Scotland 's Six Nations campaign got off to a dream start on Saturday when they beat England 20-17 to seal successive wins over their bitter rivals for the first time since 1984.
Replacement scrum-half Ben White scored the game's opening try while on as a short-term substitute for Ali Price. Their other score came in the form of a penalty try thanks to Luke Cowan-Dickie's intervention, while Marcus Smith scored all 17 of England's points in Edinburgh.
Gregor Townsend's men followed up last year's historic victory at Twickenham by collecting a rare set of back-to-back wins in this fixture, denying Marcus Smith a dream Six Nations debut.
Tom Curry's first match as England's stand-in captain also went against the Sale Sharks star as England fell in Edinburgh, falling short in their efforts despite starting out at an electric pace.
Smith set his side on the right path after converting a penalty on the 16-minute mark, but Scotland hit back in ideal fashion as Darcy Graham breezed through English lines barely 60 seconds later.
White had come on for his debut while Price underwent a head-injury assessment, and the London Irish star ran the perfect support line to gather Graham's offload and soar over the line.

Narrow margins separated the two teams as the wet conditions at Murrayfield made for an at times messy encounter, though the Scottish defence held up superbly under substantial pressure.
Smith fired over a more routine penalty to close the gap on England's hosts not long before the break, though it was Scotland who laughed last as Finn Russell converted a 40-metre penalty to close out the half.
The pendulum of penalties continued when Smith resumed the scoring with a close-range kick to restart, and the Harlequins talisman proceeded to lead by example when he grabbed England's first try after 52 minutes.
Making the most of a scrum penalty, England kicked deep into the Scottish 22' and capitalised off the line-out, with Smith sauntering between defenders to squeeze over in the left corner.
Though unable to add the extras, his score ensured England led for only the second time on the day, struggling to make as much impact despite boasting a greater share of possession for the most part.
That was Smith's last act before coming off in place of George Ford, with the Leicester Tigers talisman making his first international appearance since last year's disappointing Six Nations.
That change didn't have the momentum-swinging effect Jones hoped for, however, as Luke Cowan-Dickie gave up a penalty try for intentionally knocking a Scottish cross-field kick away from Graham and into touch.
Not to be done there, however, Russell proceeded to kick Russell back ahead with a short-range penalty, setting up a grandstand finish for the closing phases.
The decision to kick for touch and not take a shot at goal soon after will have reminded some of Chris Robshaw's identical decision when England trailed Wales by three at the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
It led to the same end result, too, as Scotland held off late scrum drama to regather and kick the ball to touch, holding their nerve in sensational style to see out the result.
Things promise to get a lot easier for England when they travel to Italy next Sunday (Feb. 13) in what will be a key opportunity to possibly boost their points difference.
It's possible Jones could have forwards Courtney Lawes and Jonny Hill back among his selection for that clash, which would provide some very welcome punch up front.
Scotland, meanwhile, visit Wales at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Saturday (Feb. 12) as Townsend's men seek to build some momentum in the tournament.
Ireland currently lead the Six Nations standings after they beat Wales 29-7 earlier on Saturday, though France will be expected to sail to the summit when they host Italy on Sunday.
SCOTLAND- Tries: White, Penalty. Cons: Russell. Pens: Russell 2.
ENGLAND- Tries: Smith. Pens: Smith 4.
