The only thing more wretched than the weather in Rome last weekend was Scotland's performance. Although the deficit at the full-time whistle was a mere three points, nobody watching the game would have objectively thought they deserved anything but a defeat. It means the perennial nearly men of northern hemisphere rugby are staring down the barrel of another disappointing Six Nations, and possibly the end of a very long road as head coach for Gregor Townsend.

The start that England made to the tournament at Twickenham couldn't have been much more different. Admittedly, the Welsh side they came up against were far from stern opposition, but Steve Borthwick will have relished his XV's ruthless, merciless approach. Six tries — including a first-half hattrick from winger Arundell — laid a marker for a country eager to win their first championship since 2020. And Maro Itoje is poised to return as captain today.

As the teams head to Murrayfield, Townsend and co will derive some positivity from the fact their old enemy haven't won north of the border for six years. Here's how to watch Scotland vs England in the Six Nations 2026 online and on TV today — including free streaming options.
