Stuart McInally insists Scotland’s dreadful record at Twickenham will be meaningless when they aim to prevent England winning the Six Nations title tomorrow.

The Scots have not won in London since 1983 in a barren sequence spanning 14 Tests and they have been installed as 14-1 underdogs to mark the end of the 2019 Championship with a major upset.

An added incentive for the Calcutta Cup showdown is that if Wales are dispatched by Ireland in Cardiff, then Scotland can ruin England’s own title pursuit.
