Scotland produced a remarkable second-half comeback to win 26-23 at Principality Stadium and deny Wales a first Guinness Men’s Six Nations win. Tries from Rhys Carre and Josh Adams combined with Sam Costelow’s excellent kicking had given the hosts a well-earned 12-point lead at the break. But three scores in the second 40 minutes from Finn Russell, Darcy Graham and George Turner turned the game on its head to give Scotland their second win of this year’s championship.

England’s 12-game winning streak came shuddering to a halt as they crashed to their heaviest Calcutta Cup defeat in eight years at the hands of fired-up Scotland. The Scots’ four-try triumph at Murrayfield – in which England wing Henry Arundell was shown two yellow cards in the first half – was their biggest victory in the fixture since 2018. It was particularly timely for embattled head coach Gregor Townsend, who had come under intense pressure after a grim 18-15 defeat by Italy.

Pressure mounted on Gregor Townsend as Scotland suffered a disastrous Guinness Six Nations start by losing 18-15 to Italy in rain-lashed Rome as the hosts picked up steam before their trip to Dublin next weekend. The fired-up Azzurri raced into a 12-point lead within 14 minutes and the Scots – with back-three big-hitters Blair Kinghorn, Darcy Graham and Duhan van der Merwe all dropped amid question marks over their form – were unable to get their attack firing in response, while their set-piece continually malfunctioned.

France secured the Six Nations championship with a flourish – and quashed England’s hopes – by ultimately overpowering a dogged Scotland in Paris. Four French tries did not just secure the title in terrific style, it also brought their tally to 30 across the five games – a new Six Nations record, breaking a mark set by the English in 2001. Fabien Galthie’s team roared into an early 10-0 lead thanks to the first of Yoram Moefana’s two tries and a penalty from Thomas Ramos, who later surpassed Frederic Michalak as France’s all-time top points scorer.

England edged towards the business end of the Six Nations in contention for the title as Finn Russell missed a 79th-minute conversion and Scotland’s Calcutta Cup winning streak ended at Allianz Stadium. Tries from Ben White and Huw Jones gave the dominant visitors a three-point half-time lead, but England hung in the fight and got the better of the breakdown after the break. A late Duhan van der Merwe try gave Russell the opportunity to win the game but the Scottish captain fluffed his lines.
