England Vs Scotland Rugby Stats

This weekend will see another edition of one of the oldest international rivalries in all of world sport.

England and Scotland faced off in the very first international rugby match back in 1871, with Scotland winning 1-0.

The two sides play each other at least once a year, during the Six Nations Championship.

They have also met twice at the Rugby World Cup – in 1991 and 2011 – both of which were England victories.

England Vs Scotland Head-To-Head Record

Although Scotland lay claim to winning the first-ever international rugby match, it’s England who hold the bragging rights overall.

In the 142 meeting between them, England have won 76 to Scotland’s 47, with 19 draws.

The 1938 Calcutta Cup match between England and Scotland was the first rugby fixture to be televised live.

England may have the best record overall, but it’s Scotland who have been on top more recently.

The Scots have won five of the last seven meetings, with one England win and one draw.

Scotland have never won five in a row against the English, meaning they will set a new record if they win at the weekend.

England’s best run of victories over Scotland was ten in a row from 1991-2000.
