Magnificent Duhan Van Der Merwe became the first Scotland player to score a Calcutta Cup hat-trick as they soared to their fourth consecutive victory over England in an intoxicating Guinness Six Nations showdown in Edinburgh.
The jet-heeled wing – who scored a stunning double at Twickenham just over 12 months ago – had the home crowd in raptures as he produced a Murrayfield masterclass to inspire his team to a 30-21 victory and move to within one of Scotland’s all-time record try-scorer Stuart Hogg.
England started brightly and opened up an early 10-0 lead, with George Furbank scoring his first international try, but Steve Borthwick’s men offered little thereafter as their unbeaten start to the championship shuddered to a halt.
We give each starter for Scotland a mark out of ten for their performance in a historic victory at Murrayfield.
13. Huw Jones
He got over his missed tackle for England's opening try by making a great run and offload for van der Merwe's opener, before capitalising on George Furbank's error to set up second try. Always a threat in attack and made some big hits later in the match. 8 Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group / SRU
14. Kyle Steyn
His superb tackle on Elliot Daly in the second half summed up the power of work he put in defensively. Van der Merwe right takes headlines but his opposite winger played very well. 8 Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
15. Blair Kinghorn
His first-minute take from a high ball set the tone for an assured and confident performance at 15 as he slotted seamlessly back into the Scotland XV. 8 Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
16. Replacements
Cam Redpath, above, came on at the start of the second half and made a fine break to pierce the England rearguard. Ewan Ashman was also impressive as a replacement hooker, while Andy Christie forced a penalty. Elliot Millar-Mills held his own in the scrum, as did fellow replacement prop Alec Hepburn. George Horne, Sam Skinner and Ben Healy were all also called upon. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group / SRU
