Scotland's Heartbreaking Loss Against England: A Tale of Missed Chances

Scotland's coach, Gregor Townsend, voiced deep pride in his team's grit during a narrow 16-15 defeat against England at Twickenham. This heart-wrenching game concluded a sequence of four consecutive wins over their opponents, almost extinguishing their Six Nations championship dreams.
