And Cummings, who has made six appearances in the GUINNESS PRO12 so far this season, believes it was Scotland's defensive commitment that made all the difference in the game in Cumbernauld as they kept England tryless.
"That was a fantastic game," he said. "All our boys put in a great shift, and credit to England who came with an excellent scrum and lineout.
"We had to nullify them as best we could and play our game off the back of that, and the Scotland boys made history tonight so I couldn't be prouder of them.
"As soon as that final whistle went I couldn't believe it and didn't really know what to do with myself. It's a really fantastic win and when England were battering away at our line you could see the desire from our boys to keep them out.
"We're taking it one game at a time and not even thinking about a Championship title yet. All we were thinking about this week was England and all we'll be thinking about next week will be Wales.
"This was a great start for us. A lot of the time Scotland comes into these games thinking that maybe we can't do it, but we had a great attitude today.
"We are a very strong team and obviously with the win being against England for the first time ever makes it even better as well."
