first time England have strong two or

0:59:31 > 0:59:35three passes together to get to the edge. Hamish Watson penalised there.

0:59:35 > 0:59:43Owen Farrell and Hamish Watson have had one or two coming togethers.

0:59:43 > 0:59:52Tenacious, hard players. Kicking at 60% in this year's tournaments,

0:59:52 > 0:59:57which is a little below his usual high standard but he kicks from

0:59:57 > 0:59:59Robert wide out.

1:00:13 > 1:00:21Of course he can. Things level up at Murrayfield. He is enjoying it.

1:00:21 > 1:00:27Wagging his tail! He looked a bit sad, I think he was a Scotland fan!

1:00:27 > 1:00:36What a match so far. Three points apiece, but barely pause for breath.

1:00:43 > 1:00:45Nathan Hughes looked hesitant for a moment.

1:00:57 > 1:01:02Danny Care centred out, did not buy too much ground.Two or three

1:01:02 > 1:01:05breakdowns snout that Nigel Owens has asked the ball to be moved very

1:01:05 > 1:01:16quickly. -- two or three breakdowns, now.

1:01:34 > 1:01:43He is through! Huw Jones had the try amid the chaos. Huw Jones scoring

1:01:43 > 1:01:49once more for Scotland, the first try of the game.England in panic

1:01:49 > 1:01:57mode after that penalty. If you have given away a penalty already, you

1:01:57 > 1:02:04have dropped it straightaway. Scotland managed to get there on the

1:02:04 > 1:02:09back foot.Nigel Owens makes a tackle on Peter Horne, but that the

1:02:09 > 1:02:12pressure Finn Russell is under from Owen Farrell. He's still got the

1:02:12 > 1:02:18grubber kick away. A ninth try for Huw Jones for Scotland. It was a

1:02:18 > 1:02:21little bit scruffy. A penalty advantage. Sometimes in these

1:02:21 > 1:02:30Calcutta Cup matches, it almost typifies them, the frantic nature.

1:02:30 > 1:02:35Good start for Scotland.That is the first try for Scotland against

1:02:35 > 1:02:42England at Murrayfield Saint Simon Danieli in 2004. -- since Simon

1:02:42 > 1:02:47Danieli. Huw Jones cannot stop scoring for Scotland at the moment.

1:02:47 > 1:02:52Seven tries in his last eight internationals. England try to come

1:02:52 > 1:02:58again once more.

1:03:11 > 1:03:18Laidlaw got the kick away, but penalty to England. It is clear from

1:03:18 > 1:03:28Nigel Owens.That really is a dull penalty. You have just scored, seven

1:03:28 > 1:03:35points, it will probably give three points back, totally unnecessary.

1:03:35 > 1:03:39Any player in front of the ball can stand there. Looking at Gilchrist,

1:03:39 > 1:03:44he does not move very far. Maybe Simon Berghan popped up a bit on his

1:03:44 > 1:03:52side. It is a harsh penalty.The referee was starting to look at

1:03:52 > 1:03:56this, they would know it was a deliberate defensive ploy. It was an

1:03:56 > 1:04:02obstruction point.We did not see it pulled up that often last year. This

1:04:02 > 1:04:10time it was. Any movement in front of the ball, you alert the referee.

1:04:10 > 1:04:17Once more, over to Owen Farrell.

1:04:26 > 1:04:34Similar kick, similar results. England's move on to six points. --

1:04:34 > 1:04:41England's move on. A grubber kick under huge pressure.

1:04:41 > 1:04:45Almost tried to disguise it with his eyes. There was a fortunate bounce

1:04:45 > 1:04:50from the advantage. A good score for Scotland. Then in

1:04:50 > 1:04:53Beits are doing the fielding at the restarts. Hughes was able to give it

1:04:53 > 1:04:59to Ford.

1:05:00 > 1:05:09Play on, says the referee. The crowd gasped, grown and jeer.

1:05:09 > 1:05:17gasped, grown and jeer. -- gasp, groan and jeer. What a wonderful

1:05:17 > 1:05:21kick from Finn Russell. If you were to judge it on the opening 18

1:05:21 > 1:05:25minutes, it is a different Finn Russell today.

1:05:25 > 1:05:29He is a class player. Every game he plays, hopefully he learns

1:05:29 > 1:05:35something. A hard kick on the move. A lot of

1:05:35 > 1:05:37space to target. Itoje was committed to that.

1:05:45 > 1:05:51Scotland had the opportunity to counterattack.

1:05:51 > 1:05:59Taken down by Courtney Lawes for England.

1:06:10 > 1:06:18Advantage to England. Kicked away, but they have a penalty.

1:06:18 > 1:06:23Grant Gilchrist penalised.

1:06:23 > 1:06:34REFEREE: Number four, taking the maul down.

1:06:35 > 1:06:41COMMENTATOR: The mauls have not been aggressive.England's mauls have

1:06:41 > 1:06:47been poor. They have not been set up or driven properly. The one Scotland

1:06:47 > 1:06:50got together was driven very well and quickly and resulted in the

1:06:50 > 1:06:52first try.

1:07:10 > 1:07:19Danny Care said behind the runners to Lawes. -- said behind.

1:07:19 > 1:07:25Danny Care complaining, the ball was deep and taken hired by Farrell.

1:07:57 > 1:08:05Seem more putting pace on it. Entered by May.

1:08:20 > 1:08:27Eredivisie flung it out, carried by Berkeley past Itoje.

1:08:28 > 1:08:36Berkeley past Itoje. -- Horne flung it out.

1:08:36 > 1:08:46it out.A good tackle by Farrell. Took the ball quickly.

1:08:49 > 1:08:58Russell flung about are to Huw Jones, who keeps it alive.

1:08:58 > 1:09:04Watson did so well. Great power from the winger. Berkeley eventually

1:09:04 > 1:09:12scrums him. Nigel Owens says this is fine. Scotland may have turned this

1:09:12 > 1:09:14over. Hartley clinging on for dear life.

1:09:14 > 1:09:23REFEREE:Scrum down. A great whack from Huw Jones down

1:09:23 > 1:09:30the wing.England are kicking away a lot of possession and inviting

1:09:30 > 1:09:38Scotland to counterattack. Look how hard he works to fight and

1:09:38 > 1:09:46buy himself an extra second to protect the ball.

1:09:46 > 1:09:53On occasion I think players put in the outer passes too early, but I

1:09:53 > 1:09:58think that was the right choice at the right time.It was Jonny May

1:09:58 > 1:10:01down the left-hand side, almost hands in the air, but a really good

1:10:01 > 1:10:06decision. This is a loose kick from Danny

1:10:06 > 1:10:13Care, this is a pass, almost drags in Jonny May.

1:10:15 > 1:10:21Watson does really well here. A long bit of treatment to Dan Cole,

1:10:21 > 1:10:28but he comes back now and is ready to resume again.

1:10:29 > 1:10:38Finn Russell has been impressive so far. Scotland with a good few metres

1:10:38 > 1:10:43more than England. There have not been too many scrums so far. Mako

1:10:43 > 1:10:54Vunipola down on one knee as well. Fairly even on that data.

1:10:54 > 1:10:59The first real pause we have had in this game. You talk about the

1:10:59 > 1:11:04fitness of the sites, Scotland pride themselves on being as fit as any

1:11:04 > 1:11:08but Eddie Jones talked about England being 40% fitter than two years ago.

1:11:08 > 1:11:12Let's see if that tells in the final quarter.

1:11:23 > 1:11:25England with a mighty weight advantage.

1:11:31 > 1:11:40REFEREE:Crouch, bind, set! Scotland look to secure the ball as

1:11:40 > 1:11:45quickly as possible.

1:11:47 > 1:11:59Scotland has not ball. -- Scotland's ball.

1:12:01 > 1:12:09Coming back for the Scotland scrum.

1:12:09 > 1:12:17I think Huw Jones had almost lost it before that.The referee, I suppose

1:12:17 > 1:12:25you get one shot.It was interesting how he gave the knock-on. Set piece

1:12:25 > 1:12:28play from a reasonably stable scrum, just targeting Batchelder by George

1:12:28 > 1:12:39Ford. -- targeting that shoulder by George Ford.Scotland get away with

1:12:39 > 1:12:45one. An opportunity for a very similar position further infield.

1:12:45 > 1:12:46Seymour is hiding behind Finn Russell.

1:12:57 > 1:13:01One area that Scotland were possibly predicted to struggle and was the

1:13:01 > 1:13:06front row, given the number of absenteeism and injuries that they

1:13:06 > 1:13:10have had. But they did Jim endlessly well against France -- they did

1:13:10 > 1:13:12tremendously well.

1:13:19 > 1:13:25Simon Berghan, six foot four, but he likes to get so low. He fears being

1:13:25 > 1:13:34upended unbuckled. Very difficult to keep the scrum up, then.

1:14:07 > 1:14:10Simon Berghan is the heaviest man in the Scotland side. He did not quite

1:14:10 > 1:14:18know where he was, but he set it back.

1:14:18 > 1:14:28Scotland edging closer. Hartley keeps Berghan Iturbe.

1:14:28 > 1:14:32keeps Berghan Iturbe. -- keeps Berghan at bay.

1:14:32 > 1:14:36A little knock-on, England's applause for their defence working

1:14:36 > 1:14:42this time. They have the scrum.It was a change of tactic, Scotland

1:14:42 > 1:14:46taking a direct route. Forcing the knock-on. Nathan Hughes has been

1:14:46 > 1:14:54really busy in his first game back. It was a more direct route, closer

1:14:54 > 1:15:02to the breakdown. England can cope with that reasonably well, I think.

1:15:02 > 1:15:05426 minutes, not too many handling errors from either side. Conditions,

1:15:05 > 1:15:11though. Just one thing from the two scrum

1:15:11 > 1:15:20attacks, they have attacked close to the scrum. The second one was back

1:15:20 > 1:15:24inside. I wonder if they think Robshaw and Lawes RA little bit slow

1:15:24 > 1:15:30off the back of the scrum?They want to drag players in so that the width

1:15:30 > 1:15:39is there. If England have two people dragged in, there are fewer numbers

1:15:39 > 1:15:47to do that.Keep away from the midfield blitz.Absolutely.

