THE LOWDOWN
SCOTLAND
- Scotland were excellent in their clash with France and were on the end of a controversial loss as they were denied a late try which would have handed them a famous success.
- The Scots will aim to put that disappointment behind them in this Calcutta Cup matchup with England and they are buoyed by the return of Blair Kinghorn and Kyle Stern to the backline with both recovering from injury.
ENGLAND
- England made it two wins from two to begin the tournament as they edged a tight affair with Wales and they will be desperate to remain in the hunt for the title as they head to Murrayfield.
- This will be a tough clash with Scotland but the English will be on a high after managing to get the job done against Wales but this will be a much-changed team with five changes to the side that won that contest with Danny Care coming in for the injured Alex Mitchell being the most significant of those.
THE TEAM NEWS
SCOTLAND

Replacements: Theo Dan, Joe Marler, Will Stuart, George Martin, Chandler Cunningham-South, Ben Spencer, Fin Smith, Immanuel Feyi-Waboso
THE PREDICTION
Scotland will feel they should be coming into this game unbeaten having cruelly lost out to France last time out. They will be fuelled by that injustice and there is no better side for them to take it out on as they face old rivals England. The visitors made it two from two thanks to a win over Wales in their most recent contest but this will be a tougher assignment and the hosts are backed to prevail.
TIP: Scotland to win
