England surge to Six Nations win
England 61-21 Scotland. By David Nicholson at Twickenham

A TRIUMPHANT England won the Six Nations Championship, the Triple Crown and Calcutta Cup for a second successive year in a comprehensive demolition of Scotland on Saturday.

Remember this was supposed to be a visiting side that had a realistic chance of beating England and reversing decades of misery at Twickenham.

Scotland talked the talk in the build-up, but were left limping not walking after a brutal encounter against a team which had far greater power, precision and ingenuity across the field.
