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.
