England v Scotland - As it happened

A triple try from Jonathan Joseph led England's charge as they trounced Scotland by 61-21 at Twickenham on Saturday to retain the Six Nations title and also match New Zealand's world record of 18 consecutive wins.

TWEET OF THE MATCH

"Have to give @EnglandRugby credit - they are playing the best rugby they have all @SixNationsRugby at the moment" - a grudging show of respect from former Scotland skipper David Sole (@davidsole678) after watching the Red Rose equal their biggest-ever win over Scotland.

STAR MAN

Jonathan Joseph - The Bath centre put on a sensational display, with the Scots finding him completely unplayable as he squirmed in for three impressive scores. His seat on the plane taking the British and Irish Lions to New Zealand this summer looks assured.

REF WATCH

French official Mathieu Raynal was pressed into action just a minute and a half into the game as Scotland hooker Fraser Brown dumped English wing Elliot Daly onto his neck. A red card looked justified given the new World Rugby guidelines on dangerous tackles but Raynal only flashed yellow. He was just as lenient soon after when he decided against showing any card to Mario Itoje after the England flanker caught Stuart Hogg high with a flailing arm.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF FOR SCOTLAND

After wins over Ireland and Wales, the Dark Blues set their sights on a first win over England at Twickenham since 1983. But their title hopes evaporated during a disastrous 80 minutes as Brown's indiscipline and a whole host of errors handed victory to the Auld Enemy. Injuries to key men Hogg, Mark Bennett, Tommy Seymour and Ryan Wilson meant they finished with a makeshift line-up barely able to defend itself.
