England prepares for the Calcutta Cup against Scotland, featuring Fin Smith at fly-half and Marcus Smith at full-back.

England is gearing up for a pivotal showdown against Scotland in the Calcutta Cup, part of the Six Nations 2025. Fin Smith has been named the starting fly-half, showcasing his playmaking abilities after a standout performance against France. His ability to facilitate play has earned him this crucial role, while Marcus Smith will take on the full-back position, a strategic move that could enhance England`s attacking options.

The England squad features key players such as Ollie Lawrence, Henry Slade, and Maro Itoje, all of whom are vital to the team`s success. This match is particularly significant as England aims to break a four-year losing streak against Scotland in this historic rivalry. Coach Steve Borthwick`s recent victory over France has injected fresh confidence into the team, with Elliot Daly`s late try and Fin Smith`s conversion marking a turning point after a series of narrow defeats.

As the anticipation builds for the Calcutta Cup clash, the tactical decisions surrounding the Smith brothers will be closely scrutinized, with fans eager to see how this dynamic unfolds on the pitch.
