Hogg's magical kicking performance which inspired historic Scotland win

BY Shaywaterworth  ·  Sunday Feb 7, 2021

Scotland captain Stuart Hogg produced a wonderful second half kicking display on Saturday to help his side record an historic win against England at Twickenham.

Hogg’s lovely spiral kicks consistently pinned England deep inside their own half and it was this pressure which helped Scotland to a 6-11 win on the hallowed turf, the first since 1983.

Three kicks in particular stood out for the full back, the first being a lovely penalty kick which took Scotland into England’s five metre line with an attacking line out.

Hogg repeated this success in open play with a beautiful spiral deep into the left-hand corner while his third stroke of genius was capitalising on a poor piece of play from Owen Farrell to send the ball 70-metres down field.

Hogg, 28, has earned 81 caps for Scotland since making his debut in 2012 and toured with the British & Irish Lions in 2013 and 2017.