1:16:02 > 1:16:07If you are just joining us, nearing the half-hour mark, Scotland with

1:16:07 > 1:16:10the one try of the game through Huw Jones.

1:16:10 > 1:16:17Penalty to England this time.

1:16:18 > 1:16:23REFEREE:All of you, far back, hinge on and down.

1:16:23 > 1:16:30That means bending from the waist and simply collapsing backwards.

1:16:30 > 1:16:33It gives Owen Farrell the chance to clear for touch, and England's

1:16:33 > 1:16:42line-out.When you get your feet level like that, as soon as you go

1:16:42 > 1:16:51below parallel there is no way you can hold a scrum up.

1:17:01 > 1:17:09Looking for the maul to creep forward again.

1:17:12 > 1:17:19Mike Brown gave it to Watson. A tough pass for a winner to try to

1:17:19 > 1:17:25cope with.

1:17:25 > 1:17:28cope with. -- a Wenger.I think you could say it is not the best pass in

1:17:28 > 1:17:34the world.England have kicked quite often. There is the space to attack.

1:17:34 > 1:17:43Whether it was dislodged by Peter Horne's tackle, it was a poor pass.

1:17:45 > 1:17:56England should keep the ball in hand.

1:18:11 > 1:18:17Cries of upside around the pitch. Vunipola try to feed it to Hartley.

1:18:17 > 1:18:22-- cries of offside around the pitch.

1:18:22 > 1:18:26Finn Russell in for the interception. It could have caught

1:18:26 > 1:18:31the ball, says Nigel Owens. Not a deliberate knock-on. England will

1:18:31 > 1:18:41have the scrum. Russell read it well. But he would

1:18:41 > 1:18:52be frustrated he did not take that. The modern idiom is that if you dug

1:18:52 > 1:19:01it up, you have a chance to catch it. From an England point of view,

1:19:01 > 1:19:07this is the first chance they have had in almost the whole half so far.

1:19:07 > 1:19:16The rest of the game has been played at pace. From an England point of

1:19:16 > 1:19:20view, before half-time they will want to have a period of ten minutes

1:19:20 > 1:19:27where they play coherent rugby. All of the players have been

1:19:27 > 1:19:29burrowing away in the ear of Nigel Owens.

1:19:32 > 1:19:40Ready to scrum again. REFEREE:Lines, sets...

1:19:40 > 1:19:53They all need to be told to shut up. A solid scrum this time. Kerr feeds

1:19:53 > 1:19:58his line -- Care feeds his line and Ford does well. Penalty to Scotland

1:19:58 > 1:20:06as John Barclay gets applause from his team-mates.Great work by

1:20:06 > 1:20:15Berkeley.

1:20:21 > 1:20:27Born in all sorts of trouble, trying to set it back for Scotland. -- pawn

1:20:27 > 1:20:35in all sorts of trouble.

1:20:36 > 1:20:38in all sorts of trouble. -- Horne. Huw Jones goes himself. Jonny May

1:20:38 > 1:20:44gets to him, Scotland Sydney into the England 22. Ryan Wilson feeds

1:20:44 > 1:20:52on. Barclays looks for support. McInally through the middle. Farrell

1:20:52 > 1:21:00gets him down. Scotland within metres of the line. Maitland for the

1:21:00 > 1:21:06try. One end of the pitch to the other. Maitland scores for Scotland.

1:21:06 > 1:21:15What a try. Where did it come from?

1:21:19 > 1:21:24So nearly an interception. They celebrate. Nigel Owens is just

1:21:24 > 1:21:26asking a question.

1:21:38 > 1:21:44So any reason why they cannot award the try. So much to talk about.

1:21:44 > 1:21:49Before the ball got to Huw Jones was so nearly intercepted by England. We

1:21:49 > 1:21:56look to the screens. Any reason a try cannot be awarded? TMO Simon

1:21:56 > 1:22:07McDowell. Watson coming in, Maitland...A try without a doubt.

1:22:14 > 1:22:18They have run the better lines, made the better decisions. They fully

1:22:18 > 1:22:24deserved the lead.Playing such a quality team, you have to take a

1:22:24 > 1:22:29risk. A long pass, teasing the defence. You Jones does wonderfully

1:22:29 > 1:22:42well. -- Huw Jones. The quick ball is moved out, Russell's floating

1:22:42 > 1:22:50pass over the top. That is an outstanding try for Scotland.

1:22:51 > 1:22:56The sounds you can hear our Finn Russell's critics falling silent

1:22:56 > 1:23:02around the country. Maitland and Jones, the two who scored against

1:23:02 > 1:23:04France, have scored. A difficult conversion for Greig Laidlaw.

1:23:19 > 1:23:23Trying to bring it down, and it nearly does, but falls short in any

1:23:23 > 1:23:31case. Scotland's lead is nine points.

1:23:31 > 1:23:36points.Maitland has to keep his width to get on the outside.

1:23:36 > 1:23:46Scotland playing some attacking rugby, getting their reward.

1:23:46 > 1:23:58Again, Ryan Wilson fields on top of Jonny May.

1:24:01 > 1:24:10Laidlaw gets the kick away. Brown comes forward.

1:24:25 > 1:24:34Deep to Mike Brown. Some muscle up to the ten metre line.

1:24:55 > 1:25:03England are making good ground coming here.

1:25:04 > 1:25:14It urged charging headlong into the 22.

1:25:14 > 1:25:1722. -- Itoje charging. Penalty to Scotland.

1:25:26 > 1:25:33Nigel Owens penalising England. They will usually give a metre around the

1:25:33 > 1:25:39ball for you to take a mannered. Anything outside that, the referees

1:25:39 > 1:25:46deem it to be excessive -- a metre around the ball to take a man out.

1:25:46 > 1:25:54They are being stricter beyond the ball.

1:25:57 > 1:26:02A frustrating penalty from England. It is a good phase, nine phases of

1:26:02 > 1:26:10play. It is frustrating for the coaches.Taken down by Wilson.

1:26:10 > 1:26:18Five minutes remain in this first half.

1:26:18 > 1:26:20Nothing doing.

1:26:30 > 1:26:36I said it earlier, these moles seem quite passive. It is almost as if

1:26:36 > 1:26:42there is a risk they will have to step away. There is not the

1:26:42 > 1:26:51dynamism. -- I said it earlier, these mauls seem quite passive.

1:26:51 > 1:26:54these mauls seem quite passive.The efforts have not been coordinated.

1:26:54 > 1:26:58They are half-hearted. You set yourself out to do that, you had to

1:26:58 > 1:27:03commit to do it properly.It has been good defence by England to not

1:27:03 > 1:27:15let Scotland get down.A real opportunity now. Four minutes to go.

1:27:15 > 1:27:17England with the attacking position.

1:27:23 > 1:27:32England try and get the secondary screens. It is not going anywhere.

1:27:35 > 1:27:39Just an injection of pace from a standing start, almost.

1:27:46 > 1:27:58Scotland get the penalty again. Hughes and Ryan

1:27:58 > 1:28:03Hughes and Ryan Wilson too untoward things to each other. -- to untoward

1:28:03 > 1:28:03things.

1:28:10 > 1:28:17It is not effective enough.

1:28:20 > 1:28:26REFEREE:What is the problem? If you are not sure, let's get on with the

1:28:26 > 1:28:33game, OK? Well, they knew what it was

1:28:33 > 1:28:40beforehand. Oh, now, then. Contact with the eye area, that is. Not a

1:28:40 > 1:28:46gouge, but...

1:28:47 > 1:28:58Barclays has done well. -- Barclay has.

1:29:02 > 1:29:13has.Not accurate enough, not enough men in.

1:29:15 > 1:29:24Huw Jones through again. Scuttling into the 22. What a score! Huw

1:29:24 > 1:29:30Jones, he has done it again. Scotland have three tries, and it is

1:29:30 > 1:29:36that man once more.

1:29:36 > 1:29:38that man once more.I have been at Murrayfield a long time ago when

1:29:38 > 1:29:46this tidal wave of emotion and sentiments, great play by Scotland.

1:29:46 > 1:29:50It turns against you, it is a horrible feeling. England are

1:29:50 > 1:29:57staring down the barrel of defeat. He cannot get a space between Hughes

1:29:57 > 1:30:02and Farrell.

1:30:04 > 1:30:09and Farrell.It is not only the line, it is the speed and the power.

1:30:09 > 1:30:13Running into space. So many players run into the man, it is running into

1:30:13 > 1:30:14space

1:30:14 > 1:30:19run into the man, it is running into space. He was over 22 and still had

1:30:19 > 1:30:24a lot to do with two defenders coming over. The desire, the drive,

1:30:24 > 1:30:29the leg strength. Laidlaw has the extras. Just over a minute remaining

1:30:29 > 1:30:35in the first half at Murrayfield, Scotland 22, six.I think Hughes

1:30:35 > 1:30:43breaks it inside. At the last minute he thinks he will just go right down

1:30:43 > 1:30:47the middle.

1:30:47 > 1:30:51What a player he has become for Scotland and what a game he's having

1:30:51 > 1:30:56here. One minute remaining and the restart so important for England to

1:30:56 > 1:31:00try and get something before half-time. A little bit shorter,

1:31:00 > 1:31:06this restart, but Wilson again takes and Scotland may be happy to head to

1:31:06 > 1:31:11the shareds.

1:31:11 > 1:31:18the shareds. -- sheds.

1:31:19 > 1:31:31The clock ticks toward 40. The fans of Scotland looking to carry it in a

1:31:31 > 1:31:33couple of phases.

1:31:47 > 1:31:52Laidlaw taking all the time in the world. Use it, says Nigel Owens. As

1:31:52 > 1:31:59good a half from Scotland as you'll see. England being tested as never

1:31:59 > 1:32:03before in this championship. What a half at Murrayfield and Scotland,

1:32:03 > 1:32:17from 3-0 22-6.They're not flopping, Scotland.

