Calcutta Cup crucible can reveal real England and test Scotland resurgence

England take on Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday. Eddie Jones's team have a good record under him but are often underestimated. Scotland have won 24 of their last 25 games. New Zealand have lost three and drawn one. Scotland rattled the All Blacks in November. If England beat Scotland, their prospects in Japan next year will be under scrutiny.

England play Scotland in the Calcutta Cup on Saturday. England are looking to make a statement after their win over Wales. Scotland haven't beaten England since 2004. They last beat England a decade ago and went down 61-21 at Twickenham last year. Gregor Townsend's side are expected to win. England will expect to beat Scotland and then see off France in Paris in a fortnight. The final game against Ireland is on St Patrick's Day. Head coach Jones wants to instil a winning mentality in his team. He wants them to play away from home. This is the mindset he wants by the time they arrive in Sapporo for the 2019 World Cup.
