Scotland relinquished the Calcutta Cup in heartbreaking fashion as Finn Russell squandered a last-gasp conversion for victory in a 16-15 defeat to England.
Fly-half Russell, who has so often been the architect of England’s downfall, fired wide of the left post in the final minute at Allianz Stadium following a dramatic touch down from Duhan van der Merwe.
First-half tries from Ben White and Huw Jones, either side of a converted score from England’s Tommy Freeman, put Gregor Townsend’s team en route for an unprecedented fifth consecutive win in this fixture.
But the Scots paid a heavy price for failing to turn their early dominance into a greater lead as eight points from Marcus Smith and a long-range Fin Smith penalty turned the contest in the hosts’ favour, prior to the sensational finale.
Here is how the Scotland players rated out of 10 for their performance...

16. Replacements
Gregor Townsend emptied the bench in the second half with mixed results. Stafford McDowall helped create Scotland's third try with a storming run from halfway but the other replacements couldn't stop England gaining the upper hand. Townsend changed the front five and also brought on Matt Fagerson in the back row, Jamie Dobie at scrum-half and McDowall at centre. | Getty Images
