Thought I'd start a thread to discuss next weeks game.
ENGLAND
England head coach Stuart Lancaster has kept faith with the side which lost to France and named an unchanged line-up for Saturday's match against Scotland.
Gloucester's Jonny May starts on the wing despite breaking his nose nine minutes into the 26-24 loss in Paris.
Courtney Lawes will be in the second row after his cheekbone bruising eased, while Danny Care and Owen Farrell form the half-back partnership.
"They're determined to put last week's result behind them," said Lancaster.
England will be hoping to avoid a third successive Test defeat, having lost to New Zealand in the autumn and France in the opening weekend of the Six Nations.
Scotland, however, were well beaten by Ireland on Sunday have not prevailed in the Calcutta Cup since their 15-9 win at Murrayfield in 2008.
"Scotland will be hugely motivated by their defeat in Dublin and, as we found two years ago, Murrayfield is a tough place to play," added Lancaster, who began his England reign with a 13-6 win against Scotland in 2012.
May is not expected to wear a protective face mask when he wins his third cap in Edinburgh.
Luther Burrell, who scored on his debut at the Stade de France, will make his second Test appearance at centre, while Jack Nowell takes up the right-wing spot for what will also be his second cap.
Wasps prop Matt Mullan will travel as the 24th man.
England XI v Scotland: Mike Brown (Harlequins, 22 caps), Jack Nowell (Exeter Chiefs, 1 cap), Luther Burrell (Northampton Saints, 1 cap), Billy Twelvetrees (Gloucester Rugby, 9 caps), Jonny May (Gloucester Rugby, 2 caps), Owen Farrell (Saracens, 20 caps), Danny Care (Harlequins, 43 caps), Joe Marler (Harlequins, 16 caps), Dylan Hartley (Northampton Saints, 51 caps), Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers, 44 caps), Joe Launchbury (London Wasps, 15 caps), Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints, 26 caps), Tom Wood (Northampton Saints, 24 caps), Chris Robshaw (Harlequins, capt, 21 caps), Billy Vunipola (Saracens, 6 caps)
Replacements: Tom Youngs (Leicester Tigers, 13 caps), Mako Vunipola (Saracens, 11 caps), Henry Thomas (Sale Sharks, 2 caps), Dave Attwood (Bath Rugby, 6 caps), Ben Morgan (Gloucester Rugby, 16 caps), Lee Dickson (Northampton Saints, 13 caps), Brad Barritt (Saracens, 17 caps), Alex Goode (Saracens, 14 caps)

I have to agree with you here, I think he will be found out badly if he tries too hard.
Agreed.

I like Danny Care, like his style of play. Still think that Ben Youngs should be in the squad, he is a much better impact sub than he is a starter.

Danny Care should also get some credit for that try, excellent little run that trapped the Scottish defence out.

How long before we are forced to ensure uncontested scrums? This ground is tearing up and will become dangerous for scrums.

Why do the ref's not blow against the defending team sealing off not supporting their own weight in the rucks Ireland got away with it all game and now it is happenning in this game.

I would imagine he's taking the state of the pitch into consideration.

I loved that Ireland won last week but Ford's throwing has been less than ordinary. He really bottles it when under pressure. This could be a very long day for Scotland, England don't look particularly sharp themselves but are cruising here.

What is wrong with the pitch? Isn't rugby a winter sport played on grass? Isn't it expected to be muddy?

True I guess but England just don't look that sharp to me. A sharper England would probably be 30 points clear already.

That was a little cheeky cheap shot by Nowell.
He is defo the future for England though, been really impressed with the way he has approached International rugby. After some bad moments last week against the French he never let his head drop.
Much better from England, Scotland lucky not to concede there.
