Clive Woodword slaughters England's Murrayfield mindset as he tells them to ditch 'nonsense' Six Nations celebrations

Sir Clive Woodword has slaughtered England for their mindset at Murrayfield. Scotland piled on the Six nations misery for Steve Borthwick's side with a 30-21 victory.

Duhan van der Merwe's stunning hat-trick and Finn Russell's deadly kicking accuracy claimed a fourth successive Calcutta Cup for Gregor Townsend's team as they reignited their hopes of winning this year's championship after a controversial defeat to France.

England had taken the lead at Murrayfield, but an error-strewn display meant they left the Scottish capital empty handed once again.

And World Cup winning coach Woodword was dismayed at what he say from some players, celebrating minor moments excessively rather than looking to take advantage with quick play.
