Scotland v England Preview

Scotland and England meet in the second match of the 2012 Six Nationson Saturday 4th February as they go head-to-head for the Calcutta Cup once more. England start the match as favourites in the betting but it is well worth remembering that Scotland will be roared on by a vociferous Murrayfield crowd, while England are going through a rebuilding stage after the World Cup debacle. They earned a barely deserved win over Scotland at the World Cup and Andy Robinson's men will be looking for swift vengeance.....

Last Year: Scotland 6 - 13 England, 4th February 2012 at Murrayfield

A new look England side got off to a winning start at Murrayfield as they made Scotland pay for missed opportunities. Owen Farrell kicked eight points on his England debut and Charlie Hodgson crossed the tryline, but Scotland were left wondering how they didn't win after missed a series of presentable try scoring chances.
