- Finn Russell lost a late conversion after Van der Merwe's last minute
The lack of final touch of Scotland of the TEE was expensive since England kept its six nations alive with a dramatic victory in the Calcututa Cup.
Scotland had the advantage within five minutes when Ben White finished an acute movement, but Tommy Freeman quickly canceled it, who was buried from a short distance. Marcus Smith later became to put England in front.
The Gregor Towsend team continued to use the ball well despite being behind and soon rediscovered its advantage, with Duhan Van Der Merwe in the heart of an attack ending in the corner by Huw Jones in 20 minutes.
Scotland took the three -point advantage with them at the break, but was punished for not turning their attempts when Smith matched with a penalty, before half of the fly in England would break down another with 14 minutes to play to put the hosts in front.
End Smith succeeded from the TEE when England extended its advantage to six, but Van Der Merwe seemed to have won in recent seconds when he crashed to put 16-15.
However, Finn Russell lost his kick to deliver to England a massive respite, with the Scottish suffering a defeat after not being able to find more points of the restart.
