Scotland registered their first victory over England in a decade to reignite their NatWest 6 Nations title aspirations and leave the champions nursing a conclusive 25-13 defeat. A 22-6 lead had been compiled by half-time, leaving Jones' pre-tournament questioning of Scotland's lateral offence and ability to deal with expectation looking ill-judged. Owen Farrell crossed early in the second half but it was a lone shot as Dylan Hartley marked the occasion of becoming his nation's second most capped player behind Jason Leonard with a painful loss. Just after the half hour mark Scottish ambition conjured a second try.
