England kept their 100% record in this year’s U20 Six Nations, with an emphatic victory over Scotland.
Campbell Ridl opened the scoring for England, before Fergus Watson hit back almost instantly for Scotland. A big maul gave England back the lead, Kepu Tuipulotu was the scorer.
Scotland got three points back through Jack Brown, but Kane James would power over the line to get England's third, and Tye Raymont a few minutes later would get England's bonus point try. Tuipulotu would get his second before the break, after a couple minutes of TMO.

England started their second half just as they did their first: a storming run gave skipper Tom Burrow his score. The floodgates kept wide open for England, with George Pearson running his own in, and Jack Bracken adding his name to the scoresheet a few minutes later. Scotland weren't done scoring: Oliver Duncan got one back, even if it seemed too late to make a difference.
An Angus Hall try sealed a statement win for England, who kept their grand slam hopes alive. They face Italy next in two weeks time.

15. George Pearson – 8
Key part of a solid England backfield and a few effective line breaks going forward, with a try to reward.

A try to kick off the game and a great runner helped England go forward.

Great scrummaging, as well as some good carries.
