Scotland scored six unanswered tries at Twickenham to retain the Calcutta Cup in one of the most amazing games of international rugby in recent history.
England led 31-7 at half time after showing some lovely counter attacking rugby from the backfield, but Scotland made an incredible comeback to take the lead in the 76th minute through a Sam Johnson try.

But a final try from replacement fly half George Ford spared English blushes in the last play of the game, which he converted to level the scores.

This was the highest scoring draw in international rugby history and concludes a remarkable day of Six Nations Rugby.
This draw means that England finished second in the Six Nations table with Scotland remaining in fifth and it was a game which will be remembered for a long, long time.
