And in last year’s Six Nations, the Scots came from 31-0 down at half time to the brink of achieving their first win at Twickenham since 1983.
In an incredible second half revival, Scotland powered into a 38-31 lead before George Ford crossed the line four minutes after the 80 were up to earn England a 38-38 draw.