1:32:19 > 1:32:20from 3-0 22-6.They're not flopping, Scotland. England have got a lot of

1:32:20 > 1:32:24problems at half-time.It's half-time at Murrayfield.

1:32:27 > 1:32:32STUDIO: This is the first half-time team talk that Eddie Jones has

1:32:32 > 1:32:32STUDIO: This is the first half-time team talk that Eddie Jones has had

1:32:32 > 1:32:36to give in a situation like this. It'll be a fascinating test of his

1:32:36 > 1:32:45coaching skills. Huw Jones is the Harry Kane of rugby. The blistering

1:32:45 > 1:32:49acceleration that took in between Brown and Watson to give Scotland a

1:32:49 > 1:32:54very convincing lead. Are you sensing 50 shades of 1990?What a 40

1:32:54 > 1:32:54minutes

1:32:54 > 1:32:55sensing 50 shades of 1990?What a 40 minutes by Scotland!

1:32:55 > 1:32:59sensing 50 shades of 1990?What a 40 minutes by Scotland! They set the

1:32:59 > 1:33:04foundation, they came out, played really well. Real intent, real

1:33:04 > 1:33:08ambition, but accuracy in that first five or ten minutes. Look at the

1:33:08 > 1:33:15metres made by Scotland. 327. That has been as good a 40 minutes as an

1:33:15 > 1:33:17Scotland dabbles in the 6 Nations and a

1:33:17 > 1:33:18Scotland dabbles in the 6 Nations and a long-time.Martin, does there

1:33:18 > 1:33:22seem a palpable difference in intensity and in tension between the

1:33:22 > 1:33:30two sides, and how?Absolutely and I said at the start if you take this

1:33:30 > 1:33:32game for granted and don't wrestle the initiative, you're in trouble.

1:33:32 > 1:33:37Scotland attacked with a variation, they went wide, they wrestled the

1:33:37 > 1:33:42initiative and got what they got. England had the ball, tried a couple

1:33:42 > 1:33:51of balls and didn't get anywhere. England like to play at their own

1:33:51 > 1:33:57pace, dominate position. Give it to the back three. Scotland have forced

1:33:57 > 1:34:00them to play quicker when they've got the ball and they're not liking

1:34:00 > 1:34:06it. When they do get the odd bit of momentum, Berkeley's coming in and

1:34:06 > 1:34:10winning the ball.A big question you ask is how physical and how

1:34:10 > 1:34:13aggressive can you be while maintaining your discipline and

1:34:13 > 1:34:17being accurate? That's what Scotland are doing and they didn't do at the

1:34:17 > 1:34:21start of the championship. They are incredibly physical, playing with

1:34:21 > 1:34:24real intent, but they're really accurate. They're playing rugby, not

1:34:24 > 1:34:27just putting up the jumper and taking in without physically,

1:34:27 > 1:34:31they're playing fantastic rugby. When you talk about intensity, I

1:34:31 > 1:34:34don't think we've ever seen is that if we have, very rarely. A scuffle

1:34:34 > 1:34:35between the players before

1:34:35 > 1:34:36if we have, very rarely. A scuffle between the players before the match

1:34:36 > 1:34:41began. We've highlighted here... I think Owen Farrell is in the middle

1:34:41 > 1:34:47of this and perhaps Ryan Wilson. I don't know. Where is Pep Guardiola?

1:34:47 > 1:34:52England's highlights so far!We did actually consult the man who knows

1:34:52 > 1:34:54all about these things, Wayne Barnes, can you be

1:34:54 > 1:34:57all about these things, Wayne Barnes, can you be sent off or doing

1:34:57 > 1:35:01something before a game begins? You can't because the referee is only

1:35:01 > 1:35:05the official once the game kicks off. You can do almost anything you

1:35:05 > 1:35:13want before the game starts!If I'd known!So, Huw Jones first of all. I

1:35:13 > 1:35:16think five matches in a row he's scored a try in and he's just on

1:35:16 > 1:35:25fire stop --you look at the ball that Scotland had here. They get

1:35:25 > 1:35:26going forward and they released the

1:35:26 > 1:35:26that Scotland had here. They get going forward and they released the

1:35:26 > 1:35:31ball early. They don't wait until they lose momentum and England

1:35:31 > 1:35:35regrouped to go slow. They go early and gives them the front foot.You

1:35:35 > 1:35:41think England have it fairly well Marshall. But a ricochet. And we

1:35:41 > 1:35:44talked about pace at the beginning of the game. If Huw Jones doesn't

1:35:44 > 1:35:48have the pace to get that, it's no try and England will scramble and

1:35:48 > 1:35:54cover. Because it is pace, it scares the difference, originally --

1:35:54 > 1:35:58ricochet.That other games played and if it gets you away, it might

1:35:58 > 1:36:03bounce. A beautiful way to kick by Finn Russell. He bought a ticket and

1:36:03 > 1:36:08Huw Jones went and got it and scored.Its kind in penalty

1:36:08 > 1:36:18advantage in that situation. It can be a 50-50 shot.Talk about 50-50

1:36:18 > 1:36:21shot, this path that leads to scoring the corner, this is kind of

1:36:21 > 1:36:27a 30-70 past, isn't it?One that hasn't been going well for Finn

1:36:27 > 1:36:33Russell and the first two games but this time...Even in the last two

1:36:33 > 1:36:38games, I think he's been brilliant in this first 40 minutes. He was

1:36:38 > 1:36:41wired into what Jeremy said before the game. It looked from where I was

1:36:41 > 1:36:44sitting that that was a dubious past but actually it sailed over Joseph.

1:36:44 > 1:36:51It was a very good at and Huw Jones, England scrambled the defence pretty

1:36:51 > 1:36:59well and Scotland didn't panic. A penalty advantage, and Stuart

1:36:59 > 1:37:06McAnally has had a great 40 minutes. Good decisions, good decision. He

1:37:06 > 1:37:12finishes it with another great pass. How much has been written and said

1:37:12 > 1:37:16about him and he's actually gone further. He's playing more rugby,

1:37:16 > 1:37:20fleeing from deeper again. Fair play to him.He's playing how Eddie Jones

1:37:20 > 1:37:28said he would top yellow Gregor Townsend said he would play and not

1:37:28 > 1:37:34going into his shell. He's had a tremendous 40 minutes. If we show

1:37:34 > 1:37:37the second Huw Jones try, it's a fantastic acceleration. The kind of

1:37:37 > 1:37:43try that you said you would have scored.Huw Jones got a brilliant

1:37:43 > 1:37:48line against France and this is similar but in midfield. With pace,

1:37:48 > 1:37:52again. Hugh John Still macro has seen this before the ball came. He

1:37:52 > 1:37:58is already cutting his line as they are bringing in that ball. The

1:37:58 > 1:38:01defence has gone, where's it going? I think it's Nathan Hughes there.

1:38:01 > 1:38:07He's just coming back, hasn't reacted quickly enough with Farrell

1:38:07 > 1:38:15and the combination hasn't worked. The momentum took him over.That

1:38:15 > 1:38:21line-out came off John Barclay and if you remember against Wales he

1:38:21 > 1:38:24gave away two penalties poaching just after half-time. Getting that

1:38:24 > 1:38:29line-out, that field position from that penalty was massive.Nathan

1:38:29 > 1:38:33Hughes just got drawn in, his eyes got drawn in. Back in that position,

1:38:33 > 1:38:38he scanned a bit better, not being dragged in. That gave the space the

1:38:38 > 1:38:41Huw Jones but the pace and the power, it was a beautiful

1:38:41 > 1:38:46combination. My goodness, does that guy know where the try line is.

1:38:46 > 1:38:50Would you criticise Brown or Watson? You were saying he should have made

1:38:50 > 1:38:54the tackle because it was coming straight on, Mike, but Anthony

1:38:54 > 1:39:00should have gone lower.I can as to this question because no one else

1:39:00 > 1:39:03has had the experience. We've been an international coach. We've been

1:39:03 > 1:39:07in this situation and had to give half-time talks, what does Eddie

1:39:07 > 1:39:12Jones say?He's got the easier talk because you been so bad, been

1:39:12 > 1:39:16outplayed, they've been more urgent and aggressive than you. It's an

1:39:16 > 1:39:21easy solution, you have to go out and get into this game otherwise

1:39:21 > 1:39:23nothing tactically is important. If you're going to get beaten like

1:39:23 > 1:39:27they're getting beaten. For me, Gregor has in a way that the more

1:39:27 > 1:39:32difficult talk. What are they going to do with this main points at

1:39:32 > 1:39:35half-time? There wouldn't have had that conversation. They have to come

1:39:35 > 1:39:38out and keep doing what they're doing which isn't always as easy as

1:39:38 > 1:39:41it sounds. You'll say to England, you're getting smashed in every

1:39:41 > 1:39:46possible way. They've got the initiative, they're more physical,

1:39:46 > 1:39:48faster, everything. You have to book your ideas up right now or it's

1:39:48 > 1:39:54going to be very uncomfortable.Does Finn Russell become more

1:39:54 > 1:40:00conservative in the second half or keep going?He wants to play as Finn

1:40:00 > 1:40:02Russell has played. I wrote him off before the game and thought he'd get

1:40:02 > 1:40:08worse but he's just been unbelievable. To that, you gave two

1:40:08 > 1:40:12give great credit because this is a massive pressure environment,

1:40:12 > 1:40:15international rugby. He knew if he had one more poor game, he was

1:40:15 > 1:40:18unlikely to be picked again. Gregor has had confidence in him and he's

1:40:18 > 1:40:23gone out and proven its.He's not been perfect. He passed to Stuart

1:40:23 > 1:40:28Hogg. Whoever does play the perfect game, but he's shown the resilience

1:40:28 > 1:40:32and mental strength to go back to his basics of kicking. This is the

1:40:32 > 1:40:35attacking and he's always got that. You always want to show it. What

1:40:35 > 1:40:41he's done better than two weeks ago is kicking in general, it's been a

1:40:41 > 1:40:44lot better, as has his game management. He always was to get on

1:40:44 > 1:40:48the ball.Some of his passes that have gone awry in that first game

1:40:48 > 1:40:52against Wales, they did. This game, they are sticking and they're

1:40:52 > 1:40:55hitting the mark. The players are reading what he's trying to do and

1:40:55 > 1:40:59he's anticipating that and being in the right place.I think Greig

1:40:59 > 1:41:04Laidlaw can be the guy who puts the sensible hat on and play the

1:41:04 > 1:41:08percentages are bit for Scotland in the second half. Finn Russell can

1:41:08 > 1:41:16keep playing.We talk about intensity. We have a counter ruck

1:41:16 > 1:41:20from the Scottish back. Around the breakdown, there's been so much more

1:41:20 > 1:41:25venom about Scotland and England.We thought it was a big moment. Anthony

1:41:25 > 1:41:31does really well. But England just knock off at the ruck. They have

1:41:31 > 1:41:36their heads turned back. The number four turns his head back and

1:41:36 > 1:41:40Scotland pile in and gets to turnover. No scorer comes from this

1:41:40 > 1:41:44but it is a really big psychological moment.It almost sums up the game.

