Scotland and England fought out their first draw for 21 years when a tryless, error-strewn Six Nations game finished 15-15 at Murrayfield on Sunday morning (NZ time), ending England's outside title hopes.

Two penalties apiece for Dan Parks and Jonny Wilkinson left the teams level before a Parks drop goal gave Scotland a 9-6 halftime lead.

Parks and Wilkinson's injury replacement Toby Flood landed further penalties to take it to 15-15 after 65 minutes and Flood missed the chance to win it when he left a 48-metre penalty short two minutes from time.

England complete their campaign away to championship favourites France next Saturday, while Scotland travel to Ireland.
