Scotland have made six changes, two positional, from the team which started last weekend’s match against Wales, for our final RBS 6 Nations Championship match against England at Twickenham on Saturday.

Returning after injury is the big-tackling flanker Jason White, which sees the back-row recast with Simon Taylor moving to No 8 and Allister Hogg switching to openside flanker.

Second-half substitutes from last weekend, stand-off Gordon Ross, lock Nathan Hines and scrum-half Mike Blair will all start this time round.

Chris Cusiter was ruled out of selection on account of the Achilles injury he suffered against Wales, so Graeme Beveridge is called onto the bench where he is joined by Stuart Grimes, Jon Petrie and Dan Parks who all started against Wales.

First reaction to the team will appear in the VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS later. You can check out the highlights from the RBS Six Nations Championship so far HERE
