England`s rugby team aims to build on their thrilling win over France as they prepare for Scotland in the Six Nations.

England`s rugby team is currently competing in the Six Nations 2025 tournament, showcasing resilience after an initial setback. Following a defeat to Ireland in their opening match, England rallied to secure a thrilling 26-25 victory over France at Allianz Stadium, highlighted by Elliot Daly`s dramatic try in the 79th minute. This crucial win has significantly boosted the team`s confidence as they prepare for their next challenge.

Players like Alex Mitchell and Ollie Sleightholme have expressed their determination to build on this momentum. With England now level on six points with France and trailing leaders Ireland by four points, the stakes are high as they look ahead to their upcoming match against Scotland on February 22 at Twickenham Stadium. This clash is particularly significant as England aims to end a four-year winless streak against Scotland in the Calcutta Cup, having won just one of their last seven encounters.

The squad, featuring talents from Northampton such as Alex Mitchell, Fin Smith, and Tommy Freeman, is gearing up with a focus on physicality, aerial dominance, and breakdown efficiency. The upcoming match promises to be a pivotal moment in England`s Six Nations campaign, as they seek to reclaim pride and assert their dominance in this historic rivalry.
