This year is the 30th anniversary of Scotland's last grand slam title in the then Five Nations. The 13-7 win against England at Murrayfield is the most famous in Scottish rugby history, secured by the most famous try in Scottish rugby history by Tony Stanger.

BBC Scotland's chief sports writer has written a piece reflecting on the match, which you can read here.

We couldn't be treated to another thriller, could we?

Last year's match between Scotland and England was one of the craziest games of rugby in living memory as the sides drew 38-38 at Twickenham.

England raced into a 31-0 lead before Scotland stunned their rivals with six unanswered tries to lead 38-31 past the 80-minute mark. But the home side kept coming and George Ford darted over and converted his own score to snatch a draw in the final play of the final game of the tournament.

BBC Scotland re-watched the game with Scotland prop Gordon Reid earlier this week, and you can read his memories here.

Surely there won't be a repeat!

Skies darkening over Murrayfield and the flags on top of the grandstand starting to crack and snap - Ciara is on its way, and so too is a fixture like no other. You get plenty of damp squibs in this one, days when England return homewards with barely a dent in the bodywork, but it only makes it all the more special when hell breaks loose.

Despite last week's defeat, Sale Sharks' Tom Curry remains at number eight for England rather than his usual open-side flanker position.

He's an absolutely brilliant all-round player who will tackle anything and pilfer ball all day long. But is he best utilised at the base of the scrum? Eddie Jones seems to think so, for now at least with Billy Vunipola missing with a broken arm.

England really struggled at the breakdown at Murrayfield two years ago, so Jones might like the option of using three natural flankers in the back-row to assert their dominance there.

It's sure to be a fascinating battle in that area.

It's been glorious sunshine all day so far in Edinburgh, but as we approach kick-off, the skies over Murrayfield are looking ominous.

The weatherman reckons rain and 53mph winds will have set in by the time the match actually starts and that forecast may have influenced England's choice of six forwards and only two backs among their replacements.

It could also reflect the input of forwards coach Matt Proudfoot. He was in charge of South Africa's scrum when they fielded a six-two split in the World Cup final success against England.

Attrition is expected.

The whole of Scotland is under a yellow weather warning as severe gales batter the country. In years gone by, wind and rain would suit Scotland- think the 2008 penalty-fest- but given the brand of rugby they're trying to play nowadays that may not be the case.

We'll soon see how it will affect both sides' strategies.

2018 was one of the best atmospheres I have been involved in as a player. Scotland will take confidence from that and it's great we have such a huge rivalry.

As seems traditional now, both camps have been stirring the pot before the match. England head coach Eddie Jones began the mischief by labeling Scotland a 'niggly' team, referring principally to the infamous scuffle in the tunnel before the match two years ago at Murrayfield when Scotland's Ryan Wilson pushed England stand-off George Ford, who was defended by Owen Farrell.

In response. Scotland centre Sam Johnson said, although there's respect, 'no-one likes England', and finally England flanker Lewis Ludlam added yet more fuel to the fire, saying there was 'hatred' between the teams and promised a 'war'.

Is it all part of the colour and build-up to a game between rivals? Or needless noise? What do you reckon?

If both teams cut out those individual errors from last weekend, we could be in for a cracker.

After last week's chastening loss in Paris, Eddie Jones has made five changes to his team with the most striking the change at scrum-half. Ben Youngs, who has 96 caps, drops to the bench as 33-year-old Gloucester half-back Willi Heinz makes a first Six Nations start.

Saracens pair Mako Vunipola and George Kruis come into the pack, while Northampton flanker Lewis Ludlam is preferred to club team-mate Courtney Lawes at six.

Leicester centre Manu Tuilagi has been ruled out with the groin injury that forced him off in Paris, meaning a first Six Nations start since March 2018 for Bath's Jonathan Joseph, while George Furbank remains at full-back after struggling on his debut last week.

Gregor Townsend makes just the one change to his team after an encouraging, if ultimately futile, performance in Dublin last week as Magnus Bradbury is fit enough to start at number eight. He replaces his Edinburgh team-mate Nick Haining who drops to the bench.

Haining could justifiably be disappointed not to retain his place after a great debut against Ireland, but Townsend is clearly hoping Bradbury will have the same dynamic impact he did against England in the second half at Twickenham in last year's tournament.