1:41:44 > 1:41:50Watson's done really well and England say, we've won this ball.

1:41:50 > 1:41:53Then smash, you're back on your backside and ball is turned over.

1:41:53 > 1:41:59You can't do that.Joe Launchbury is a fantastic player. He's looking for

1:41:59 > 1:42:03tricks, looking for anything that comes at him. It's just a bit of a

1:42:03 > 1:42:08lack of intent in England's players. To get that intense back to the

1:42:08 > 1:42:10England side, is that a change of personnel earlier than planned?I

1:42:10 > 1:42:15think it's one of those where the forwards would come together now and

1:42:15 > 1:42:20you say, all right, we've have that before, it's been not great, it's

1:42:20 > 1:42:23been terrible. We're going to turn it around now. The first 15 minutes

1:42:23 > 1:42:27are vital for me. England squad burst, England scored second and

1:42:27 > 1:42:31suddenly everyone will get nervous in the stadium. If Scotland squad

1:42:31 > 1:42:38burst...England like to plot their way, whereas Scotland have that

1:42:38 > 1:42:45ability with Finn Russell to put the past in and away some unlike Hugh

1:42:45 > 1:42:49Hogg -- Huw Jones goes, Stuart Hogg. They have to change that. Unless

1:42:49 > 1:42:53they believe they can sport three tries just by playing the way they

1:42:53 > 1:42:58are at the moment which doesn't look possible.England do have good

1:42:58 > 1:43:05impact. Ben Te'o will bring big physical presence. Jamie George. I

1:43:05 > 1:43:09think England have a good bench. They can play, they can pick up the

1:43:09 > 1:43:12pace with the bench, certainly. Second-half a couple of moments

1:43:12 > 1:43:15away. Also this weekend, the third instalment of the women's

1:45:16 > 1:45:20Ireland narrowly beat Wales. The squad looks more emphatic than it

1:45:20 > 1:45:24actually was. Wales were going for a winning score in the last few

1:45:24 > 1:45:27moments and then this happened, which gave Ireland the bonus point

1:45:27 > 1:45:37try and also means their grandstand ambitions are still alive and well.

1:45:40 > 1:45:43Ireland and Scotland next time around. That promises to be a

1:45:43 > 1:45:47fascinating game. From the Scottish perspective, we must say as someone

1:45:47 > 1:45:51has been part of the Berdych at the BBC on radio and TV for half a

1:45:51 > 1:45:53century and also a former international himself, Ian

1:45:53 > 1:45:58Robertson. He has announced his retirement. His last commentary will

1:45:58 > 1:46:02be England against Australia on radio 5 Live in November. A special

1:46:02 > 1:46:07presentation for him. Ian has passed into the annals of commentating

1:46:07 > 1:46:13history for 35 seconds to go, Jonny Wilkinson dropped the cup glory! And

1:46:13 > 1:46:20incomparable figure and he will be sadly missed when he finally hangs

1:46:20 > 1:46:24up his microphone at the end of the year. England are out will stop what

1:46:24 > 1:46:28did Gregor Townsend say?That might be one of his easiest team talks

1:46:28 > 1:46:32ever. Just keep doing exactly as you are doing. There's not one aspect of

1:46:32 > 1:46:36the game you want to change. It wasn't perfect. I thought at times

1:46:36 > 1:46:39they got into the 22 and made a couple of mistakes but you would

1:46:39 > 1:46:44have thought they'd go into the 22 six up so exactly the same, go in

1:46:44 > 1:46:47there, make a statement and get the crowd on their feet and the second

1:46:47 > 1:46:52half.Martin, if England are to win, what has to happen?They have to be

1:46:52 > 1:46:57more urgent, more aggressive. And accurate, as well. You can't lose

1:46:57 > 1:47:00the battle once they've lost it all over the field and expect to do

1:47:00 > 1:47:05anything.It was an intriguing and a fascinating and compelling first 40

1:47:05 > 1:47:08minutes. When you look at the scoreboard, its 16 points to the

1:47:08 > 1:47:14good for Scotland. What will it be in another 40 minutes? Let's go to

1:47:14 > 1:47:21our commentary team. COMMENTATOR: Night falls and it only

1:47:21 > 1:47:25adds to the sense of occasion. Scotland try to secure their first

1:47:25 > 1:47:31win over the old enemy in ten years will stop Scotland have to try to

1:47:31 > 1:47:34maintain that momentum but this will be a different England, I'm sure, in

1:47:34 > 1:47:40this second half. Ryan Wilson fields again. Can England find that

1:47:40 > 1:47:46intensity that was lacking in the first half? And will Scotland adopt

1:47:46 > 1:47:51the same approach? Will they retreat a little bit to and more cautious

1:47:51 > 1:47:59game? Laidlaw clears.

1:48:00 > 1:48:06England looking for that quick start Martin Johnson was talking about at

1:48:06 > 1:48:15half-time. The first five minutes in the second half are so important.

1:48:16 > 1:48:27Down the blindside they go.

1:48:36 > 1:48:44England making ground now.

1:49:03 > 1:49:13Scotland play on. Play the game, Nigel Owens cries.

1:49:25 > 1:49:35Jonny May can't quite get there. Scotland scrabbling their defence.

1:49:37 > 1:49:41England are losing the battle on the floor at the moment. Scotland is

1:49:41 > 1:49:52still in the danger area, though, as McInally sets it back.

1:49:52 > 1:50:00A breather for Laidlaw.

1:50:05 > 1:50:14Laidlaw just get a kick away. England will take stock.A more

1:50:14 > 1:50:19intense start, the second half, by England than the whole of the first

1:50:19 > 1:50:22half, but yet again their accuracy at the breakdown is letting them

1:50:22 > 1:50:28down. Scotland are not necessarily out fighting them but technically

1:50:28 > 1:50:33are out doing them.The decision went to and when not to compete for

1:50:33 > 1:50:39the ball. We spoke about Finn Russell at half-time. His attack and

1:50:39 > 1:50:41defence of Jonny May was almost over the line.

1:50:44 > 1:50:52England come again at pace and there is the try for England. Under the

1:50:52 > 1:50:55post he goes and England have that lightning quick start to the second

1:50:55 > 1:51:03half.I did pose the question, let's see what England are made of. That

1:51:03 > 1:51:10is a good response to come out. Take the game to Scotland.You know all

1:51:10 > 1:51:15about this guy's response, Owen Farrell. A set piece move to come

1:51:15 > 1:51:19back on the short side. Grant Gilchrist gets a little bit narrow

1:51:19 > 1:51:24but just like Huw Jones in the first half, Owen Farrell runs at the

1:51:24 > 1:51:29space.Scotland should be disappointed. They gave two extra

1:51:29 > 1:51:34defenders.

1:51:35 > 1:51:37defenders.He runs it so well, drives that steam forward, Owen

1:51:37 > 1:51:42Farrell. A set piece move coming back down the short side and the

1:51:42 > 1:51:49first point of the second half goes to England.A very different feel as

1:51:49 > 1:51:57Scotland tried to regain the memento of the first half.

1:51:57 > 1:52:08England will have some confidence seeping back into them now.

1:52:31 > 1:52:45Wilson takes the hit from Watson as Lawes creeps over.

1:52:58 > 1:53:05Hogg judged it well and it bounced into touch. His last kick was maybe

1:53:05 > 1:53:13not as well measured but he's found it here.

1:53:14 > 1:53:20it here.They've just conceded a try, the right tactical decision to

1:53:20 > 1:53:24make.It interesting here because Scotland wanting to play the game at

1:53:24 > 1:53:27tempo and pace and get going and includes taking a moment, as they

1:53:27 > 1:53:32should, to drag to play a different type of game. Beautifully judged

1:53:32 > 1:53:43kick from Hogg. England's line-out.

1:53:43 > 1:53:52Safely taken and Scotland deciding not to engage at all.

1:54:11 > 1:54:19Oh, interception! Butt, but, but... Says Nigel Owens. The southern side

1:54:19 > 1:54:27of the ground celebrates. Penalty to Scotland.

1:54:27 > 1:54:37REFEREE:Too slow, slow ball.Yeller macro I'd like to see that again. If

1:54:37 > 1:54:49anything it was not clear, but he's off his feet.

1:54:55 > 1:55:03Nigel Owens didn't call it at the time.

1:55:03 > 1:55:13time.That's a huge decision.He was off his feet if he stays up, not a

1:55:13 > 1:55:27problem.19.5 stone. Dylan Hartley pleads the case for England. He felt

1:55:27 > 1:55:33it was a fair contest. It's close, very close call and a chance for

1:55:33 > 1:55:40Scotland and for Stuart Hogg from distance.

