Read our privacy policy England blew a 31-point lead to end up drawing their Six Nations finale against Scotland, but it could have been much, much worse after George Ford's last-gasp try prevented Eddie Jones' side suffering one of the nation's most embarrassing defeats in their history. Jack Nowell, Tom Curry, Joe Launchbury and Jonny May put England in cruise control, but while no one thought it at the time, Scotland captain Stuart McInally’s try just before the break provided the platform for Scotland to begin what looked to be the biggest Six Nations comeback in history. With 20 minutes remaining, England didn’t look to have a hope in hell of regaining the Calcutta Cup, and when Johnson delivered what should have been the match-deciding moment, collecting a beautiful no-look pass from Russell and dancing his way past Nowell, Daly and Ben Spencer, Scotland looked on course for the biggest comeback in Six Nations history. Teams England: Elliot Daly; Jack Nowell, Henry Slade, Manu Tuilagi, Jonny May; Owen Farrell, Ben Youngs ; Ben Moon, Jamie George, Kyle Sinckler ; Joe Launchbury, George Kruis; Mark Wilson, Tom Curry, Billy Vunipola.
