Jack Clifford and Henry Slade have been cut from last week’s squad, with Billu Vunipola and Jonathan Joseph restored.
How do you think England will line up?
I wouldn’t mind seeing a back row of Haskell, Hughes and Vunipola!

That is a good looking team there. How would your bench look?

Pretty awesome looking squad nearly back to full strength (on paper anyway). I would imagine that Wood will be the last one to go, shame we can’t find a spot for Slade anywhere!
Starting to get really excited about this weekend. For know logical reason just have a feeling that Eng are going to pull it all together and have an awesome game.

My 23 and how they would line up.
1. Mako, 2. George, 3. Cole, 4. Lawes, 5. Launchbury, 6. Itoje, 7. Haskell, 8. Billy, 9. Youngs, 10. Ford, 11. May, 12. Farrell, 13. JJ, 14. Nowell, 15. Daly
16. Hartley, 17. Marler, 18. Sinckler, 19. Wood, 20. Hughes, 21. Care, 22. T’eo, 23. Watson
I know that Eddie won’t start with George and that Brown won’t be cut from the squad, but this is the squad I would pick to beat Scotland. Start quick with plenty of pace and then have good solid back up on the bench with a mix of experience and youth.
I don’t want to see Brown running back into the Scottish defence and getting turned over because Scotland have arguably the most dangerous back three in the tournament. Also some of his kicks have been poor and aimless compared to Daly’s.

This is exactly the starting XV I’d like to see other than I would swap May for Watson.

Anyone else slightly concerned about the back row options? The Hask and Billy are not quite at match fitness, Hughes has been ok but not incredible, Tom Wood is, well, Tom Wood… and Itoje while having played ok at blindside probably is not my first choice for that position. I’d also consider the back row to be one of the stronger areas for the Scots at the moment.

I think Hask is fully fit now, and anyone who watched Billy last weekend can attest to his fitness. He played 72 minutes and was on top form. Didn’t look like he’d been out at all.

Hasn’t been a Calcutta Cup with this much excitement attached since 1990 (giving my age away!)
Hopefully its a close hard fought contest and not one that flatters England overly though my bias is for them to win.
The lineup looks great (BV and Watson back) with hopefully a full game from Haskell (methinks the first since the Aussie tests)
