Seven-try England win Calcutta Cup

England 43 Scotland 22

Jamie Noon scored a hat-trick of tries as England beat Scotland to win the Calcutta Cup at Twickenham.

England ran in seven tries in total as they finished a frustrating RBS 6 Nations campaign with a flourish.

England opened a 26-3 lead as Noon scored two well-worked tries, Joe Worsley powered over in the corner and Josh Lewsey exploited a break from Mark Cueto.

But Scotland, as they did last week against Wales, staged a spirited fightback and scored either side of the interval through winger Sean Lamont and centre Andy Craig.

Harry Ellis dived over for his first Test try to halt Scotland’s charge but then fed Simon Taylor who ran 40-yards untouched to keep the visitors in touch.

But Noon’s third and a deserved score for Cueto secured England’s victory.
