A historic victory by the Scots !!  And in what a fashion. Once again, it is their arrogance towards the Scottish which have cost the English the game.  The underestimation of the Scots , and I am not Scottish, is what lead to the early trials by the Scots, that of course and the great play by the Scots. 

Well deserved that victory, total control by Scotland from the first till the last minute with the exception of the first minutes in the 2nd half. 

What a day it must be, this Sunday, to be Scottish in Scotland

Hats off to England. They gave it their best and helped to create a very exciting game.

Looks like a rubbish tackle in that photograph.

I doubt that England underestimated Scotland - I think they saw the potential for this happening. England seem to have a recurring issue with getting going from the off.

Yet again we have too many fine lines with a refereeing style suiting one team over another. It shouldn't be that way - both teams should receive equal outcomes of a referees decisions.

Nigel Owens was very guilty of allowing time to run down late into the second half with repeated scrum sets and repeated lectures on the scrum when one team were trying to score and desperate to get back into the game. If you're going to change laws to encourage free rugby then don't penalise the attacking team with repeated scrum sets.

@G.MAL.O.Q - Hardly arrogant considering England had 8 straight wins and had stuffed 61 points against Scotland less than a year ago. Scotland have never been a team to be feared since the 70's/80's, they've only beaten England 5 times since 1990. In fact, recent history shows that if it wasn't for Italy then Scotland would be England's whipping boys. Enjoy the moment, it won't last.

P.S. When was the last time Scotland won the 6 nations?

P.P.S. I'm not even an England or rugby fan either, I just find Scottish fans reactions to this result to be highly amusing.
