Scotland v England LIVE: Result and reaction from Six Nations

Scotland XV: 1 Pierre Schoeman, 2 George Turner, 3 Zander Fagerson; 4 Grant Gilchrist, 5 Scott Cummings; 6 Jamie Ritchie, 7 Rory Darge (co-capt.), 8 Jack Dempsey; 9 Ben White, 10 Finn Russell (co-capt.); 11 Duhan van der Merwe, 12 Sione Tuipulotu, 13 Huw Jones, 14 Kyle Steyn; 15 Blair Kinghorn.

Replacements: 16 Ewan Ashman, 17 Alec Hepburn, 18 Elliot Millar-Mills, 19 Sam Skinner, 20 Andy Christie; 21 George Horne, 22 Ben Healy, 23 Cameron Redpath.

Blair Kinghorn returns to the Scotland side after overcoming injury, with Kyle Steyn also returning to the starting back three having been a late scratch against France due to the impending arrival of his newborn daughter. Former skipper Jamie Ritchie is brought back on the blindside to complement Rory Darge and Jack Dempsey in the back row, with Matt Fagerson out of the squad entirely.

England also switch full-backs, though Freddie Steward’s demotion comes as more of a surprise after a strong performance in the win over Wales. George Furbank is preferred to the Leicester man after an impressive season leading Northampton to the top of the Premiership table, and offers an extra pair of distributing hands with Ollie Lawrence in to add carrying potency in midfield after injury. Danny Care replaces the injured Alex Mitchell at scrum half and wins his 99th cap, while George Martin returns to the bench.

Scotland vs England is due to kick off at 4.45pm GMT on Saturday 24 February.

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on BBC One, with coverage on the channel from 4pm GMT. A live stream will be available via the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website.

Good morning and welcome to The Independent’s coverage of today’s Six Nations action. Ireland host Wales in the afternoon’s early kick off before a huge clash between Scotland and England.

The Scots host the latest edition of the Calcutta Cup still reeling from a controversial defeat to France two weeks ago when they were denied a last minute try to win the game. Gregor Townsend’s side will hope to bounceback against the auld enemy and given their recent record in Six Nations clashes with England they will be very confident.

England, in comparison, have won both of their opening matches though neither win was convincing. A soild and well drilled Italy held them at bay in Rome though Steve Borthwick’s men edged to a 27-24 win. They then needed to fight back against Wales to secure a two-point victory over the Dragons last time out.

Scotland have had the edge in this fixture of late but England may be turning a corner in form and style meaning this one should be a scorcher.

We’ll have all the build-up throughout the day stick with us until kick off at 4.45pm.
