SCOTLAND vs ENGLAND GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2020

HEAD TO HEAD

- England hold the overall head-to-head advantage with Scotland in the Guinness Six Nations, tasting victory in 14 of their 20 meetings (D2, L4).

- Scotland and England drew 38-38 when they met in last year’s Six Nations, the highest-scoring draw in Test history and saw Scotland tie the game despite trailing by 24 points at half-time, the biggest deficit any team has pulled back in a Five/Six Nations game.

- England have failed to win either of the sides’ last two meetings in the Guinness Six Nations - the only time in the 20 meetings this has happened. Scotland last went unbeaten in three straight fixtures between the 1982 and 1984 Champi- onships (W2, D1).

- Aside from the 38-apiece draw that took place in the final round of the 2019 Guinness Six Nations, England have always gone on to beat Scotland when scoring more than 15 points.

- Scotland have scored 21 points or more in each of their last three Guinness Six Nations meetings with England, having done so just once in their previous 17 clashes in the Championship.

- England have won five of the ten Guinness Six Nations meetings between the sides in Scotland, while Scotland have notched four wins. Their lone draw in took place in March 2010 (15-15).

COMMON STATISTICS

- Among the five nations who scored in round one of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations, no side had lower points return per opposi- tion 22 entry than Scotland (0.38) and England (1.40). Every other scoring team managed at least 2.6 points per opposition 22 entry.

- England and Scotland had vastly differing fortunes at the gain line in the opening round of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations, as Scotland made ground with 63.4% of their carry attempts compared to England’s lowly 40.2%. England made negative metres with 31.4% of their carry attempts at the gain line in round one, as Scotland were knocked back in just 18.3% of their attempts.

- Both of England’s tries against France were originated from the lineout - the leading source of their tries in the 2019 Champi- onship also (37.5%). Scotland conceded their only try of the game against Ireland via the lineout which was also their leading source of try concessions in the 2019 Guinness Six Nations (35.3%).

- England made 21 dominant tackles in round one, as 15.6% of their total tackles were dominant - the highest percentage over the opening round of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations. While Scotland made the most dominant tackles (22) in round one of the Championship, their dominant tackle percentage trailed England (11.7%).

SCOTLAND STATISTICS

- Scotland are without a win in their last five Guinness Six Nations games (D1, L4), having won nine of their previous 14 matches in the Championship.

SCOTLAND vs ENGLAND GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2020

SCOTLAND STATISTICS

- Scotland have scored just 24 points combined in their last two home games in the Guinness Six Nations (L2). They scored 25 points or more in each of the seven home Guinness Six Nations matches before this run - winning each of those games, which is their longest winning run at home in the history of the competition.

- Scotland (56%) trailed only England (66%) in terms of territorial advantage in round one of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations - a replication of the 2019 figures, in which Scotland (50.2%) were the only side other than England (57.9%) to boast territorial ad- vantage for the Championship.

- led all players in terms of tackle breaks (4) in round one of the Guinness Six Nations, twice as many as any other player. It was the most tackle breaks he has managed in a single game in the Championship.

- Scotland are the only team to have three different players make more than 10 defensive breakdown arrivals in round one of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations, led by (12). Zander Ferguson tallied 11 each.

ENGLAND STATISTICS

- England lost their opening game of this year’s Championship, against France. They have lost their opening two fixtures in a campaign only once in the Guinness Six Nations era (2005).

- England have lost five of their last seven away games in the Guinness Six Nations (W2), including their last two in a row. They have not gone three games without a win away from home in the Championship since 2008-2009, a run that started with a 15-9 defeat against Scotland.

- Owen Farrell is 20 points away from reaching 900 points for England in Test rugby, a total only (1,179) has reached. Farrell’s highest haul in an international match came against Scotland in 2017 when he kicked for 26 points (7 conver- sions, 4 penalties).

- Maro Itoje (6) led all players in terms of dominant tackles in round one of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations. It’s the second con- secutive year an English player has led this metric after the opening weekend, as (9) was last year’s opening round dominant tackler.

- England led all nations in terms of possession during the opening round of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations with 57.0%, despite finishing last in the same metric for the 2019 Championship (45.8%).
