England Scotland live stream: preview
This 2025 Six Nations game between England and Scotland will take place at Twickenham in London. The match kicks off on Saturday, February 22 at 4.45pm GMT / 11.45am ET / 3.45am AEDT (Sun.).
England's 26-25 victory over France last weekend was a huge boost for head coach Steve Borthwick, whose side finally put together a full 80-minute performance after leading Ireland, New Zealand and Australia in recent times without registering the win. Momentum is crucial in international rugby and Elliot Daly's late try against Les Bleus delivered a sense of positivity the side has lacked since the World Cup. Ollie Lawrence has impressed at centre this tournament, along with Tom Curry in the back row.
Never before in the Calcutta Cup's 153-year history have Scotland won five successive games against England, but that's the shot at history that Gregor Townsend's side have on Saturday. Unbeaten in their last three trips to Twickenham after going 38 years without a victory at English HQ, the Scots will be desperate to put last weekend's 32-18 defeat to Ireland at Murrayfield behind them. With Finn Russell passed fit, expect plenty of high balls for inexperienced England full-back Marcus Smith, more naturally a fly-half, to deal with.
After a wet morning in south-west London, the skies have cleared and conditions should be about perfect for a game of free-flowing international rugby at Twickenham. Make sure you’re settled down in front of your regular stream so as not to miss a second of rugby’s oldest international rivalry.
