Classic Scottish weather should have given the home side an edge but they showed a distinct inability to make their chances count allowing England to snatch victory late on

It was 28 degrees in Cape Town on Saturday just as Stuart Hogg kicked proceedings off with the rain all but horizontal. The possibility of South Africa joining the Six Nations is an idea that clearly polarises opinion but it can be said with certainty that it presents an altogether different proposition to this.

“Classic Scottish weather,” said Hogg on the eve of the match. “We’ll have a few tricks up our sleeve,” he continued. For the second week running, he and his coach, Gregor Townsend, will lament an inability to make one of them count.
