SIX NATIONS: SCOTLAND V ENGLAND
Venue: Murrayfield Date: Saturday, 8 February Kick-off: 17:00 GMT


MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

Only Dan Parks and Chris Paterson, via kicks, have scored points for Scotland in this fixture at Murrayfield since 2004, with England's Charlie Hodgson scoring the only try in those four matches.
The English haven't scored more than 15 points in any of those four games.
In their last 14 games at Murrayfield against England, Scotland have reached the 20-point mark just once (in a 34-20 defeat in 1998).
Scotland have won just three out of the last 25 Calcutta Cup matches.
The oldest fixture in international rugby is contested for the 132nd time. England have 71 wins to Scotland's 42. The first match in 1871 was won by Scotland by two tries and a goal to England's single try.

Their 28-6 loss to Ireland was their biggest margin of defeat in a Six Nations match since losing 46-19 to France in 2007.
They haven't scored a try in their last three matches.
It was the eighth year in a row that they failed to win their opening match of the tournament.
They have won just two of their last 11 Six Nations matches.

England

England have lost their opening two matches of a Championship campaign only once since 1988 when they were beaten by Wales, France and Ireland in the opening three rounds in 2005.
They have not lost three successive Test matches in a row since the autumn internationals of 2008.
This fixture two years ago was Stuart Lancaster's first match in charge. He picked a side containing only 236 caps. Only four of the starting XV remain (Chris Robshaw, Dan Cole, Dylan Hartley, Owen Farrell).
