Your support makes all the difference.England take on Scotland at Murrayfield in the Six Nations on Saturday with the Calcutta Cup on the line as well as both side’s championship hopes, with the visitors still looking to claim after their 100 per cent start.
Having seen off Italy and Wales so far, Eddie Jones’ side will look to take their third step towards retaining the Six Nations for a second time and become the first team to win the championship consecutively three times in a row.
But Scotland will have been buoyed by their victory over France last time out that made up for the disappointing 34-7 reverse against Wales on the opening weekend, and with a second consecutive match at home, Gregor Townsend will hope to see a partisan Murrayfield crowd inspire his side to a first victory over the English since 2008 and maintain their own hopes of claiming the title.

52 mins: Scotland are gifted a penalty when Farrell runs miles offside from a Ford clearance kick, and this time Scotland turn down the kick at goal to go to the corner.

54 min: No try! The ball cannoned out of Barclay's hands and Farrell hacked it on, with Watson then smartly chipping the ball behind Hogg for Farrell to run on to and score. But the TMO check comes back to see how the ball came out, and sure enough, it was off Courtney Lawes' hand, resulting in a knock-on. We come all the way back to the England 10m for a Scottish scrum, and that one certainly hurt the English coaching team - who are about five metres away to our left.
57 mins: Changes for both sides. Reid and Gilchrist are off for Scotland with Jamie Bhatti and Tim Swinson on, while Hartley and Brown depart with HJamie George and Jack Nowell on, meaning Watson moves to full-back. Sam Underhill is also on, with Nathan Hughes heading off and Robshaw moving to No 8.
61 mins: England do well to take the pressure from the latest Scotland attack after Launchbury tackled the player at the lineout too early, and when Scotland chip they gather well through May and clear to touch.
63 mins: Ali Price is on, but this time it's Laidlaw heading off in a like-for-like swap and not Finn Russell.
64 mins: Ford and Cole are off and on comes Harry Williams and Ben Te'o for England, shifting Farrell in to fly-half. Scotland win a penalty for Lawes stepping over the ruck and kicking the ball out of Price's hands, and Underhill compounds the error with another penalty for a blatant shoulder charge on Bhatti. Owens wants to check this again, and decides it's worthy of a yellow card. That's 10 minutes in the bin for Underhill and what should be three points for Russell.
