Summary at a Glance

Scotland were aiming for an unprecedented fifth successive win in the fixture and won the try count 3-1 with Ben White, Huw Jones and Duhan van der Merwe crossing.

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has urged his players to build on their agonising near miss against England at Allianz Stadium.

Scotland close out a Guinness Six Nations that now has two defeats with clashes against Wales and France and Townsend wants them to finish with a flourish.

“We were very close to getting a historic win and whether it was a kick or another decision at the end of the game, we’d be talking about a brilliant win.

It was a cruel conclusion given their control of the game, with their key shortcoming the failure to score the points that reflected their dominance, especially in a high-octane opening quarter.
