The home side trailed by nine points at the break against Wales but sealed a hard-fought win late on thanks to George Ford’s penalty.
Meanwhile, Scotland nearly blew a huge lead over Wales in their first game before losing to France.

Scotland vs England: What has been said?
Scotland head Gregor Townsend has admitted that back-to-back wins over England at Twickenham are some of the biggest in his career.
He said: “2021 is one of the best wins I’ve been involved in whether as a supporter, player or a coach.
“It was just one of those great days when the team won through playing rugby and also defending really well. It was a very well-deserved victory and it inspired and engaged our supporters.
“We didn’t grind it out, we didn’t win by two points, we won by playing excellent rugby and continuing that in a physical second half.
“But last year, meant so much to me from a personal point of view – I thought it was going to be my last Six Nations, so I was probably more emotional after that game than others I’ve coached.”
