England seeks to build on their victory over France as they prepare for the Calcutta Cup against Scotland.

England`s rugby team is on a high after a nail-biting 26-25 victory against France at Twickenham, propelled by Elliot Daly`s last-minute converted try. This win has set the stage for their upcoming clash against Scotland in the prestigious Calcutta Cup on Saturday, 22nd February.

The stakes are high as England looks to build momentum following their recent success, while Scotland aims to extend their dominance, having won the last four encounters against England. Notably, Scotland`s historic win at Twickenham in 2021 and their 30-21 victory at Murrayfield last year add to the tension of this rivalry.

In the current Six Nations standings, Ireland leads with two wins, including a 27-22 triumph over England in the first round. England, with one win and one loss, is eager to reclaim their position, while Scotland shares a similar record. Key players for England include Tom Curry, who is returning to full training, and the promising half-back duo of Fin Smith and Marcus Smith. The front row battle will be crucial, featuring England`s Ellis Genge, Luke Cowan-Dickie, and Will Stuart against Scotland`s Pierre Schoeman, Dave Cherry, and Zander Fagerson.

As the match approaches, England aims to end their losing streak against Scotland, with statistics showing they have made the most kicks in play and won the most turnovers in the tournament thus far.
