Scotland vs England live stream: Preview
The next game of the 2024 Six Nations for these two teams will take place at the historic Murrayfield Stadium near Edinburgh. The start time is at 4.45pm GMT (11.45am ET / 8.45am PT) today, Saturday 24th February, which is 3.45am AEDT in Australia on Sunday morning.
Go back to halftime in Scotland's opening game and the picture couldn't have been rosier: 20-0 up against Wales and cruising. But after just about managing to hang on to win that game by a single point and then succumbing to a disappointing 20-16 defeat to France at home last time around, and the wind has been seriously taken out of the sails of Gregor Townsend's men.
If there's any match they'll pick themselves back up for, it's today's. Scotland are on a three-game winning streak against the old enemy south of the border, and they'll be determined to still have their hands on the Calcutta Cup come Sunday. To help their cause, Blair Kinghorn and Kyle Steyn are back among the back three, along with wing-forward James Ritchie.
To win it for the first time in four years, Steve Borthwick has brought back some big guns to the squad. Ollie Lawrence is back to partner Henry Slade in the midfield, for example. England may have won two games from two – a pair of close encounters with Italy and Wales – but there is much improvement still to be made if they really do think they can win the Grand Slam this year.
Borthwick was forced into a change at number 9, with the experienced Danny Care coming in for the injured Alex Mitchell. But dropping Freddie Steward in favor of George Furbank at full-back was all his decision. Two new props flank captain Jamie George, with Ellis Genge and Dan Cole both picked.
