Gutsy Scotland A claim England Saxons’ scalp again

Scotland A earned a very gutsy 13-9 win over the England Saxons in Newcastle tonight.
This is the second win in as many years for the Scottish side after their 35-0 last season.
The Scots went off to a flying start when Saracens winger Duncan Taylor crossed the white wash inside the first minute for a brilliant solo finish from a loose George Ford‘s kick.
Tom Heathcote added the extras and Scotland A were leading 7-0.
Ford responded quickly with a penalty but Heathcote added a penalty of his own to see the visitors lead 10-3 after six minutes.
Neither side could put their game in place and Ford added a penalty to trail 10-6 at the break.
Heathcote added a penalty early in the second half before defending their lines hard.
Ford and the Saxons made it a four-point game with eight minutes to go but were unable to score again and Scotland had their win.
