Scotland trained on Friday ahead of the following day's Calcutta Cup clash with 'auld enemy' England.

Head coach Gregor Townsend has made one change to the starting XV (15) that performed well in their opening game of the Six Nations Championship against Ireland, but ultimately lost 19-12 - Magnus Bradbury replacing Nick Haining at number eight.

Townsend's England counterpart Eddie Jones has stoked the fires ahead of what promises to be a titanic tussle at Murrayfield, labelling Scotland a "niggly" side that like to "goad" opponents.

Whatever their approach, Scotland have had the upper hand in recent meetings, beating the 'Red Rose' 25-13 in Edinburgh two years ago to reclaim the Calcutta Cup before squandering a late lead in last year's 38-all draw at Twickenham.

However, Saturday's match could be adversely affected by weather, with Storm Ciara potentially set to play havoc with proceedings.
