What England are saying: “We want to play well. It’s a big occasion it’s the Calcutta Cup and we want to play well and we’re preparing to start well. We’re not preparing not to start well, we’re preparing to start well so there’s no different message.” (Eddie Jones)

What Scotland are saying: “They’re a good team but I think we are too. We want to go down there and not have to defend the whole game. When we defend we know we will have to do so resiliently and when we get our hands on the ball we have players who are very keen to express themselves.” (Vern Cotter)
