Match Context

First contested in 1879, the Calcutta Cup is one of the oldest and most storied fixtures in international rugby. In terms of outright victories, England leads with 71 wins to Scotland’s 44, but the recent rivalry tells a different story. Scotland has dominated in recent years, claiming five wins in the last six encounters, including a historic victory in 2024 that left England reeling.

This year, England will be desperate to reclaim bragging rights at Twickenham, buoyed by a passionate home crowd. Scotland, however, comes into the Six Nations brimming with confidence after a strong Autumn Nations campaign, which included three wins from four matches. With Finn Russell orchestrating Scotland’s attack and England’s pack looking to impose their physicality, the stage is set for a thrilling encounter that adds yet another chapter to this storied rivalry.
