LONDON: George Ford rescued England with an 83rd-minute try to secure a 38-all draw with Scotland on Saturday after the Scots had come from 31-0 down to lead 38-31 in one of the most remarkable games in Six Nations history.
They then looked to have snatched their first Twickenham win since 1983 when centre Sam Johnson blasted through four defenders to score in the 76th minute, only for replacement flyhalf Ford to find a way through under the posts at the death. "It shocked us when they got a bit of momentum. We probably allowed them to play a bit too much. We got in a momentum rut and we couldn't get out of it. It was probably more in our control than we thought.
England finished second in the Six Nations standings on 18 points, five behind champions Wales. Scotland, who won only game, against Italy, finished second-last. A lineout catch and drive pushed Curry over for the second in the ninth minute and a bullocking run by prop Kyle Sinckler opened the way for Launchbury to grab the third before a brilliant one-handed offload by Slade gifted May the fourth.
