Your support makes all the difference.England and Scotland brought the curtain down on the 2019 Six Nations at Twickenham in one of the most unbelievable international Tests ever seen as they played out a 38-38 draw in the Calcutta Cup.
After just 30 minutes, the game looked done and dusted as England soared to a 31-0 lead, keeping ahead of the clock with tries from Jack Nowell, Tom Curry, Joe Launchbury and Jonny May. However, Scotland managed a response just before the break as Stuart McInally scored a try from charging down Owen Farrell, and it proved to be the catalyst for an almighty comeback.
In 13 destructive second-half minutes, Scotland ran in four more tries - two from Darcy Graham, and one apiece from Magnus Bradbury and Finn Russell - and from out of nowhere the scores were level with 20 minutes to play. When Sam Johnson crossed for Scotland's sixth try of the match, the game looked done and dusted and England were heading towards their first Twickenham defeat against Scotland since 1983, but George Ford's late converted try got the hosts out of jail and salvaged a 38-38 draw with the final play of the game.
