Scotland vs England today Saturday, February 24, is the latest instalment of one of the fiercest rivalries in the 2024 Six Nations. The Auld Enemy have contested the Calcutta Cup for 144 years – no international rugby union trophy is older – but this edition has more than visceral national pride on the line. Don't miss it.

Gregor Townsend has made three changes to his Scotland side, with Blair Kinghorn, Kyle Steyn and Jamie Ritchie all returning to the XV. Jack Dempsey keeps his place at number eight, with Finn Russell and Ben White set to continue their half-back form. By contrast, England shuffle their pack, with George Furbank surprisingly replacing Freddie Steward at full-back and Danny Care, Ollie Lawrence, Dan Cole and Ellis Genge also coming in. Manu Tuilagi is fit enough for the bench.

The full teams are...

Scotland: Blair Kinghorn; Kyle Steyn, Huw Jones, Sione Tuipulotu, Duhan van der Merwe; Finn Russell, Ben White; Pierre Schoeman, George Turner, Zander Fagerson, Grant Gilchrist, Scott Cummings, Jamie Ritchie, Rory Darge, Jack Dempsey

England: George Furbank; Tommy Freeman, Henry Slade, Ollie Lawrence, Elliot Daly; George Ford, Danny Care; Ellis Genge, Jamie George, Dan Cole, Maro Itoje, Ollie Chessum, Ethan Roots, Sam Underhill, Ben Earl

Scotland couldn't be more up for this. The Tartan Army have had two weeks to process the controversial late TMO decision that denied them what appeared a perfectly good try to beat France, ultimately falling to 20-16 defeat having led for much of the game. Gregor Townsend's have won their past three outings against the Auld Enemy Electric and will ally that sense of injustice to the usual pulse-quickening prospect of putting one over their rivals from south of Hadrian's Wall. Winger extraordinaire Kyle Steyn should return after missing the France game after his wife went into labor, while full-back Blair Kinghorn has been training all week and could also make a start. They're favorites, with fly-half Finn Russell pulling the strings.

Much has been made of England's teething troubles as they adapt to new assistant coach Felix Jones' preferred blitz defense, but the Red Rose have nevertheless found ways to win two out of two Six Nations games thus far. Come-from-behind victories of Italy and Wales put Steve Borthwick's side second in the table but if they are to improve on a run of one win in six against a vibrant Scotland, they must beef up their attacking output to match number eight Ben Earl's tournament excellence. Center pair Manu Tuilagi and Ollie Lawrence, plus forward George Martin, have been back in training to offer powerful alternatives, while Danny Care should replace the injured Alex Mitchell at scrum-half.
