Chessum replaces George Martin to bolster England's lineout as they aim to end a four-game losing streak against Scotland in the Six Nations.

  • Ollie Chessum, returning from injury, replaces George Martin in the second row for England's Six Nations match against Scotland at Twickenham.
  • Chessum's inclusion is aimed at improving England's lineout efficiency, which struggled in earlier matches, and providing additional mobility in the pack.
  • The rest of the starting XV remains unchanged from the team that secured a narrow 26-25 victory over France in the previous round.
  • Fin Smith retains the fly-half position, with Marcus Smith continuing at full-back in the dual playmaker setup that showed promise against France.
  • England is seeking to end a four-match losing streak against Scotland, with the Calcutta Cup at stake in rugby's oldest international fixture.
