England suffers a crushing 31-20 defeat to Scotland in the Calcutta Cup at Murrayfield. Head coach Steve Borthwick's squad struggles from the start and never finds their rhythm.
Top performer: Ben Earl scores a 7, delivering 23 carries and a well-finished try. Ellis Genge and Joe Heyes each earn a 6 for solid scrummaging, but Genge falters defensively. Maro Itoje manages only a 5.5, lacking impact upon his return.
Sam Underhill struggles, receiving a dismal 4 before halftime. Henry Arundell's night turns chaotic with two yellow cards and a try, rating a mere 4.
The bench sees little improvement, with Jamie George and Bevan Rodd both rated at 4.
With the Six Nations well underway, England faces a critical need for improvement ahead of their next match.
