England Team Roster, Line-up and Preview:
After five wins in twelve games last year, England sacked Eddie Jones (three-time Six Nations winner, including one Grand Slam while in charge for England) in December 2022 and appointed Steve Borthwick. That said, they have an excellent opportunity to kick off their new ear under him with a win when they host Scotland in the first-round game, a fixture they’ve lost the last three times.
England’s squad is disrupted before the first game under Steve Borthwick, and Luke Cowan-Dickie, Courtney Lawes, Henry Slade, Tom Curry, Elliot Daly, and Dan Kelly won’t be able to participate. Ollie Hassell-Collins will be making his debut on the left wing. Jamie George has recovered from concussion and is ready to take charge of his place, with replacement Hooker Jack Walker all set to debut from replacements. Meanwhile, Manu Tuilagi wasn’t called by the new head coach.
Coming to the game, England has won just one of their last five games against them (losing three, drawing one), including the previous two back-to-back defeats. However, they still are favorites to win the clash, given their history and overall record.
