The 2021 Six Nations has been blown wide open on the first day after Scotland stunned England in Twickenham.
Gregor Townsend's charges dominated England in an 11-6 win, tasting their first success away to their rivals in over 38 years.
With France picking up a comprehensive victory over Italy earlier today, the result signals an opportunity for Andy Farrell's Ireland to set up a potential Grand Slam charge in Cardiff tomorrow.
Scotland pulled off just their fifth win at Twickenham and their first since 1983 courtesy of a gritty second-half display to prevail.
Both Russell and Stuart Hogg missed second-half penalties, but the visitors still hung on for a historic victory.
A Finn Russell penalty in either half, as well as a a try for Duhan Van Der Merwe in the 30th minute, was enough to get the job done.
In a smart counter-attack on the left, hooker George Turner held his nerve in the 13 channel to feed Van Der Merwe out wide, but the wing still had a lot of work to do to finish and powered home in style.
Russell and Van Der Merwe had only minutes earlier botched a fine opening when the fly-half’s crossfield kick bounced too high and eluded the winger, who was wide open and would have scored had he fielded the chip.
