England&#8217;s inexperienced line-up will be put to the test when they open their RBS Six Nations account with the Calcutta Cup clash against Scotland at Murrayfield.
Stuart Lancaster has named a starting XV that has a total of just 233 international caps between them, with the hosts boasting a team that has accumulated over double that number.
Scotland have also not lost to England in their last three meetings at Murrayfield, but the home side still go into the showdown as underdogs.
Head coach Andy Robinson has made eight changes from the side that lost 16-12 to England in Scotland&#8217;s last match of the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
Lee Jones is handed a debut on the wing while lock Jim Hamilton, flanker Ross Rennie, No. 8 David Denton, scrum-half Chris Cusiter, fly-half Dan Parks, centre Nick De Luca and full-back Ro <a

James Anderson: Full of praise for Pakistan&#8217;s bowling unit
James Anderson believes he and his fellow England bowlers could have a crucial part to play with the bat after 16 wickets fell on a dramatic first day of the third Test in Dubai.
Anderson claimed three wickets, and new ball partner Stuart Broad took four, as Pakistan were bowled out for 99 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
But with England reduced to 104-6 at the close, to lead by just five runs, Anderson believes the bowlers could come to the rescue before the first innings is over.
Anderson told Sky Sports HD1: &#8220;It&#8217;s very hard for us, they&#8217;ve bowled fantastically well throughout today and throughout the series and have put us under pressure.
&#8220;It will be down to the bowlers to score some runs.&#8221;
Delighted
Anderson, not out on three with skipper Andrew Strauss unbeaten on 41, added: &#8220;We have a lead, a slim one at the moment.&#8221;
Anderson admitted he had expected both sides  <a

Pocock: Looking forward to the challenge
Australia international David Pocock has been named captain of the Western Force for the upcoming Super 15 season.
The openside flanker takes over from veteran Nathan Sharpe, with the impressive 23-year-old stepping straight into the role for the start of the new campaign next month.
&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a huge honour to captain a side, particularly one that I&#8217;ve been involved with for quite a while now,&#8221; Pocock said.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a big challenge but exciting at the same time and I&#8217;m looking forward to be given the opportunity to further contribute to the team.
&#8220;I see being a leader first and foremost as leading by your actions, however I know that there is a lot more to it and that&#8217;s all part of the learning experience.
&#8220;I feel very fortunate to have been able to watch and learn from someone like Sharpie. He has had a huge influence on me.&#8221;

Andy Murray: Bounced back from a slow start
Andy Murray overcame a stuttering start to reach the second round of the Australian Open with a four-set win over Ryan Harrison.
The world No.4 was broken three times as he dropped the opening set on Hisense Arena against the highly-rated teenager.
However, Murray regrouped well to secure a 4-6 6-3 6-4 6-2 victory to keep the flag flying for Britain at Melbourne Park.
And Murray praised Harrison afterwards, saying: &#8220;I remember when I was in that position when I was younger and there was no pressure on me. He came out and played some great tennis and I really had to dig in.
&#8220;He is one of the up-and-coming guys and I was expecting a tough match and that&#8217;s what I got.
&#8220;I started to play better towards the end of the match, I had a few nerves at the start.&#8221;

Joe Hart: Admits Premier League leaders Manchester City are feeling the pressure
Goalkeeper Joe Hart admits Manchester City are feeling &#8216;the pressure&#8217; at the top of the Premier League but insists they are still the team to beat.
Roberto Mancini&#8217;s leaders could only manage a goalless draw at West Brom on Boxing Day, failing to score in the league for the first time this season.
Neighbours Manchester United beat Wigan at Old Trafford to close the gap on their local rivals, with the title challengers now separated on goal difference only.
Hart concedes City are feeling the heat in the top spot and felt it showed at the Hawthorns, where Albion strikers Shane Long and Peter Odemwingie threatened throughout.
He said: &#8220;Of course we feel the pressure. Everyone felt the pressure from West Brom. We felt the pressure from Odemwingie and Shane Long .There is all sorts of pressure.
&#8220;But we&#8217;re applying pressure as well, which is what makes it so good.&#8221;

The BBC Sports Personality of the Year programme is an institution, and, like all institutions, it is a magnet for criticism, the most damning of which might be professed indifference.
A lot of people now dismiss it as an irrelevance. They argue that it treats sport as a branch of the entertainment industry, with all the glitz of Strictly Come Dancing and none of the grit of the sports field. Or it is dismissed as a popularity contest, one that goes to embarrassing lengths to reveal the &#8216;personalities&#8217; of its shortlisted sportsmen, while dwelling frustratingly (blink-and-you&#8217;ve-missed-it) briefly on what they actually do.
Cavendish: Eyeing futher honours
We all slag it off. But we talk about it. And then we sit down and watch it. That&#8217;s another thing about institutions: once you&#8217;re locked in, you can&#8217;t get out.
The controversy this year over the ten-person shortlist is that there are no women. I almost wrote &#8216;sportspeople&#8217; above, then r <a
