ENGLAND may be on a run of 12 straight wins, but they travel to Edinburgh for a second-round Six Nations clash against their oldest rivals Scotland today with a point to prove.

An opening 48-7 rout of Wales at Twickenham last weekend underlined England’s credentials as contenders for a first Six Nations title in six years. Steve Borthwick has already set his sights on a Grand Slam clash away to champions France in next month's tournament finale. Nevertheless, wins on the road have proved elusive under the former England captain.

In his 41 Tests as head coach – discounting those on neutral territory during the 2023 Rugby World Cup — Borthwick has overseen just seven away victories. As a result, a win at Murrayfield in the 144th edition of rugby union’s oldest international fixture would represent a significant landmark for England ahead of the 2027 World Cup in Australia.
