Not often that Scotland looks comfortably better than England on paper. Steward and Smith may be big threats though. Interesting matchup
I wouldn’t choose a single English player in a combined 15.
Not even the god on earth Maro Itoje?

No, I’ll just google who’s playing lock for Scotland…..Jonny Gray and Grant Gilchrist ( who I wouldn’t actually know from a bar of soap )
They’ll do. Give me an honest toilet over a dynamic, athletic superstar anyday

English bench to romp home
England by 11-15
Do you even watch rugby bro ?
When barracking for Scottish rugby I find the trembling fingers over my eyes can indeed interfere with the viewing.
But the last time I landed in Scotland they won their game, beating Australia comfortably. Today I am not in Scotland. As their unknown good luck charm, I worry for them. -
Love those flamey things the Scots have when they run out at home.

Scrums taking forever......
-
England 3 Scotland 0.
Not a looker this one so far. England have more about them.
-
Bad defence by Joe Marchant.
Ben White with a try on debut. Scotland 5 England 3.
-
England's defence shredded. Itoje comes up fast and Hogg slips the ball to Graham who wrong-foots the rush defence.
-
England doing quite a lot of dumb shit. Eddie Jones will be tearing his hair out.
-
Brian Moore and Nigel Owens doing a great job as commentary box summarisers. Both men know their onions.
-
Marcus Smith with a penalty. Scotland 7 England 6 after 34 minutes.
-
Finn Russell with a penalty from 40 metres out on the stroke of Half Time.
Scotland 10 England 6 going into a break. England dominated territory and possession in that half but Scotland ahead on the scoreboard.

With Andrew Cotter there, it's hard to find a better trio in the commentary box.
EDIT: Chris Patterson is pretty good too.
-
@victor-meldrew BBC doing a superb job all round of covering this game. Gabby Logan, Martin Johnson, Sam Warburton and John Barclay all good value at half time.
-
Don't worry, Freddie Steward, they have Minties for moments like these.
-
Bit cynical from Scotland there, giving away a penalty right in front rather than the try.
-
Smith with the kick. 10-9.
