Eddie Jones retains 24 players for Scotland clash

England head coach Eddie Jones has retained 24 players to prepare for Saturday’s Six Nations game against Scotland at Twickenham.

The group includes fit-again number eight Billy Vunipola, while Bath wing Anthony Watson is also included.

RUCK QUIZZES:

• You have two minutes to name every team Andy Goode played for

• Can you name EVERY player to be given their England debut by Eddie Jones

• What should be my rugby nickname?

Both players have missed the opening games of England’s 2017 Six Nations campaign through injury. Prop Joe Marler is in line to win his 50th cap for England if selected.

England are currently top the Championship table and Jones will name his side to play Scotland on Thursday.
