Six Nations 2020 - Scotland v England

What is the Calcutta Cup?

It is the oldest of several individual competitions that take place under the umbrella of the Six Nations and is up for grabs when England take on the auld enemy, Scotland.

It was created when the Calcutta Football Club (India), upon deciding to disband in 1878, withdrew the club's remaining funds in silver rupees and commissioned the Cup to be crafted from these.

It was then given to the Rugby Football Union with the intention of it becoming a club trophy equivalent to football's FA Cup, but the RFU decided it would instead become the prize in an annual match between England and Scotland.

Although the Cup was first competed for in 1879, the plates on its base display records dating back to 1871.

Scotland vs England is on Saturday, February 8.

What time is kick-off?

The match starts at 4.45pm GMT.

What TV channel is it on?

The match is on BBC 1 from 4pm. 

What is the latest team news?

England

England will attempt to rescue their Six Nations title quest with a revamped team after Eddie Jones made five changes to the starting XV.

Ben Youngs' demotion to the bench is the biggest call of the major surgery performed in response to the defeat by France.

Youngs has been first-choice scrum-half for virtually the entirety of the Jones era but he has been replaced in the starting XV by Willi Heinz and is limited to supplying cover from the bench.

Flanker Courtney Lawes, prop Joe Marler and lock Charlie Ewels have also paid the price for the first-half collapse at the Stade de France, losing their places to Lewis Ludlam, Mako Vunipola and George Kruis.

The final change is enforced by Manu Tuilagi's absence for at least one match because of a groin strain, creating an opening at outside centre for Jonathan Joseph.

George Furbank endured an error-strewn Test debut in Paris but he survives at full-back and is present as part of an unchanged back three.

There is no Luke Cowan-Dickie on the bench due to his partner going into labour, so Tom Dunn could make his debut as a replacement, as could uncapped Saracens flanker Ben Earl.

Jones had opted for a six-two split of forwards and backs on the bench, pointing to a game-plan of overpowering Scotland up front as England look to bounce back from two comprehensive defeats in succession.

Scotland

Magnus Bradbury has returned to the Scotland line-up. The Edinburgh flanker, who scored in last year's thrilling 11-try Calcutta Cup draw at Twickenham, sat out the Scots' Six Nations opener with Ireland in Dublin due to a thigh strain.

His recall to Gregor Townsend's team in place of club-mate Nick Haining is the only change to the XV which went down 19-12 at the Aviva Stadium.

Haining drops back to the bench, taking Cornell Du Preez's place, while prop Simon Berghan also comes into the replacements for WP Nel.
