What time is England vs Scotland kicking off and what TV channel is Six Nations clash on?

England will resume their Six Nations campaign with a Battle of Britain clash against old rivals Scotland this weekend.

Steve Borthwick’s side revived their title hopes with a dramatic 26-25 victory against pre-tournament favourites France last time out.

England’s Six Nations dreams looked to be in tatters when they found themselves trailing Les Bleus on matchday two, having already lost to defending champions Ireland in their opening game.

However, Elliot Daly’s converted last-minute try snapped a horror run of seven successive defeats against top-tier opposition.

England will now hope to close the gap to runaway leaders Ireland, who thrashed the Scottish 32-18 to continue their impressive start.

Gregor Townsend’s men will take solace from their recent record in the Calcutta Cup, having beaten England in all of their past four meetings.

Scotland have triumphed on both of their last two visits to London, with a three-peat seeing them leapfrog the hosts in the table.

England vs Scotland: What has been said?

Alex Mitchell is itching to make his first appearance against Scotland, having boosted England with his return at scrum-half.

“I think it’s the only team I’ve not played yet. I was injured last year and then I missed out on the first game against Scotland, so I’m actually really, really excited to play against them,” Mitchell said.

“It’s a massive game, and in recent years a massive rivalry. Obviously the last few we’ve not come out on top, but it’s a fantastic game, and for me these are the ones you want to play.

“They’re the biggest games of your career, so personally I can’t wait.

“To finally get back playing and getting results against some of the best teams in the world is a great feeling.”
