LONDON — Scotland has surrendered the Calcutta Cup after Finn Russell couldn't convert their three tries and lost to England 16-15 in dramatic fashion at Twickenham. Russell missed his last chance with 20 seconds left in regulation, the angled conversion attempt sailing about a meter wide of the left post. Despite being outscored three tries to one, England held on to win successive nailbiters after the last-gasp home upset of France and kept alive its Six Nations rugby title hopes on Saturday. The bonus was a first home victory over Scotland in eight years. Meanwhile, Scotland's title bid is finished after a second straight loss, and the end of an historic run of four successive wins over England.
