Itoje is determined to ‘right recent wrongs’
England and Scotland set to battle at Twickenham today for Calcutta Cup

CAPTAIN Maro Itoje admits England must supplement “blind, beating-your-chest fury” with calm heads and composure in order to wrestle back the Calcutta Cup.

Scotland head to Twickenham tomorrow seeking a record-breaking fifth consecutive win over their fiercest rivals, having lost just one of the last seven meetings dating back to 2018.

Saracens lock Itoje, who started each of his country’s four successive losses in the fixture, is braced for an “absolutely huge” encounter as both sides strive to stay in contention for Six Nations glory.
