Maybe not.

The version of God Save the Queen sounds pretty shrill and tinny from here as well.

Is this pre-match gamesmanship?

A military band bash out a horrible muzak version of Flower of Scotland - far too fast, far too upbeat and totally devoid of the usual dignity and menace.

The Scotland team are at least half a line behind by the end as the try and stick to the normal tempo.

"Scotland have just got to throw everything at it today and go and play. There was enough in the first two games to see genuine progress but there was no doubt the Italy game was a step back. Today there is no pressure or expectation."

England Rugby:, external Captain @ChrisRobshaw gathers his England team at the tunnel entrance. They're aiming for a fast start out there.

It would make a nice change in this year's championship.

Scotland centre Alex Dunbar is out for up to nine months after injuring knee ligaments in training and is replaced by Matt Scott.

Dougie Fife and Finn Russell also come in, while David Denton and Jim Hamilton are recalled to the pack.

Replacements: 16-Fraser Brown, 17-Ryan Grant, 18-Geoff Cross, 19-Tim Swinson, 20-Johnnie Beattie, 21-Adam Ashe; 22-Sam Hidalgo-Clyne, 23-Greig Tonks

England make two changes to the side that lost to Ireland, with full-back Mike Brown and lock Courtney Lawes replacing Alex Goode and George Kruis.

Kieran Brookes, Geoff Parling and Tom Wood return to the match-day squad.

Rightio, as Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw stares at the light at the end of the tunnel, time to run down the two teams.

"Against Ireland, England lacked energy. Courtney Lawes being back in the side will add energy and dynamism to the England team."

"It is crucially important that Finn Russell finds his form immediately after his suspension. He likes to run but he needs to kick well today, because if he doesn't, England will capitalise. It is a game of inches, and Mike Brown will hurt Scotland if Finn Russell does not kick well."

"Wonder who these two Twickenham terrors are supporting?

"Clear skies and fresh hope at Twickenham as news of Ireland's defeat filters through the afternoon air.

"Now that the championship is alive again for England, a contest which had threatened to underwhelm - tickets still available, no Scotland win here in 31 years - now has the sort of bite one should expect from a Calcutta Cup showdown."

"That game just shows you don't need loads of tries to have drama. The physicality was incredible and Wales deserved it."

1990. 2000. 2006. 2008. But especially 1990.

Scotland's wins over England are the stuff of legend, but the common denominators tend to be Murrayfield and/or pelting rain.

Scotland have a winning record over England in Edinburgh, but have won on only four of 36 visits to Twickenham.

The last time was 1983.

Sir Clive Woodward
Former England coach on BBC One

"The consequences are huge, not just for this tournament. Wales winning that game will give them great momentum and don't forget they are in England's World Cup group. It is great for the Six Nations but I'm not sure it is good for England."

It is that sort of talk that probably lights Stuart Hogg's fire.

The Scotland full-back believes behind the new-age facade of Stuart Lancaster side are the same old English traits.

"They're pretty much all about themselves at times," he told the Daily Mail., external

'They don't really respect us and we find that pretty frustrating."

England will be top of the Six Nations table tonight if they beat Scotland by more than eight points.

Forwards coach Graham Rowntree is confident that his boys can do it.

"If we get our game right, then we can win by many," Rowntree replied when asked if he would take a one-point win.

"We are planning for a backlash from Scotland, and they should be planning on one from us."

Tony Ellis on Twitter:, external "Good to see Wales finally had plan B. Plan Barnes worked treat. Now can England engage brain as well as heart."

Nath on Twitter:, external "I feel exhausted after watching the game, can't imagine how the players must feel like after playing in it."

"The Six Nations is just amazing. The best annual rugby tournament in the world."

BBC Sport's Bryn Palmer on Twitter:, external Ireland pts difference now at +33. They go to Murrayfield next Sat. Wales now +12. They go to Rome. England (+25) favourites if beat Scots?
