A first-half converted try from debutant Ben White, followed by a penalty try in the second half and two penalties from Finn Russell ensured Scotland would have the bragging rights at BT Murrayfield.
There were so many excellent performances in blue as Scotland dug deep to get the victory.

16. The replacements
Ben White came on after only 12 minutes and scored a debut try six minutes later before returning to the bench. He reappeared late on to help see out the win. Also notable performances from the three front-row replacements who came on en masse for the final half hour and withstood severe pressure at the late scrums. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group / SRU
