UPDATE 1-Rugby-England and Scotland draw 38-all in extraordinary Six Nations finale
Jack Nowell grabbed the first try after 56 seconds and further scores by Tom Curry, Joe Launchbury and Jonny May – his sixth of the championship, had them 31-7 up at the break after Stuart McInally scored a charge-down try in a rare bright moment for the visitors. It clearly gave them a lift as they were unrecognisable in the second half, scoring four tries in 13 minutes - two for wing Darcy Graham and one each for Magnus Bradbury and Finn Russell meant that after an hour they had come back from 31-0 down to level the game at 31-all. They then looked to have snatched their first Twickenham win since 1983 when centre Sam Johnson blasted through four defenders to score in the 76th minute, only for replacement flyhalf Ford to find a way through under the posts at the death.
I'm gutted to be honest," man-of-the-match Russell said. "Everyone wrote us off at halftime. But I am so gutted we didn't manage to finish it off. "First half we got caught off guard. Second half we had nothing to lose. We played good Scottish rugby in the second half. We did ourselves proud. It was a good way to finish the campaign."
