Steve Borthwick has taken over from Eddie Jones and will be keen to get his ideas across to the squad in a swift manner with a huge year of rugby ahead.

The Six Nations is a colossal event in its own right, but a World Cup year brings added pressure, with Borthwick determined to kick-start his reign in positive style at Twickenham this Saturday.

England face Scotland for the Calcutta Cup at the weekend. The Scots are aiming to make it three consecutive Six Nations victories over their great rivals.
