Scotland delivered a stunning 31-20 victory over England at Murrayfield, reclaiming the Calcutta Cup in front of a raucous home crowd. Captain Sione Tuipulotu admitted the win was fueled by the trauma of last week’s defeat in Rome, saying he finally let that pain out on the English side. Coach Gregor Townsend remained stone‑faced, letting the result speak for itself.

England entered the match on the back of a string of six‑nation defeats, yet their error‑laden display offered little resistance. Scotland’s defence held firm while Finn Russell orchestrated two tries, and the team’s relentless intensity turned the game into a showcase of controlled fury. However, injuries to Jack Dempsey, Jamie Ritchie and Jamie Dobie mean the squad heads to Cardiff without three key contributors.

The win lifts Scotland to the top of the Six Nations table and gives Townsend a rare taste of redemption after a bruising week in Rome. Maintaining this momentum against Wales will be essential; a second victory would cement the Calcutta Cup triumph as more than a one‑off. Scotland now stands as the tournament’s most dangerous side.
