England prepares to face Scotland for the Calcutta Cup after a thrilling win over France.

England is set to clash with Scotland in Round 3 of the 2025 Guinness Men`s Six Nations, with the prestigious Calcutta Cup on the line. Under the guidance of coach Steve Borthwick, England enters this pivotal match following a dramatic 26-25 victory over France, where Elliot Daly`s last-minute try and Fin Smith`s conversion secured a thrilling win. This triumph came after a narrow defeat to Ireland in their opening match, where they lost 27-21.

The highly anticipated match will take place at Twickenham on Saturday, 22 February, with a kick-off scheduled for 16:45, and fans can catch the action live on ITV. In their previous encounter, Scotland emerged victorious, defeating England 30-21, adding extra motivation for the English side to reclaim the Calcutta Cup.

With Ireland currently leading the tournament with a perfect record, SportyTrader predicts England to finish as runners-up, while France, Scotland, Italy, and Wales follow in the standings. England`s upcoming fixtures appear more manageable after facing the early favorites, Ireland and France. Key players like Elliot Daly, Tommy Freeman, Fin Baxter, and Ollie Lawrence will be crucial in this match against a resilient Scottish team, which has shown strong performances despite their recent loss to Ireland.

Calcutta Cup and Six Nations are at stake as England aims to bounce back against their rivals.