1:55:40 > 1:55:47distance.Skewed to the right. Just beyond the range of Greig Laidlaw,

1:55:47 > 1:55:53certainly beyond the threshold. Stuart Hogg coming in.He'll be

1:55:53 > 1:55:59disappointed with that, he does have the range. He was in a good

1:55:59 > 1:56:13position. We play on.A restart from the 22.

1:56:13 > 1:56:15the 22. England certainly with momentum at the start of the second

1:56:15 > 1:56:25half.

1:56:39 > 1:56:51Seymour did well to stay in field there. Still Scotland's ball.

1:57:06 > 1:57:08Scotland going deep here.

1:57:15 > 1:57:23Again, well measured kick, but England's line-out.Scotland are

1:57:23 > 1:57:28running out of space so rather than kick it long, are reasonably easy

1:57:28 > 1:57:37pick-up for England, they decided to drop it in and apply the pressure.

1:57:37 > 1:57:48Interesting conundrum for Scotland. Now the game gets a little tighter,

1:57:48 > 1:57:56what do they do? Do they continue to take those chances?

1:58:01 > 1:58:08Well judged indeed.

1:58:13 > 1:58:25Tommy Seymour crashes on. Advantage to Scotland.

1:58:29 > 1:58:35Up, he just had to give it! There with three blue shirts outside. They

1:58:35 > 1:58:40will come back for that penalty, but that was the overlap to end all

1:58:40 > 1:58:45overlaps. REFEREE:12 right, dancing in front

1:58:45 > 1:58:50of the kick.We don't know what consequences that might have at the

1:58:50 > 1:59:03end of the game. --advancing.It's a very simple pass. As soon as Mike

1:59:03 > 1:59:10Brown engages, he backs off and backs off and then the attacker

1:59:10 > 1:59:13still wants to try to commit the defender but Mike Brown plays a

1:59:13 > 1:59:18little game, backs off and catches Peter Horne out. It had to go

1:59:18 > 1:59:22earlier. REFEREE:He can advance once he

1:59:22 > 1:59:31passes the ball.Long chat between Nigel Owens and Owen Farrell. It's a

1:59:31 > 1:59:35penalty to Scotland about the halfway line. Horne knows that was

1:59:35 > 1:59:44costly. This is the penalty.

1:59:44 > 1:59:49I think it was from the kick because Owen Farrell was in front of the

1:59:49 > 1:59:57kicker and had to make an attempt to run back before he comes forward.

1:59:57 > 2:00:04England making replacements now.

2:00:04 > 2:00:08Scotland is going to have another pop. Is Laidlaw fancy giving his

2:00:08 > 2:00:14full attention?

2:00:14 > 2:00:24You just wonder how... How important that might be in the grand scheme of

2:00:24 > 2:00:33things.

2:00:33 > 2:00:40No shot at goal. Scotland going for the corner through Hogg. England

2:00:40 > 2:00:44trying to get their momentum going again in the second half. England

2:00:44 > 2:00:52have certainly been brighter after the break.

2:00:53 > 2:01:00Sam Underhill has to weight as Berkeley takes it down for Scotland.

2:01:00 > 2:01:11-- as Barclay takes it down. Scotland tried a little move which

2:01:11 > 2:01:17did not quite work, but it is still a fair ball on the floor and

2:01:17 > 2:01:19Scotland still have it.

2:01:24 > 2:01:32Robshaw was told to leave.

2:02:00 > 2:02:16Allens says use it. -- Owens says. Scotland going deep. They have

2:02:16 > 2:02:22possession but they are heading backwards.

2:02:22 > 2:02:29England's defence up so, so quickly. A wonderful tackle by Lawes. Chip

2:02:29 > 2:02:34and chase. Can Anthony Watson gather? Farrell again. Another try

2:02:34 > 2:02:43for England. Time out, says Nigel Owens.

2:02:43 > 2:02:50Owens.We will have to listen. REFEREE:I need to check if that was

2:02:50 > 2:02:59back, or was it knocked on in the tackle by white?

2:02:59 > 2:03:00tackle by white?We are going to review.

2:03:00 > 2:03:10REFEREE:Time-out.

2:03:10 > 2:03:17It wasn't Maro Itoje, it was Courtney Lawes. What a head. --

2:03:38 > 2:03:47wonderful try by Courtney Lawes.

2:03:47 > 2:03:50wonderful try by Courtney Lawes. -- cruel for England. Scotland are

2:03:50 > 2:03:54strong. That is a huge moment.A great shame for Courtney Lawes. I

2:03:54 > 2:04:02don't think he would have even known that he had touched him.It is the

2:04:02 > 2:04:05line speed, the aggressive tackling that we have come to see from

2:04:05 > 2:04:10England.

2:04:12 > 2:04:19England. Unfortunate for them. A big swing in the momentum.

2:04:19 > 2:04:21Those two moments, the Horne, Watson and others overlapping and that

2:04:21 > 2:04:29decision.I thought the Care interception was more contentious. I

2:04:29 > 2:04:33do not think that was contentious at all.

2:04:33 > 2:04:43Sam and to fill -- Sam Underhill is on. Robshaw going to aides,

2:04:43 > 2:04:46Underhill on the flag. Hughes is perhaps lacking a bit of match

2:04:46 > 2:04:49fitness after his long injury lay-off.

2:04:59 > 2:05:10Jonny Gray feeds onto Reid. England's defence flies up.

2:05:16 > 2:05:23Scotland are struggling to get over the gain line at the moment.

2:05:23 > 2:05:34That white line fires up, Barclay takes it in.

2:05:40 > 2:05:48Russell just delays that pass. Hug overlapping Maitland. Maitland taken

2:05:48 > 2:05:54down. A great tackle by Brown. People make Lent was in touch,

2:05:54 > 2:06:07Laidlaw scooped it up again. -- it looked like Maitland was in touch.

2:06:07 > 2:06:16For a moment it looked like he was beaten, it was a great tackle.Mike

2:06:16 > 2:06:19Brown, that is a responsibility as a full-back, you have to take the last

2:06:19 > 2:06:26man.

2:06:26 > 2:06:33man.A zipped distribution pass from Finn Russell. A full stretch by Mike

2:06:33 > 2:06:39Brown. Excellent tackle.It will be a line-out, changes have been made.

2:06:39 > 2:06:44Dylan Hartley has been replaced by Jamie George. There he is. And Jack

2:06:44 > 2:06:51Nowell is on the wing.

2:06:51 > 2:06:55Mike Brown is off, Anthony Watson has shifted to full-back and Jack

2:06:55 > 2:07:03Nowell on the wing. A vital final act, and Scotland are making changes

2:07:03 > 2:07:11as well. Changes at loosehead prop. Jamie Batty is coming on for Gordon

2:07:11 > 2:07:15Reid.

2:07:28 > 2:07:39-- Jamie Bhatti is coming on. Gilchrist is on as well.

2:07:39 > 2:07:48England look for a good exit through the long Good of Johnny Carr.

2:07:50 > 2:07:57the long Good of Johnny Carr. -- Danny Care.

2:08:08 > 2:08:18Penalty to England. The work done by Sam Underhill. The first real act

2:08:18 > 2:08:28for him.He does well. Not the quickest almost dextrous openside,

2:08:28 > 2:08:37but he gets over the ball well. Horne reacted well. Underhill just

2:08:37 > 2:08:43on, it is almost what Barclay has been doing. It is a change in shape.

2:08:43 > 2:08:55Nathan Hughes is a big ball-carrier. England's line-out worked well

2:08:55 > 2:09:01again. George was picked up and driven out

2:09:01 > 2:09:03by his opposite number, McInally.

2:09:16 > 2:09:24Bhatti throwing himself on that ball to secured for Scotland. Scotland

2:09:36 > 2:09:44England forward once more. Scotland have the line-out.It is a strange

2:09:44 > 2:09:52running support line. REFEREE:I was paying advantage from

2:09:52 > 2:09:58knock-on. You did interfere. Be careful.It is getting more tense

2:09:58 > 2:10:09in the second-half, a different of game. -- different type of game.

2:10:09 > 2:10:16Scotland have the advantage, taken earlier. A penalty coming for them.

2:10:16 > 2:10:28Leave it... Oh, friends.

2:10:28 > 2:10:37REFEREE:Do you have a number for me? Number four? Timing, early in

2:10:37 > 2:10:38the air. Joe Launchbury is being singled out

2:10:38 > 2:10:45for his timing of his challenge. Scotland with a chance through Hogg

2:10:45 > 2:10:47again to kick for touch.

2:10:52 > 2:10:56Heading towards the final quarter of this match, nine points in it. This

2:10:56 > 2:11:03is the infringement.

2:11:03 > 2:11:07is the infringement.I thought that was a soft penalty against Lawes and

2:11:07 > 2:11:13Scotland were fortunate to get it. A good opportunity for Scotland, as

2:11:13 > 2:11:17you say, to try to take control of this segment of the game. Deep in

2:11:17 > 2:11:22enemy territory.

2:11:59 > 2:12:02Close quarters stuff, now.

2:12:11 > 2:12:17Ford comes into play strong half. -- scrum-half. Scotland are trying to

2:12:17 > 2:12:25keep England back in their 22. REFEREE:Stay in, lads.

2:12:25 > 2:12:32Care sends them into touch.That was a wonderful pick-up from Danny Care.

2:12:32 > 2:12:40The English defence is strong in the second half. It is coming forward.

2:12:40 > 2:12:48No missed tackle. Forces a grubber kick through.

2:13:06 > 2:13:14We have not seen any magic from Hogg yet.

2:13:15 > 2:13:24Huw Jones and Watson. He tried to make his way around Underhill.

2:13:24 > 2:13:32England's defence is working well, it is up so quickly.Underhill has

2:13:32 > 2:13:38been a big difference?He has put the influence back towards England,

2:13:38 > 2:13:46whereas in the first half they were badly outgunned.

