Six Nations 2026: England’s Maro Itoje returns to starting XV for Scotland game

by

England travel north on a run of 12 straight wins, while Scotland’s stuttering form from the autumn continued as they were edged out by Italy in Rome.

Pre-tournament favourites England and France both won at a canter in the opening round, meaning a final-day meeting between the sides in Paris looms large.

However, number eight Ben Earl insists England’s sole focus is on reversing a poor run of form in Scotland.

England have failed to win at Murrayfield for six years, their last victory coming in a 13-6 scrap in a storm in 2020.

“I promise you no-one is talking about Paris in our camp,” he told the Rugby Union Weekly podcast.

“No-one. We said in our huddle [after Wales]: ‘Well done, but we haven’t won at Murrayfield for years.’

“We have got to right some wrongs.”
