Chiefs star Nowell helps England to victory

Exeter Chiefs star Jack Nowell described England’s RBS Six Nations victory over Scotland as “massive” and hopes Eddie Jones’ side can now kick on in the competition.

In a hard fought encounter, Cornishman Nowell claimed his eighth international try as he followed up an earlier score from George Kruis to help England to a 15-9 success. Centre Owen Farrell kicked the remainder of the visiting points with Gloucester scrum-half Greig Laidlaw slotting three penalties for the Scots.

“It’s a massive result for us,” said Nowell post-match.

“There was nothing more important today than getting the win. Murrayfield is a very tough place to come and the conditions weren’t great either, but as Dylan [Hartley] just said, we’ve only been together for two weeks so come out and get the win was awesome.”
