The scoring breakdown was as follows: Jones scored two tries, while Ritchie and White each added one. Russell successfully converted four and also kicked a penalty.

England's points came from tries by Arundell and Earl, with Ford converting one and kicking two penalties.

Following their Six Nations loss to Italy the previous week, Scotland rebounded with a bonus-point victory over England in the Calcutta Cup at Murrayfield, in a match that was both intense and thrilling.

Led by the exceptional Finn Russell, Scotland played with a relentless intensity that left England struggling to cope.

Despite facing criticism prior to the match, Gregor Townsend's team made a strong start, taking a 17-0 lead within the first quarter of an hour.

Russell kicked a penalty, and Jones, Ritchie, and White scored tries, while England's response consisted of a converted try by Arundell and a penalty by Ford.

Arundell's match was marked by two yellow cards in the first half, resulting in England playing with 14 men for 30 minutes, during which time Scotland scored 14 points.

At halftime, Scotland held a 24-10 lead, which Ford narrowed early in the second half with a penalty, before Jones scored his second try after a charged-down Ford drop goal attempt.

Unlike in previous matches, Scotland maintained their intensity and did not let their lead slip, as they effectively countered England's pressure with strong defense and counterattacks.

Although Earls scored a late try to reduce the deficit, it had little impact on the outcome, as Murrayfield celebrated a convincing Scottish victory.

The loss marked a significant setback for England, who had been seeking their 13th consecutive win and first victory in Edinburgh since 2020.

Finn Russell played a crucial role in Scotland's win, demonstrating his skill and vision throughout the match.

After a disappointing performance in Rome, Scotland delivered a strong reaction, showcasing their intensity, accuracy, and ruthlessness from the outset.

The match began with Russell kicking an early penalty, which set the tone for Scotland's dominant start, as they played direct and physical rugby that England struggled to match.

Arundell's first yellow card, received within 10 minutes, proved costly for England, as Scotland capitalized on the numerical advantage, with Russell orchestrating the attacks.

Russell's clever playmaking created a try-scoring opportunity, which Jones exploited by sprinting past Maro Itoje after receiving a one-handed pass from Russell.

The Scottish fly-half extended the lead to 10-0, and his team continued to build momentum, addressing the lack of ruthlessness that had hindered them in Rome.

In their next attack, Scotland demonstrated their speed and skill, as Sione Tuipulotu's long pass found Ritchie on the left wing, and the blindside scored with ease.

Russell's conversion made it 17-0, and England, who had been heavy favorites, found themselves reeling from the intense Scottish start.

England eventually gained some traction, with their dominant scrum and powerful runners allowing them to penetrate Scotland's 22, and Arundell scored a try after a delayed pass from Ford.

Ford reduced the deficit to seven points with a penalty, but Scotland quickly responded with their third try, sparked by Russell's inventive play.

The Scottish fly-half's ingenuity created an opportunity, as he evaded several defenders and kicked the ball while falling, and Ellis Genge's error allowed White to score a try.

Russell's conversion extended the lead to 14 points, and Arundell's second yellow card, received just before halftime, further compounded England's difficulties.

The wing's indiscretion, which resulted in a 20-minute red card, left England facing an uphill task in the second half.

England's scrum superiority allowed them to narrow the gap early in the second half, with Ford kicking a penalty, but Scotland's defense held firm.

As England applied pressure, Scotland's defense remained solid, and Ford opted to take a drop goal, which backfired when Fagerson charged down the kick.

The loose ball was scooped up by Fagerson, who fed Jones, and the Scottish center scored his second try, securing a bonus point for his team.

Russell's conversion extended the lead to 18 points, and England's attempts to reduce the deficit were ultimately unsuccessful.

Although England emptied their bench and introduced several heavy hitters, they could only manage a late try by Earl, converted by Ford, which reduced the deficit to 11 points.

The final score reflected Scotland's dominant performance, as they secured a well-deserved victory, with the home fans celebrating a memorable win.

The Scotland team consisted of: Jordan, Steyn, Jones, Tuipulotu, Dobie, Russell, White; McBeth, Turner, Z Fagerson, Brown, Cummings, Ritchie, Darge, Dempsey.

The former "chief mouser" of the Foreign Office, Palmerston, has passed away in Bermuda, as reported by his social media account.

Prior to his retirement in 2020, Palmerston spent four years serving at Whitehall, having initially been adopted from Battersea Cats and Dogs home.