2:13:46 > 2:13:51A big substitution, Ali Price is coming on and it is Greig Laidlaw

2:13:51 > 2:13:57going off this time. Laidlaw's work is done. 18 minutes to go. Different

2:13:57 > 2:14:01types of scrum-half. Greig Laidlaw has been a crucial part of this

2:14:01 > 2:14:11match.

2:14:12 > 2:14:17Scotland have stretched this lead back of beyond a converted try, two

2:14:17 > 2:14:22converted tries, the game will be over. If England camp at three

2:14:22 > 2:14:32points on, five points on, it will start to get more tense.

2:14:34 > 2:14:38Laidlaw nothing but a tenth spectator for the next 18 minutes.

2:14:38 > 2:14:45England have good scrum options either side.

2:14:46 > 2:14:50Just beyond the grasp of May.

2:14:57 > 2:15:01It almost looks like England are trying to force. The executioners

2:15:01 > 2:15:08poor. They are trying to do a solid, good, straight scrum. But the

2:15:08 > 2:15:14execution of the pass and the catchers letting them down. -- and

2:15:14 > 2:15:24the catch is letting them down. Many, many different players on now.

2:15:24 > 2:15:31REFEREE:Just get a little bit more space, OK? Just keep the pressure

2:15:31 > 2:15:34off the space. Just a bit.Scotland with the lion's

2:15:34 > 2:15:39share of possession, territory is a bit more even.

2:15:45 > 2:16:01REFEREE:Crouch... Bind... Set. The watchful eye of Nigel Owens.

2:16:01 > 2:16:02A good scrum by Scotland.

2:16:20 > 2:16:28Advantage penalty to Scotland. A dull penalty, to use the

2:16:28 > 2:16:36description. A foot coming over.

2:16:38 > 2:16:39description. A foot coming over.It was specifically banned, as he

2:16:39 > 2:16:46knows.It is amazing how many of these dull penalties you have spoken

2:16:46 > 2:16:55about to come out under pressure. His foot should have been nowhere

2:16:55 > 2:17:00near on either account.Seymour getting treatment. Just when England

2:17:00 > 2:17:07were getting a bit of momentum again. Tommy Seymour, this is where

2:17:07 > 2:17:11the injury happened. He will be heading off.

2:17:11 > 2:17:21It will be a first cap for a big talent player coming on. There is

2:17:21 > 2:17:26Blair Kinghorn, the Edinburgh full-back, winger. Very quick, very

2:17:26 > 2:17:32big talent. What a game to come onto.Absolutely. Such a boost to

2:17:32 > 2:17:36see these young players come through. He is electric talent.

2:17:36 > 2:17:43Played a lot of his rugby as a stand-off. Coming on the Tommy

2:17:43 > 2:17:47Seymour. Blair Kinghorn will rely on the experience around him. He is

2:17:47 > 2:17:52very quick with the ball in hand and understands the game well.Ben

2:17:52 > 2:17:55Taylor was chatting during the week about he did not really know what

2:17:55 > 2:18:07this rivalry was or what it meant. -- Ben Te'o. George Ford is going

2:18:07 > 2:18:13off, there is the presence of Harry Williams.

2:18:16 > 2:18:19Williams.I am surprised Te'o is coming on for Ford. England had to

2:18:19 > 2:18:27create something from this game. Te'o is a direct route, I thought he

2:18:27 > 2:18:32would perhaps be a direct replacement for Jonathan Joseph. The

2:18:32 > 2:18:35creative talents of Ford and barrel together. I am quite surprised

2:18:35 > 2:18:46England made that change. -- of Fordham Farrell.

2:18:53 > 2:18:56Covers Lawes retreats under the command of Nigel Owens and Scotland

2:18:56 > 2:19:04make a bit of ground.

2:19:07 > 2:19:14Penalty to Scotland. Williams comes on, his first action is a no arms

2:19:14 > 2:19:22tackle, gives away a penalty. Bhatti remains down.

2:19:24 > 2:19:32Apologies for some of that. It does not look good on Jamie Bhatti. Oh,

2:19:32 > 2:19:44no, it is Underhill. Williams went low, it is Underhill.

2:19:44 > 2:19:50low, it is Underhill.No attempt to use the arms by Underhill. Williams

2:19:50 > 2:19:55did tackle properly, even though he was low.

2:19:55 > 2:20:00It is Underhill tacking his left elbow in towards his side, that is

2:20:00 > 2:20:07usually a tell-tale sign. He might have tried to target the ball.

2:20:07 > 2:20:14REFEREE:Lads, I am seeing a clear no one's tackle, a penalty and a

2:20:14 > 2:20:22yellow card.Nigel Owens is a gay penalty and yellow card.

2:20:22 > 2:20:24penalty and yellow card. -- Nigel Owens is saying penalty and yellow

2:20:24 > 2:20:33card.

2:20:33 > 2:20:36card. All the great work initially by Sam Underhill in this game, that

2:20:36 > 2:20:42could prove costly. England down to 14 men for the next ten minutes.

2:20:42 > 2:20:49Scotland with a penalty, very capable. Laidlaw is off, but Finn

2:20:49 > 2:20:57Russell will take a shot at goal.He has got his elbow towards his body.

2:20:57 > 2:21:01I think it is a fair decision. We cannot have players at risk of

2:21:01 > 2:21:08injury from shoulder charges. Sam Underhill has made a big impact, he

2:21:08 > 2:21:09will be disappointed with his actions.

2:21:22 > 2:21:29Finn Russell takes over where Greig Laidlaw made off, Scotland have

2:21:29 > 2:21:34their first point of the second half. They have the man advantage,

2:21:34 > 2:21:41there are 14 minutes remaining for England to try to salvage this.

2:21:42 > 2:21:46England to try to salvage this.From tradition, Scotland should not lose

2:21:46 > 2:21:53this game. If they play sensibly, they play with the same intensity

2:21:53 > 2:22:00they have been, they should close this game out.

2:22:06 > 2:22:14Price was there once again.

2:22:14 > 2:22:18England down a man, Sam Underhill sent to the bin. Eight and a half

2:22:18 > 2:22:25minutes of that punishment remaining.

2:22:30 > 2:22:35Taken well by Johnny May. England have to do it from deep now, with 14

2:22:35 > 2:22:42men. Just for a moment, Farrell looked lost but Jack Nowell took it

2:22:42 > 2:22:43on.

2:22:51 > 2:22:57Can the 14 men galvanise themselves?

2:23:07 > 2:23:13The scrum-halves are having a kicking contest now.

2:23:13 > 2:23:21England have an opportunity, 14 men or not. Three blue shirts in front

2:23:21 > 2:23:28of Knowle, but he skipped and the 22.

2:23:28 > 2:23:4722. -- in front of Nowell. Penalty to Scotland. Nothing going

2:23:47 > 2:23:52the way of England. Scotland's defence works well again.John

2:23:52 > 2:24:00Barclay again. Wait until the ruck again, wait until the breakdown. He

2:24:00 > 2:24:12is choosing his decision. Some good attack from England.

2:24:12 > 2:24:15You only need to be a split-second later in your attempt to clear out

2:24:15 > 2:24:25and she will be made to pay. It has happened several times to

2:24:25 > 2:24:28happened several times to England. Six penalties to one is the penalty

2:24:28 > 2:24:34count. Eddie Jones being tested almost as

2:24:34 > 2:24:42never before. In their last 20 16 Nations games, England have only

2:24:42 > 2:24:51lost twice, both in Dublin. This is a rare feeling for them. -- in their

2:24:51 > 2:25:00last 20 Six Nations game. Simon Berghan is replaced by WP Nel,

2:25:00 > 2:25:09who is back from injury. David Denton on in the back row for

2:25:09 > 2:25:15Scotland. A change in the front row for

2:25:15 > 2:25:24England, Mako Vunipola is off and Joe Marler is back on.

2:25:24 > 2:25:29Not how he imagined making his return to the England setup. 11

2:25:29 > 2:25:35minutes still remain, six and a half minutes remaining of the Underhill

2:25:35 > 2:25:43sentence. From Scotland being the side that wanted to play a pace,

2:25:43 > 2:25:52they have decided to drop things now.

2:25:57 > 2:26:01England again on the attack. Even with 14 men, they have the ball to

2:26:01 > 2:26:08play with.

2:26:18 > 2:26:26The 14 men of England are playing well enough.

2:26:54 > 2:26:59Still England's ball. Seven phases. We are into the final ten minutes of

2:26:59 > 2:27:00this game.

2:27:16 > 2:27:20A dozen phases.

2:27:28 > 2:27:32Scotland cry turnover, but not yet.

2:27:42 > 2:27:47Penalty, or a knock-on. I thought it was going to be a penalty to

2:27:47 > 2:27:54England.

2:27:54 > 2:28:04Nigel Allen says he did not see anything. -- Nigel Owens.

2:28:04 > 2:28:09Change being made, England making a couple of changes. Joe Launchbury is

2:28:09 > 2:28:22coming off, and Kruse is coming on.

2:28:25 > 2:28:34-- Kruis is coming on. Wigglesworth is coming on as well.

2:28:34 > 2:28:37is coming on as well.The Scotland defence has been outstanding. Where

2:28:37 > 2:28:41England have found a bit of space, it is on the edge. As the game has

2:28:41 > 2:28:45got closer and tighter, England's skill execution has become poorer

2:28:45 > 2:28:52and poorer.

2:28:54 > 2:28:58England are still down to 14 men, Sam Underhill is off and ball

2:28:58 > 2:29:07minutes of our Tremain. -- and four minutes of that remain. Even with 14

2:29:07 > 2:29:18men they have had much of the play. Wigglesworth is on at scrum-half.

2:29:23 > 2:29:33Scotland is quite happy for a couple of scrum resets.

2:29:36 > 2:29:45Go go there have been a few penalties and handling errors.

2:29:45 > 2:29:52Eddie Jones does not look happy. He will be frustrated at some of those

2:29:52 > 2:30:00penalties and handling errors.

