Following the game, Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend said: “I think we probably wouldn’t have thought we’d be in this position after the first match,” 

“To get bonus points against some quality teams, England and France were probably in the top three in the world coming into this tournament, certainly when they played us.

“So to get four and seven tries and get maximum points against them was great.

“We’ve given ourselves an opportunity. It’s not all in our hands because France will play after us. We’ll just make sure we target that Ireland game and do all we can to win and see what happens after.”
