ENGLAND have been beaten by Scotland in the Six Nations.
The Red Rose dominated proceedings but found themselves 10-6 down at half time thanks to a try from debutant Ben White.
However a well-worked try from Marcus Smith put them ahead in the second half.
Just when England were starting to turn the screw however, Luke Cowan Dickie inexplicably palmed the ball out, gifting the Scots a deliberate penalty for a knock-on and picking up a yellow card.
The Scots then exploited their man advantage as Finn Russell kicked them into the lead.
Nails were bitten all around Murrayfield in the final stages, but Scotland survived four England scrums to make it two victories in a row over the Red Rose.
