This Six Nations is Townsend’s last chance to blood new talent and tweak his backline formula before the World Cup, starting off with a trek to Twickenham to face the old foe. Scotland bear the unfamiliar weight of two Calcutta Cup wins in a row against England after their historic victory in the English heartlands last Six Nations. Tempering that enthusiasm is the team’s poor Autumn Nations performance which has some doubting the squad’s current form.
Scotland Rugby fans are eager to watch Gregor Townsend’s squad face off against England and make it three-for-three. If Townsend can solve the intangible equation of Scotland’s inconsistent form, this weekend could see Scotland’s first three-year stint retaining the Calcutta Cup in more than 50 years.
