Six days after Richard Capstick’s last-gasp try downed France in Grenoble, England were made to work hard again before edging out Scotland 21–17 at Myreside to maintain their 100 per cent record.Theo Dan and Freddie Steward struck either side of Ewan Ashman’s 21st minute score to give the visitors a 14–10 lead at half-time.Scotland responded with a penalty try to move ahead in the second half as England went down to 14 men with Ben Donnell sin-binned.But with a 11 minutes remaining Connor Doherty went over for the match-winning try which Manu Vunipola converted.“We knew this would be a tough place to come and that proved to be the case,” Dickens said.“But the players showed great character and composure to win the game.

“But it’s two wins from two which is a great start and now the players get to play in front of home support at Franklin’s Gardens in two weeks’ time and I know they will enjoy that experience.”Scotland head coach Sean Lineen admitted “a few lapses” cost his side dearly as they suffered a second straight defeat following their loss to Ireland last weekend.However, Lineen was delighted with the effort his team showed as they pushed England all the way.“I’m so proud of the boys,” Lineen said.“The way they got stuck-in, both in attack and defence, but like the game against Ireland last week we paid a price for a just a few lapses which let them in for three tries.”“I’m so proud of the boys and the way they got stuck-in, both in attack and defence,” said Lineen. “But like the game against Ireland last week, we paid a price for a just a few lapses which were punished by their classy players and left us too much of a mountain to climb.“But I can’t emphasise enough that the effort all of them put in — guys like Rory Darge, Connor Boyle, Ewan Ashman and Cammy Henderson — was phenomenal. Ollie Smith, too, ran it back really well from full-back.“They never gave up and we blooded a lot of Under-19s players out there as well.“We just ran out of puff at the end.”Their 21–17 victory in Edinburgh followed last weekend’s bonus-point victory over double World Rugby U20 Champions France.England led 14–10 at the break, scoring two converted tries through Theo Dan and Freddie Steward, All Blacks vs Australia rugby live with Scotland crossing via Ewan Ashman while Nathan Chamberlain kicked five points for his side.Scotland were awarded a second-half penalty try, but Connor Doherty’s try won the game for England.It was the hosts who opened the scoring Chamberlain kicking a penalty for his side before England came into the game.And it was England who had the first try, Dan going over in the corner after collecting his own lineout and Vunipola added the extras.Ashman crashed over off the back of a driving maul, which Chamberlain converted for 10–7 at Myreside.However, Steward went over late in the half after England recycled the ball from the right wing to the left and the full back went over in the corner.Scotland had a penalty try on 55 minutes with Ben Donnell also sent to the sin bin as a result.To their credit England held out during that period of being down to 14 men and scored a third try through Doherty who cut a fine line and wriggled through midfield to dot down, which Vunipola converted.It sealed victory with England next taking on Ireland at Franklin’s Gardens, Northampton.
