    England boss Wayne Bennett is asked on BBC TV how the players reacted to last weekend's one point defeat by New Zealand.

    "I told them to get on with life," says the straight-faced Aussie.

    Sound advice. Full quotes to come before kick-off.

    And brace yourself, Wayne was quite chatty.

    There have been a few changes for England and I think they are exciting changes. 

    One of the exciting changes is Scott Taylor coming in who has been one of the form props in the Super League this season.

    He deserves his chance and the players are playing for their place in the big one against Australia next week.

    England v Scotland (17:30 GMT)

    Scotland coach Steve McCormack: "We already knew it would be a difficult tournament for us against the three best in teams in the world. There is no settling in period. We allowed Australia to play really well and it took us 20 minutes to start playing. We know we have got it in us. 

    "We can't wait. We have worked hard to get to this point. We undersold ourselves last week. Our preparation has been really good. We can't wait.

    "Danny Brough is up for any game. He has been himself all week. He is a fantastic captain. He has bought in to everything we have done. He can't wait.

    "We have not come to be the passersby in the Four Nations. We have to play really well and maybe England have an off day but we have to control what we do. We are sure we can threaten England."

    Just under 15 minutes to go until kick-off but plenty of empty blue seats inside the Ricoh Arena.

    Are they all waiting for the big one between New Zealand and Australia at 20:00 GMT?

    Scotland captain Danny Brough on BBC Two: "It is a massive game. We didn't perform last week and we are looking to put a few wrongs right. They are good opposition and we need to fight for it."

    England are expected to win handsomely and Scotland won't want to let them do that. 

    That is the exciting thing. How close can Scotland get? Can they get over the line against England?

    England were so near yet so far last week. Tonight will be a great night for fans.

    Scotland have got to try to turn England around as often as they can.

    Shaun Johnson scored a winning drop-goal as New Zealand beat England in a tense and physical Four Nations match at a sell-out Huddersfield.

    The Scots turned up to the stadium looking very traditional.

    Do we have a treat for you on this Bonfire Night or what.

    Not one, but TWO games are taking place back-to-back at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.

    Once England v Scotland is out of the way, we will get to see the world's top two sides New Zealand and Australia in action.

    So get that fire stoked and pass round those toffee apples to enjoy FIVE hours of rugby league action.

    For Scotland, Ryan Brierley misses out so forward Ben Hellewell comes in. It means a reshuffle as Danny Addy moves to scrum-half and captain Danny Brough is at stand-off.

    Callum Phillips of Workington makes the bench, but brother Brett misses out, while West Tigers centre Tyler Cassell and Castleford forward Frankie Mariano could both make their debuts off the bench.
