Scotland player ratings against England as standout scores 9/10 and turnover king did not deserve to lose

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.