2:30:00 > 2:30:06Murrayfield things, the scrum will reset. -- Murrayfield things. The

2:30:06 > 2:30:12clock ticks away.

2:30:14 > 2:30:19REFEREE:Once we're down, I called the set. OK?

2:30:27 > 2:30:39Wait, wait.The only man many is McInally, the Scotland hooker, from

2:30:39 > 2:30:44the start.

2:30:44 > 2:30:49the start.How well Reid has done, in this game and previous games. A

2:30:49 > 2:30:52penalty to Scotland.

2:31:00 > 2:31:06The time is fast running out for England here. The feet are

2:31:06 > 2:31:12underneath them. They're not back like they were a couple of times in

2:31:12 > 2:31:19the first time. Everyone just collapsing under the pressure.

2:31:19 > 2:31:24That's a decent nudge to touch as well and Scotland back into the

2:31:24 > 2:31:31England half.

2:31:37 > 2:31:45Scotland is beginning to have a few more options in the front row.

2:31:45 > 2:32:05McInally will be under pressure. Grigg, five but he's so strong.

2:32:12 > 2:32:17England desperately trying to rescue this situation. One room remaining

2:32:17 > 2:32:24at the Sam Underhill yellow card. England have discourse soon. --

2:32:24 > 2:32:28England hath to score soon.

2:32:35 > 2:32:41Five minutes remaining in the Calcutta Cup and Scotland a dozen

2:32:41 > 2:32:43points clear.

2:32:54 > 2:32:57Scotland now will tackle themselves to a standstill.

2:33:07 > 2:33:10Underhill waits to come back on.

2:33:21 > 2:33:25Robshaw now trying to get England to go forwards.

2:33:36 > 2:33:42Jonny May, look at the blue shirts around Jonny May! England still

2:33:42 > 2:33:49looking for something. Robshaw against leading them on. 14 men

2:33:49 > 2:33:57through a dozen phases.

2:34:13 > 2:34:23REFEREE:Tackle is made, play on! Tackle is made, play on!

2:34:25 > 2:34:30England move forward, but running out of time. 17 phases and all the

2:34:30 > 2:34:35while Sam

2:34:35 > 2:34:38while Sam Underhill waiting to come back on. Advantage to England,

2:34:38 > 2:34:47penalty coming. Penalty but they have to run.

2:34:47 > 2:34:55England need this score now!

2:35:03 > 2:35:12Robshaw, what carrying he has done! Two minutes remaining.

2:35:12 > 2:35:24Still England,. Anthony Watson still going...

2:35:25 > 2:35:31England clearing out the balls there for them.

2:35:44 > 2:35:50The penalty goals to Scotland and the Calcutta Cup may well be won.

2:35:50 > 2:35:59Eddie Jones knows it.

2:35:59 > 2:36:05Eddie Jones knows it.That is a crucial intervention. I'm sure a lot

2:36:05 > 2:36:10of England fans are saying, why has it taken this long to England to

2:36:10 > 2:36:15play with this intensity must remark to play with this straightness and

2:36:15 > 2:36:22directness? Had they done so even for part of this, they'd be much

2:36:22 > 2:36:31closer.The Scotland defence outstanding. More attack. What's

2:36:31 > 2:36:35been lacking for me for England is an attacking structure. The bits of

2:36:35 > 2:36:40play from individual talent, but attacking shape and structure I've

2:36:40 > 2:36:45not seen this afternoon.The final minutes at Murrayfield and

2:36:45 > 2:36:52Murrayfield knows that victory will be Scotland's. The line-out goes

2:36:52 > 2:37:00wrong, though. Perhaps Murrayfield has celebrated too soon.

2:37:06 > 2:37:11Is there a final twist? Time is against England.

2:37:16 > 2:37:26Flower Of Scotland around the stadium.

2:37:26 > 2:37:36There may still be a try for England.

2:37:36 > 2:37:39England. The clock is red, the last passage of play will not be enough

2:37:39 > 2:37:46for England. Arms are aloft around Murrayfield already. England look

2:37:46 > 2:37:55for something. A smile on the face of Grant Gilchrist. England still

2:37:55 > 2:38:02attack.

2:38:03 > 2:38:09Attack to a backdrop of Scottish song here at Murrayfield.

2:38:17 > 2:38:20Through a phase after phase, all they can hope for is a losing bonus

2:38:20 > 2:38:22point.

2:38:29 > 2:38:36CHEERING Anthony Watson has the last touch of

2:38:36 > 2:38:39this extraordinary match. A win for Scotland for Murrayfield to

2:38:39 > 2:38:44celebrate.

2:38:46 > 2:38:49celebrate. England are stunned, they so rarely have tasted defeat. But

2:38:49 > 2:38:53for the first time in ten years, Scotland will drink from the

2:38:53 > 2:38:58Calcutta Cup. An extraordinary result built on the first half

2:38:58 > 2:39:06performance. Scotland rightly celebrate. A fantastic victory for

2:39:06 > 2:39:12Scotland here at Murrayfield. NatWest Man of the Match, Finn

2:39:12 > 2:39:17Russell, who had to put up with so much criticism after the game

2:39:17 > 2:39:22against France. His contribution today was outstanding. John Barclay

2:39:22 > 2:39:35was outstanding, but then NatWest Man of the Match, Finn Russell.

2:39:37 > 2:39:42Man of the Match, Finn Russell.As Martin Johnson said earlier on, in

2:39:42 > 2:39:52the build-up to this game, this can happen and it did happen. The

2:39:52 > 2:39:57championship, the 6 Nations championship is blown open. And

2:39:57 > 2:40:00again, take nothing as read, as predicted, in this game because

2:40:00 > 2:40:08England came here such strong, strong favourites. 25 wins out of

2:40:08 > 2:40:1226. So rarely beaten in the 6 Nations but Scotland have won and

2:40:12 > 2:40:17England go on to try and rescue this championship. What a win for

2:40:17 > 2:40:20Scotland. Man of the Match Finn Russell is talking to Sonia

2:40:20 > 2:40:26MacLachlan.How does this sound? Scotland winners of the 2018

2:40:26 > 2:40:32Calcutta Cup? The IT sounds amazing. You hear the crowd just now and it's

2:40:32 > 2:40:34unreal Remy, ten years since we won

2:40:34 > 2:40:34You hear the crowd just now and it's unreal Remy, ten years since we won

2:40:34 > 2:40:41it. You a much maligned in the week after your first two performances.

2:40:41 > 2:40:44How much did you personally wants to come out here and remind people of

2:40:44 > 2:40:50what a fine fly half you are?It's been a tough couple of weeks. I'm

2:40:50 > 2:40:55going to keep smiling no matter what. I've enjoyed all three weeks,

2:40:55 > 2:41:00especially this one. We managed to turn it on today.You surprised

2:41:00 > 2:41:08yourself as to how good you were in the first 40 minutes?We had a game

2:41:08 > 2:41:12plan and did really well. We played outstanding in the three games and

2:41:12 > 2:41:17we managed to get back in that kind of a form.Do you think Scotland can

2:41:17 > 2:41:20still have a big say in the outcome of this championship giving you have

2:41:20 > 2:41:25Ireland's away next?Yeah, it's going to tough in next couple of

2:41:25 > 2:41:28games but hopefully we have a chance. Hopefully we'll keep that

2:41:28 > 2:41:32going and build on its next week. Well done. John Barclay your captain

2:41:32 > 2:41:39is just alongside you. Wow, where did that come from?

2:41:39 > 2:41:48did that come from?I think... We've been fuelled by this last year,

2:41:48 > 2:41:54disappointment in the Wales game. We haven't become a bad team overnight,

2:41:54 > 2:41:58so it was great to get a win against France and that's another great win.

2:41:58 > 2:42:02I guess that blows the competition opened a bit now.At half-time, did

2:42:02 > 2:42:07you say to yourselves, we need to keep playing like this? Or was it a

2:42:07 > 2:42:10more pragmatic approach for the second 40?It was a bit of keep

2:42:10 > 2:42:14playing the same way and also the pressure was on them to have to

2:42:14 > 2:42:22score points so a bit of both.What about Finn Russell? He took a bit of

2:42:22 > 2:42:25criticism after his first two performances. What does it say about

2:42:25 > 2:42:28him that he can come out and controlled the game the way he did?

2:42:28 > 2:42:32I don't know if you read the media on Friday but I predicted he'd be

2:42:32 > 2:42:36Man of the Match today. That's the nature of the guy he is, it's his

2:42:36 > 2:42:45character. He plays on that line. Today, he's outstanding. Is one of

2:42:45 > 2:42:50the best in the world, I believe. Many congratulations.Thank you.

2:42:50 > 2:42:54Just alongside you is the England coach, Eddie Jones. Just shaking

2:42:54 > 2:42:59John Barclay by the hand. Where you beaten by the better team?

2:42:59 > 2:43:03Congratulations, Scotland. They were too good for us.Why do you think

2:43:03 > 2:43:09England were so off the pace, particularly in the first 40?Well,

2:43:09 > 2:43:13it's human nature. Unfortunately we just weren't in the game the first

2:43:13 > 2:43:1940. Scotland played well. Full marks to Scotland.How much was that team

2:43:19 > 2:43:25talk about fire and fury from you? We knew what we were going to get,

2:43:25 > 2:43:28but we didn't meet the challenge today for some reason. I'm really

2:43:28 > 2:43:32proud of the effort of the boys at the second half. We stuck in there

2:43:32 > 2:43:37and won the second half.There was a pre-match scuffle involving Owen

2:43:37 > 2:43:40Farrell and others among both sets of players. Did England lose their

2:43:40 > 2:43:46heads?Look, I don't know. I don't think so. These things happen.13

2:43:46 > 2:43:51penalties from your side today. They can't keep it on a single figures.

2:43:51 > 2:43:57How costly was that?We need to sit down and look at why we gave away so

2:43:57 > 2:44:05many penalties and work out the reason for it. It's never nice to

2:44:05 > 2:44:09get beat especially here, but they deserve the victory.Do you think

2:44:09 > 2:44:14England can have a major say in the outcome of this championship?Two

2:44:14 > 2:44:18games to go, we'll just take our next game. We've a lot to learn from

2:44:18 > 2:44:21this game and we put our best foot forward in the next game.Thank you.

