England fall guy Luke Cowan-Dickie apologises for costly mistake against Scotland
Cowan-Dickie deliberately knocked the ball out of play, denying Scotland winger Darcy Graham a clear scoring opportunity midway through the second half. Referee Ben O’Keeffe, after a TMO referral, decided to award a penalty try and yellow-card the Englishman for his actions, resulting in ten minutes in the sin bin.
Leading 17-10 at the time, England lost all their momentum and Scotland went on to press home their numerical advantage with a further Finn Russell penalty to win the match 20-17.
