Gregor Townsend: 'Twickenham win could be Scotland's best ever Test result'

Scotland beat England at Twickenham for the first time since 1983 in Saturday's Guinness Six Nations clash.

Gregor Townsend believes Scotland’s first win at Twickenham since 1983 could be the nation’s greatest ever Test victory.

An inspired Scotland stunned insipid England with a gritty performance, shaking off Finn Russell’s yellow card to prevail 11-6 in west London.

Duhan Van Der Merwe’s try and Russell’s two penalties ensured Scotland claimed just their fifth win at Twickenham, condemning error-ridden England to a deserved defeat.

The Exeter full-back also labelled the victory as a boost for a nation just as ravaged by the Covid-19 pandemic as the rest of the UK.

“We’d talked a lot in the last couple of weeks about lifting a nation, and I believe we’ve done that today,” said Hogg.

“This win is a huge deal to us all. During the week we said that if we got everything right on both sides of the ball we’d give ourselves a chance, and we did exactly that.

“I’m incredibly proud of the boys. We believed we could dome down here and win, but we kept that to ourselves.

“It was incredible for us.”
