Scotland and England renew rivalries this weekend as they kick-start their Six Nations 2022 campaigns in Edinburgh on Saturday.

Gregor Townsend’s men are on the rise and a narrow victory over Australia in the Autumn Internationals last year, on top of Six Nations 2021 victories against France and England, shows they have the talent to challenge any of the elite nations for silverware.

The Scots will be determined to start their tournament in the same fashion as least season as they ground out an 11-6 victory over England in Round 1.

England will be desperate to bounce back from last year’s horror show which saw them finish fifth, only ahead of Italy.

Eddie Jones is under pressure to deliver, and knows the importance of getting off to a flying start. His men enjoyed an excellent autumn with victories over Australia and South Africa in back-to-back weeks.

Scotland v England prediction

This feels like a crucial test for both teams, one of the biggest games of the tournament on the very first day of it.

If Scotland are serious about a bid for the trophy, defeat here would leave them absolutely no room for errors in the next four weeks.

Defeat for England would deflate any confidence that was rebuilt towards the end of 2021 and put Jones under severe pressure. Home advantage could be critical here.
