Scotland vs England rugby live stream: Six Nations 2024 results and updates from the Calcutta Cup after Duhan van der Merwe's try

Six Nations: Full Contact trailer

Scotland host the latest edition of the Calcutta Cup when they welcome England to Murrayfield this afternoon in what should be an even and entertaining Six Nations match.

Gregor Townsend's side have been inconsistent through their first two games so far. They raced to a 27-0 lead against a young Wales side in Cardiff to preserve a one-point win. Last time out, they were controversially beaten 20-16 by France when they were denied a dramatic last-gasp winning effort and they will want to rectify that defeat with a stunning win over England.

Steve Borthwick will have to oversee a side that has finished second in this fixture winning across three of the previous four games, but a strong start to the tournament has given them some momentum. Two wins from their matches against Italy and Wales laid the foundation for an unlikely Grand Slam, but England will know they need to improve significantly against Scotland to beat them in their own backyard.

Scotland 17-13 England, 40 minutes

Powerful England kicking for ten meters or so, but a final handling error in a sloppy first half ended it.

Scotland 17-13 England, 38 minutes

Scotland play just outside England's midfield half, twice trying to operate on the outside of that powerful outside attack. England's bowlers get their timing right, closing down Scotland and taking them behind the gain line twice, allowing Henry Slade to slot in a stretched pass up the line.

England's chase is good, but Scotland make a statement. George Ford sends something skyward, and Finn Russell tags it. His kick would give England an attacking platform on the ten meter line.

Scotland 14-10 England, 33 minutes

Almost another for Van der Merwe! This reckless contest continues, as Hugh Jones emerges from the tackle and then charges forward, his big winger contacting the ball first as it spins like a top on a roof. Van der Merwe flies through the penetrations and would almost certainly have been on the ground but for Elliot Daly's outstretched right foot, a vital save from the England winger to deny his rival a hat-trick.

Try! Scotland 14-10 England (Try by Duhan van der Merwe, 30 minutes)

Duhan van der Merwe makes his way down the touchline and runs wide!

What an athlete! It's another English mistake that creates the chance, George Ford's slightly high pass to George Furbank, with a flick of the fingers in the face before ricocheting into the hands of the Scots.

Hugh Jones' feet became more secure and his pass was sharp, putting Van der Merwe in space. Ben Earl is quick at the back rower but nowhere near quick enough to keep up with Van der Merwe in the full lava flow, and the Scottish winger scorches Henry Slade down the corner and stomps into the left corner. Finn Russell transforms.