2:44:21 > 2:44:23Thank you.

2:44:23 > 2:44:25forward in the next game.Thank you. Thank you.

2:44:25 > 2:44:30STUDIO: It was a second-half laced with controversy and drama. That was

2:44:30 > 2:44:33Scotland's biggest ever victory in the 6 Nations over England and it

2:44:33 > 2:44:37means because they didn't get a bonus point, England, it's a 3-way

2:44:37 > 2:44:42battle for the title and its islands, Scotland the next time

2:44:42 > 2:44:47around.

2:44:48 > 2:44:52around. You might yet dared to dream.Very much so, but that was a

2:44:52 > 2:44:56brilliant performance all round by Scotland. The foundations were laid

2:44:56 > 2:44:59in the first half with some attacking rugby. It was won in the

2:44:59 > 2:45:04second half with some brilliant defence. John Barclay was at the

2:45:04 > 2:45:08heart of that and he richly deserves this moment.For the first time in a

2:45:08 > 2:45:17decade, the Calcutta Cup is Scotland's. First played for in 1879

2:45:17 > 2:45:20and a few Scottish victories in that century and a half would have been

2:45:20 > 2:45:25greeted with such rapturous elation. From England perspective, Martin,

2:45:25 > 2:45:31how do you assess that performance? I think Eddie said something about

2:45:31 > 2:45:35complacency and that it's never far away. When you get beaten like that,

2:45:35 > 2:45:40you normally sits down afterwards and if you're honest with yourself

2:45:40 > 2:45:43you say, were we in the right frame of mind for that game? If he can

2:45:43 > 2:45:49joke about it, but unless you get yourself in the right frame of mind

2:45:49 > 2:45:52as a player and team, that can happen to anybody. In the first

2:45:52 > 2:45:56half, they wait at the races. The second half, they were a lot better.

2:45:56 > 2:46:00But the cat is out of the bag, the crowd are going crazy. Everything

2:46:00 > 2:46:04seems to go against them and they lost composure a bit. Scotland are

2:46:04 > 2:46:11playing like Superman. User at the start, you give them that they will

2:46:11 > 2:46:16play a lot better. They did everything you don't want to do away

2:46:16 > 2:46:21from home.You get the flip side of that. Scotland in Cardiff against

2:46:21 > 2:46:26Wales, everything they tried didn't come off. The kicks didn't go their

2:46:26 > 2:46:29way, some of the referee decisions didn't go their way. Today

2:46:29 > 2:46:35everything went their way. Their hunt for the ball was spectacular

2:46:35 > 2:46:41and some of the decisions didn't go their way, but all four us here

2:46:41 > 2:46:44believed they deserve win that game because their heart and soul was in

2:46:44 > 2:46:50it. It was more than England.At the end of the day, England have won a

2:46:50 > 2:46:55lot. They were still turning the ball over. That's the game. The

2:46:55 > 2:47:00breakdown is the game more than set pieces nowadays. They committed

2:47:00 > 2:47:04today and they were hungrier, more aggressive. They thoroughly deserved

2:47:04 > 2:47:09to win.I think Scotland, for the first two rounds, were playing way

2:47:09 > 2:47:14below their potential. I played the Glasgow caused by Gregor Townsend

2:47:14 > 2:47:17towards the end of my career. They were incredibly difficult in

2:47:17 > 2:47:22contact, they were so physical and vicious. They were able to play

2:47:22 > 2:47:29rugby while having that physicality. The final whistle went ten minutes

2:47:29 > 2:47:35ago but nobody has left yet. What does this do for self belief in the

2:47:35 > 2:47:39Scottish perspective with cyan there's a lot happening at

2:47:39 > 2:47:43Murrayfield. Nine wins out of ten now. You can see everybody now comes

2:47:43 > 2:47:49to Murrayfield, almost expecting a win.It's not been like that for a

2:47:49 > 2:47:54long time, if ever. You can feel the atmosphere in here. You can hear it

2:47:54 > 2:47:59now. That is, as I said, the cloud to the macro crowd almost helped in

2:47:59 > 2:48:05the second half with the defensive effort. My goodness, they needed.

2:48:05 > 2:48:13How good that defensive effort was to keep England in that game.

2:48:13 > 2:48:15to keep England in that game.The crowd were totally into it. When

2:48:15 > 2:48:19you're away from home, it's exactly what you don't want. Every decision

2:48:19 > 2:48:25against you, the crowd cheering, it's 100% harder like that.We talk

2:48:25 > 2:48:28about decisions against England in this instance. Let's have a quick

2:48:28 > 2:48:33chat while we milk the occasion because it is fantastic. It's a

2:48:33 > 2:48:36wonderful atmosphere. I'm sure even the away fans here are getting into

2:48:36 > 2:48:43the spirit because it's just a great place to be at the moment like this.

2:48:43 > 2:48:46A lot of debate is going to be about the way Nigel Owens handled the

2:48:46 > 2:48:49game, particularly in the second half, and one or two key decisions

2:48:49 > 2:48:56that were made. Martin, talk us through these.

2:48:56 > 2:49:00through these.I think his knee goes down, so technically Nigel is

2:49:00 > 2:49:04probably right in terms of that. As a player, if he hasn't given the

2:49:04 > 2:49:08advantage and then he puts his arm up, that's what frustrates you. I

2:49:08 > 2:49:18don't know if it's set on the field. You can't say maybe, possibly. To

2:49:18 > 2:49:22give Nigel his time is the correct decision.He's got to get back and

2:49:22 > 2:49:29get on. It's gone, once he's given it, gone, next job.This was hard to

2:49:29 > 2:49:37see at the time. His right hand came out, a great knock on. That was

2:49:37 > 2:49:41crucial because England have come out playing in the second half and

2:49:41 > 2:49:49then got that as well as the foul try and it was game on.If you want

2:49:49 > 2:49:52to do forensic analysis of the game, as an inward supporter, you can look

2:49:52 > 2:49:57at every ruck and see a penalty for you and you can see one for Scotland

2:49:57 > 2:50:01if your Scotland supporter. From my eyes, I thought Nigel Owens had a

2:50:01 > 2:50:06good game.Let's hear from Gregor Townsend, the man of the moment.

2:50:06 > 2:50:11Your first Calcutta Cup match as coach. First win. Have you got the

2:50:11 > 2:50:17Midas touch?Well, it equals the amount I had as a player so it's a

2:50:17 > 2:50:22great feeling. We knew how important this week was going to be in terms

2:50:22 > 2:50:26of preparation. What it means for our country, our supporters, and the

2:50:26 > 2:50:30players played with real prize, real intensity and a lot of accuracy

2:50:30 > 2:50:34especially in the first of.A real show of emotion from you when Huw

2:50:34 > 2:50:37Jones went over for his second try. You were punching the air, out of

2:50:37 > 2:50:42your seat. What was going through your mind?It was one of those

2:50:42 > 2:50:45uplifting moments when we didn't really execute the first and second

2:50:45 > 2:50:52phase options as well as we thought, but Huw ran hard and made two

2:50:52 > 2:50:56excellent decisions on line breaks on what to do. He did the right

2:50:56 > 2:50:59thing and his strength got him over the line and gave everyone a big

2:50:59 > 2:51:03boost.Is Huw Jones close to be one of the best centres in the 6

2:51:03 > 2:51:07Nations?On form, he's very dangerous. He worked very hard off

2:51:07 > 2:51:14the ball for us. If you're willing to work to get on ball, that gets

2:51:14 > 2:51:19you rewards.16 point lead at half-time. Did you discuss in the

2:51:19 > 2:51:23week, right, we'll have this sort of lead against England in the Calcutta

2:51:23 > 2:51:28Cup, what do we do?Know, we discuss opportunities we believe we can

2:51:28 > 2:51:33create with the way we were looking to play, the way England's defence,

2:51:33 > 2:51:37and it was pleasing how we took them today. We also spent a lot of time

2:51:37 > 2:51:40putting our defence in place that could trouble England, could force

2:51:40 > 2:51:45them into mistakes and we did that and we felt the contact area was an

2:51:45 > 2:51:49area of opportunity for us today and we got a lot of turnovers and

2:51:49 > 2:51:53penalties.You've beaten the second best side in the world, what about

2:51:53 > 2:51:58the third? You have Ireland's next. They're pretty good. We got them

2:51:58 > 2:52:02away from home and we need to improve away from home so it's not

2:52:02 > 2:52:05been great for us over the last few years. BT Murrayfield has been

2:52:05 > 2:52:12fantastic. We've played the top three teams in the world at the time

2:52:12 > 2:52:15so with England, New Zealand and Australia, who were third in

2:52:15 > 2:52:18November, and we played very well against all three. The job now is to

2:52:18 > 2:52:22make sure we put in a very good performance away from home against a

2:52:22 > 2:52:27top quality team.You get a week off. Do you allow your team to

2:52:27 > 2:52:31celebrate tonight?Oh, yes! It's been a long time since we won that

2:52:31 > 2:52:38trophy. Hopefully back at our hotel later tonight.Congratulation.Thank

2:52:38 > 2:52:43you.Hopefully undamaged like it was occasionally in the old days.

2:52:43 > 2:52:49There's the Calcutta Cup. Dating back to the Calcutta rugby club in

2:52:49 > 2:52:551879. Offer appreciation for what Gregor has done having picked up the

2:52:55 > 2:53:02taken the team on.I think he has. He's taken it, he came in and a lot

2:53:02 > 2:53:06of people doubted whether it was the right time. I think the last part of

2:53:06 > 2:53:08that interview says a lot about Gregor Townsend that he's already

2:53:08 > 2:53:14looking to try to correct the away record that's not been good. I think

2:53:14 > 2:53:19that shows you he's moving on already. They'll enjoy that tonight.