In a surprise move, Palmerston's social media account announced in February 2025 that he had come out of retirement to take on a new role as a "feline relations consultant" in Bermuda, approximately 3,500 miles from his previous posting.

A tribute was paid to Palmerston on his X account, announcing his peaceful passing on February 12, remembering him as a "Diplocat extraordinaire".

According to the post, Palmerston was a beloved member of the Government House team in Bermuda and a cherished family member, known for his gentle nature and companionship, and will be deeply missed.

Named after the 19th-Century Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister Viscount Palmerston, the black-and-white cat began his diplomatic career in 2016.

During the Covid pandemic, Palmerston relocated from the central London building, and subsequently retired from service in 2020.

Upon his retirement, a letter addressed to Lord Simon McDonald, the then-most senior civil servant at the Foreign Office, stated that Palmerston had been enjoying a more relaxed life, climbing trees, and patrolling fields, and wished to spend more time away from the public eye.

The letter, signed in Palmerston's name, expressed his contentment with the quieter life, saying, "I have found life away from the frontline to be more relaxed, easier, and quieter".

Palmerston's social media account claimed that he was coaxed out of retirement by a new role with Bermuda's governor, Andrew Murdoch, with whom he had been living since his initial retirement, prompting celebration among his 99,000 social media followers.

Tributes to Palmerston have been led by his former rival, Larry, the chief mouser at Number 10, who is marking 15 years in the position, having served under six prime ministers.

A farewell message was posted by Larry's unofficial X account, reading, "Farewell old friend x".

Palmerston and Larry were rumored to have had a long-standing feud, with several publicized altercations during their time in Westminster.

With 743 appearances under his belt, Harry Kane has achieved a milestone of 500 goals in his professional career.

A historic feat has been accomplished by Harry Kane, who has become the first English player to score 500 professional goals in official matches.

On Saturday, the Bayern Munich forward reached this milestone by scoring twice against Werder Bremen.

In December, Kane had already surpassed Jimmy Greaves' record of 474 goals, solidifying his position as the highest-scoring Englishman.

This season has been remarkable for Kane, with 26 goals in 22 Bundesliga games, and it's only February.

An analysis of Kane's goal-scoring record and potential future achievements will be examined by BBC Sport.

Kane's professional football career began 15 years ago when, at 17, he scored his first goal for Leyton Orient against Sheffield Wednesday.

During his time at Leyton Orient, he scored five goals, followed by two for Leicester, nine for Millwall, 280 for Tottenham, and currently has 126 goals for Bayern Munich.

Kane is also England's all-time leading scorer, with 78 goals for the national team.

The majority of his goals have been scored in the Premier League, with 213, followed by 89 in the Bundesliga, and a notable record in the Champions League.

As the highest-scoring English player in European club competition, Kane has 48 goals, surpassing Wayne Rooney's total by 18.

Kane has demonstrated his versatility by scoring in every competition he has participated in.

Jimmy Greaves' record as the highest-scoring Englishman stood for 60 years until Kane surpassed it two months ago.

Upon leaving the Premier League, Kane was the second-highest scorer, behind Alan Shearer's record of 260 goals.

According to the International Federation of Football History & Statistics, the all-time list of English scorers has Kane and Greaves at the top, followed by Steve Bloomer, Alan Shearer, and Dixie Dean.

The rankings continue with Wayne Rooney in sixth place, having scored 360 top-level goals.

A significant portion of Kane's goals, approximately one-fifth, have come from penalty kicks.

In open play, Kane is highly effective inside the box, having scored 349 goals from this area.

The majority of his goals, 318, have been scored with his right foot, and 94 have been headers.

The goal that brought Kane to 500 was unusual, as it was scored from distance, one of only 49 such goals in his career.

Kane achieved the 500-goal milestone in 743 appearances for both club and country.

In comparison to Cristiano Ronaldo, who reached 500 goals in 753 games in 2015, Kane achieved this milestone in 10 fewer appearances.

However, Lionel Messi holds the record for the fastest achievement of 500 goals, reaching the milestone in 632 games.

Messi achieved this feat in April 2016, 111 games faster than Kane and 121 games faster than Ronaldo.

Having already become England's record scorer, Kane has opportunities to break additional records at the club level.

The record for most goals in a single Bundesliga season is held by Robert Lewandowski, who scored 41 goals in the 2020-21 season.

With 12 games remaining, Kane is well-positioned to surpass this record, having already scored 26 goals.

In European competition, Kane could break his own record for most goals scored by an English player in a single Champions League campaign, having scored 11 last season and currently having eight goals.
