England begin a new era in world rugby as Steve Borthwick leads his men for the first time, and introductions don't get much bigger than a face-off with Scotland at Twickenham.

Borthwick took the reins from Eddie Jones and will be eager to instil clarity into his players ahead of his maiden voyage with the national team.

England won the Six Nations in 2020, but three defeats saw them drop to fifth in 2021 and could only muster third in 2022, with three defeats in each of those tournaments.

Scotland have grown accustomed to fourth spot in the Six Nations with some massive performances, and massive victories over massive teams, usually followed up by shock defeats in recent years.

Gregor Townsend looks set to wrap up as the coach of the team following the World Cup and will be desperate to extract a consistent tune from his squad this time around.
