Steve Borthwick has made just one change to England‘s line-up to face Scotland at Twickenham on Saturday, with Ollie Chessum replacing George Martin in the second row.
Fin Smith retains his spot at No 10 after a Man of the Match performance in the shock victory over France, meaning Marcus Smith will continue at full-back.
Borthwick has always preached consistency in his line-up selection, and the head coach seemingly believes he has found a winning formula for Twickenham success.

Fin took responsibility for the winning points against France after Marcus had missed two poor attempts.
Chessum joining captain Maro Itoje in the second row will give England a more mobile option on the ground who can make more impact in line-outs.
“We are looking forward to what will be another challenging and exciting match against Scotland,” said Borthwick.
“The Calcutta Cup is a special fixture, and we are determined to perform to our very best in front of our supporters at Allianz Stadium.”
