‘Raging’ Darcy Graham calls for more against Wales after Scotland’s 20-17 victory over England in opening Six Nations game
- Darcy Graham was left ‘raging’ by Luke Cowan-Dickie’s deliberate slap down

Darcy Graham was left ‘raging’ by Luke Cowan-Dickie’s deliberate slap down, but the Scotland wing said justice had been done as his team sealed back-to-back Calcutta Cup wins for the first time since 1984.
Edinburgh’s Graham was involved in one of the game’s key moments when he competed with Cowan-Dickie for Finn Russell’s cross-kick.
With Graham lurking, the England hooker could only knock the ball forward under pressure. Referee Ben O’Keeffe rightly awarded Scotland a penalty try and sent Cowan-Dickie to the sin bin.

‘I was gutted. I was absolutely raging he slapped it forward,’ said Graham. ‘He made no attempt to get up to catch it, so it was the right decision and a penalty try all day long.
‘As a Scottish boy you don’t get any bigger than playing England. We have won Calcutta Cup games in the past and not backed it up. This is a huge opportunity. We have started very well so let’s go on and do something very special.’
Scotland also started the last Six Nations with victory over England, but then followed the win with a home defeat at the hands of Wales.
