As England prepares for the Calcutta Cup showdown against Scotland, players have been shown footage from previous encounters for motivation. Head Coach Steve Borthwick's team aims to break a five-year winless streak against Scotland, who have triumphed in their last two meetings. Despite a recent victory against France, concerns linger over the fitness of George Martin. Tom Curry noted an intense atmosphere in training, while Ben Earl emphasized learning from past mistakes, particularly Scotland's dominance in mauls, to ensure success and keep England's Six Nations hopes alive.
We've watched some of that back, we've learnt some lessons, Earl said. We're not going to be short of motivation, that's for sure.
There will be a unit meeting and we'll be told that they mauled us for 7.1 metres per maul last year that's not a great stat for the forward pack, is it?
It is [difficult to watch] but I'm a big believer that those are the kind of games where you learn the harshest lessons, Earl said.
Tom Curry has revealed there has been an edginess to training this week as England seek a victory that would keep their Six Nations title hopes alive.
