Scotland vs England rugby: Kick-off time, TV channel, live stream free and teams for Six Nations match

ENGLAND visit Scotland as they look to get off to a winning start in their Six Nations campaign.

Eddie Jones' men had a horror show as they finished fifth in last year's tournament, and it all started with a first Twickenham defeat to the Scots since 1983.


But they improved dramatically later in the year as they won all three of their Autumn Internationals, including a victory over world champions South Africa.

However, they have more than their share of injuries to contend with going into this game at Murrayfield and are already two captains down.

Owen Farrell has been ruled out of the tournament after sustaining an ankle injury with Saracens, and stand-in Courtney Lawes is also out of the opening game after failing to clear concussion protocol.

Scotland meanwhile will be hopeful of retaining the Calcutta Cup, after winning three of their five matches in last year's Six Nations, including historic away victories against England and France.

And they followed that up in Autumn with a big 15-13 win over Australia. Though, unlike England, they were beaten by South Africa.
