Scotland have beaten England 11-6 in their Guinness Six Nations match at Twickenham.<\/p>\nScotland have beaten England 11-6 in their Guinness Six Nations match at Twickenham.<\/p>\n
Scotland pulled off just their fifth win at Twickenham and their first since 1983 courtesy of a gritty second-half display to prevail.<\/p>\n
Both Russell and Stuart Hogg missed second-half penalties, but the visitors still hung on for a historic victory.<\/p>\n
Former England Under-20s team-mates Ollie Lawrence and Cameron Redpath went head to head as England hosted Scotland in the Six Nations at Twickenham.<\/p>\n
Worcester powerhouse center Lawrence earned his fourth cap, while Sale playmaker Redpath made his Test debut.<\/p>\n
Redpath, the son of former Scotland scrum-half Bryan, had previously been part of Eddie Jones\u2019 senior England set-up but was never capped by making an appearance.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old was lured into the Scotland ranks by head coach Gregor Townsend and duly made his international bow squaring up to his former England age-group center partner.<\/p>\n
Finn Russell slotted a penalty straight in front of the posts to put Scotland into a 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n
Profligate England conceded four quick penalties and were marched continuously backwards as a result, with fly-half Russell eventually posting the opening points.<\/p>\n
Billy Vunipola was sin-binned for a high tackle in the 23rd minute, with England paying the price for major indiscipline.<\/p>\n
The hosts continued to leak penalties at will, with Scotland putting the squeeze on Jones\u2019 men.<\/p>\n
Scotland finally punished England with a try for Duhan Van Der Merwe in the 30th minute, with the wing finishing a smart counter-attack on the left.<\/p>\n
Hooker George Turner held his nerve in the 13 channel to feed Van Der Merwe out wide, but the wing still had a lot of work to do to finish and powered home in style.<\/p>\n
Russell missed the tough touchline conversion but Scotland still led 8-0.<\/p>\n
Russell and Van Der Merwe had only minutes earlier botched a fine opening when the fly-half\u2019s crossfield kick bounced too high and eluded the winger, who was wide open and would have scored had he fielded the chip.<\/p>\n
Owen Farrell finally had England on the board in the 33rd minute, with the home skipper slotting a penalty.<\/p>\n
Scotland still led 8-3 heading into the closing stages of the half however, with England desperately untidy in all aspects of play.<\/p>\n
Scotland fly-half Russell was sin-binned for a trip on England scrum-half Ben Youngs in a blow to the visitors losing their main playmaker.<\/p>\n
Farrell slotted the resulting penalty to cut Scotland\u2019s lead to 8-6.<\/p>\n
Scotland clung to their 8-6 lead until half-time, but Townsend\u2019s men would have to negotiate the majority of Russell\u2019s yellow card when the teams returned after the interval.<\/p>\n
Scotland started the second-half the stronger though, riding out the remainder of that sin-binning before extending their lead.<\/p>\n
Russell returned from his yellow card and his first meaningful act was to slot a penalty to put Scotland 11-6 ahead.<\/p>\n
