Scotland's Huw Jones described the upcoming Calcutta Cup clash against England as the 'perfect game' for redemption following a frustrating 18-15 defeat to Italy in Rome. The Scotland backline managed zero line breaks against Italy - an absolute rarity even in monsoon conditions - while the Azzurri made six of their own despite the weather.

Jones, who has played in seven Calcutta Cups with four wins and six tries, conceded this England side might be the strongest he's faced, including the team that defeated Scotland 60-21 at Twickenham in 2017. The 29-year-old admitted feeling 'really angry' about his limited involvement in Rome and believes the pent-up frustration will fuel Scotland's performance at a heaving Murrayfield.

The defeat has been 'analysed but not exorcised,' according to Jones, who highlighted Scotland's failure to capitalize on early field position as crucial. With England on a 'big run of victories' and boasting an 'all-court game' featuring both a dominant pack and skilled ball-players, Scotland faces a formidable challenge. For Jones and his teammates, Saturday represents a chance to silence critics and prove their worth in front of their own supporters.
