Head coach Steve Borthwick says England are a "very different" side to the one which was beaten by Scotland in last year's Calcutta Cup meeting.

Scotland claimed their fourth consecutive win over England with a 30-21 victory at Murrayfield in the 2024 Six Nations, but Borthwick says his class of 2025 are "not looking to the past" as they prepare to welcome their northerly neighbours to Allianz Stadium.

Only seven starters from the defeat in Edinburgh have retained their place in England's XV 12 months on.

Both sides have won one game and lost to Ireland in this year's Six Nations but defeat is likely to curtail their chances of competing for the title.

"As part of the preparation of any game, I always look back at the most recent matches against the opponent," Borthwick told BBC Rugby Union Weekly.

"What we also have to acknowledge is this [England] team is a very different team to the one that played last year.

"Danny Care started at scrum-half last year and he has retired from Test duty so you have to be conscious of drawing parallels.

"In comparison to previous England teams, the strengths of this one are wider than they used to be.

"There are different distribution strengths and there is an athleticism to this team which is different to 12 months ago.

"We are not looking at the past and the focus is on this weekend. The atmosphere is going to be phenomenal and I think it will be a brilliant Test match."
