England vs Scotland match preview
If Steve Borthwick’s appointment was designed to lift the gloom that has shrouded England for months, it had the desired effect. However, the pressure is right back on as they face Scotland at Twickenham today, with the visitors eyeing a third consecutive Calcutta Cup victory, something that last happened 51 years ago – a year before Gregor Townsend’s birth.
Win or lose, Borthwick’s first priority is repairing the relationship with the fans, who booed the team off after their last appearance at the cabbage patch. All too often, poor performances have been blamed on selection dilemmas or injury crises, and while there’s an argument that England really are in the grips of the latter this time, Borthwick is determined to start with a clean slate and no excuses. One of his biggest early calls is dropping Manu Tuilagi, with Joe Marchant preferred to the injury-prone star.
News of the sudden and unexpected availability of Vern Cotter probably wasn’t what Townsend wanted to hear on the eve of what could be his final Six Nations campaign, and it remains to be seen what effect, if any, the update has on a group that has grown accustomed to falling agonizingly short of realizing their potential.
Zander Fagerson isn’t being risked for this clash, but Finn Russell is back in the setup after impressing at the tail-end of last year. Can they finally take the step up to the next level?
It’s grey but otherwise surprisingly balmy at Twickenham today, and you can follow our guide as we explain all the ways to get an England vs Scotland live stream wherever you are – starting withhow towatch the Six Nations for FREEin the UK and Ireland.
