Scotland v England LIVE: Result and reaction from Six Nations

Scotland 30-21 England: Duhan van der Merwe’s sublime hat-trick helped Scotland to a historic fourth straight win in the Calcutta Cup

Six Nations: Full Contact trailer

Duhan van der Merwe scored a superb hat-trick as Scotland rugby beat England rugby 30-21 at Murrayfield to claim a fourth successive Six Nations win in the fixture for the first time since the 1890s.

England, seeking a third Six Nations win for the first time since 2020, led through a George Furbank try after five minutes and looked in control, only for Van der Merwe to strike twice to help the hosts to a somewhat flattering 17-13 half-time lead.

The winger, who scored two superb tries in Scotland’s victory at Twickenham last season, collected a Finn Russell kick three minutes into the second half for his third, and two Russell penalties stretched Scotland’s lead to 30-16.

England emptied their bench and replacement wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso grabbed their second try after 66 minutes but, unlike in their opening wins over Italy and Wales, they could not complete the comeback as Scotland claimed their second victory having agonisingly lost to France last time out.

YELLOW CARD! Duhan van der Merwe is sent to the sin bin! Scotland 30-21 England, 79 minutes

A match-winning performance from Duhan van der Merwe will end on a bum note, the Scotland wing shown yellow by referee Andrew Brace after taking Tommy Freeman beyond the horizontal and dumping him on his back.

England have a minute and a half to find two scores...

Scotland 30-21 England, 77 minutes

England place their order at the last chance saloon, but it never arrives - Ollie Lawrence throws a rather wretched pass to no-one in particular and it hobbles into touch.

Scotland 30-21 England, 75 minutes

The knock-ons continue from England, allowing Finn Russell to pin them back with a couple of punts. But a silly penalty against George Horne for advancing in front of the kicker gives England stable ball - punted into the Scotland half.

Scotland 30-21 England, 73 minutes

Will Stuart looks to put pressure on the Scotland scrum but gets his set-up wrong, the free kick allowing Scotland to swallow up more crucial seconds.

Scotland 30-21 England, 72 minutes

George Furbank attempts to create something from nothing on the counter-attack, jinking and jiving up to the line but then forcing an offload that isn’t on to Ollie Chessum. Chesusm knocks on.

Scotland take another minute out of the game playing with the advantage, before drawing another knock on out of Joe Marler.

Cameron Redpath has taken a bang to the nose, which requires patching up. Ben Healy is on, with Finn Russell Scotland’s third inside centre of the evening.

Scotland 30-21 England, 70 minutes

Superb defence from Scotland. Finn Russell makes a strong hit and then it’s sterling work from Jack Dempsey, catching Maro Itoje carrying high and holding him up off the floor. Turnover ball, Scotland’s scrum.

Scotland 30-21 England, 69 minutes

Do Scotland try to shut the game down, or do they want to kill it off? The latter, it appears, with a bonus point within reach, but a barge on Maro Itoje from Ewan Ashman having run a dummy line gives England a penalty.

Fin Smith punts it down towards the Scotland 22, with Theo Dan on to throw the lineout.

TRY! Scotland 30-21 ENGLAND (Immanuel Feyi-Waboso try, 67 minutes)

Hope for England! Immanuel Feyi-Waboso scythes through!

He’d barely been on 30 seconds! Feyi-Waboso replaces Henry Slade before the restart and is immediately involved, leading the chase up the right that eventually resulted in English possession.

The visitors play to the left and Feyi-Waboso spots an opportunity, arriving at the line late to leave Cameron Redpath unaware of his presence, and sprinting through the hole to the replacement Scottish centre’s right.

Can Fin Smith convert? Not quite, off the upright!

PENALTY! SCOTLAND 30-16 England (Finn Russell penalty, 66 minutes)

Pinpoint and precise. Scotland lead by two converted scores.

[24 February 2024 18:15 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

Scotland 27-16 England, 64 minutes

The game is opening up as England’s urgency grows. Ben Earl almost breaks away but Elliot Millar-Mills gets to his legs, the prop bouncing to his feet and deemed to have contested legally as Maro Itoje slips off his feet.

Penalty Scotland’s way, and this should be three more from Finn Russell’s right boot...
