The countdown is over and all the talking can stop, because this afternoon sees the start of the 2021 Women’s Six Nations as England take on Scotland at Castle Park. Kick off  16:00 (15:00 UK time).

The reigning champions will be looking to get off to a flying start against their old adversaries in Doncaster, as they look to increase their Championship unbeaten run to 12 matches this weekend.

The visitors will be looking to build on their last outing, which saw them hold 2018 Grand Slam winners France to a 13-13 draw at Scotstoun in the final match of the 2020 Championship.

With the new three-team pool format this year, a victory to start the competition is more vital than ever. The victor in this will steal a march at the top of Pool A, with a match against Italy to come to determine the final standings later in the competition.

Back row Magnus Bradbury replaces Nick Haining in the only change to the Scotland line-up for Saturday’s Six Nations visit of England.

Haining, 29, impressed on his debut last week in the 19-12 opening-day loss to Ireland but drops to the bench, with Cornell du Preez omitted altogether.

Bradbury missed the defeat in Dublin but will line up at Murrayfield.

Meanwhile, scrum-half Ben Youngs is among the senior players left out as England make five changes to their starting XV to face Scotland.

Willi Heinz replaces Youngs at nine, with flanker Lewis Ludlam in for Courtney Lawes in the wake of defeat by France on the opening weekend.

Prop Mako Vunipola and lock George Kruis return, with Jonathan Joseph replacing injured centre Manu Tuilagi.

Saracens’ Ben Earl is set for a debut as one of six forwards on the bench.

Bath hooker Tom Dunn could also win his first cap as he joins Lawes and Joe Launchbury, who has recovered from a knee injury, among the replacements.

Matt Taylor has left his role as Scotland assistant to join Australia, with former Ospreys head coach Steve Tandy named as his replacement.
Taylor had worked beside head coach Gregor Townsend since taking up a dual role as defence coach with Glasgow Warriors and Scotland in 2012.

Tandy has been Super Rugby side Waratahs’ defence coach.

Former France prop Pieter de Villiers has also joined the Scotland set-up as scrum coach.

Australia-born Taylor will work under Dave Rennie, who will become Australia head coach when the New Zealander leaves Glasgow Warriors at the end of the season, and alongside attack coach Scott Wisemantel.

Rugby Australia director of rugby Scott Johnson, the former Scotland head coach, welcomed the 47-year-old “home”.

“He’s a quality coach who has the experience, skillset and personality that we believe will fit really well in the coaching team we have assembled,” he said.

It may not strictly speaking be recognized as an international but today will see smiling Springbok Schalk Brits play in his final game against international opponents as the Barbarians face Wales in Cardiff this afternoon. The man who plays the game with an infectious smile on his face and must surely be the most popular South African to have played in England must be loving his time with the free style Barbarians has been included on the bench for the Barbarians by former Wales coach Warren Gatland.

Barbarians coach Gatland is also another favourite, of the Welsh crowd. While I have not always appreciated they way his Welsh teams have generally been set up to play the game over the years, you have to admit that he has been very successful in his time in Wales and will be a very hard act to follow.

Dave Rennie has confirmed he will leave his role as Glasgow Warriors Head Coach at the end of the season, to become the next Head Coach of Australia.

Rennie, who joined the Warriors in 2017 from Super Rugby side the Chiefs, guided his side to the Guinness PRO14 Final at Celtic Park and the quarter-finals of the Heineken Champions Cup last season.

The club came top of its Guinness PRO14 Conference in both the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons, securing a record number of bonus point wins last season in the process as his attacking, all-court style of play maintained the Warriors’ position as one of the top teams in the competition.

Glasgow Warriors continued to develop exciting young talent during his first two seasons with many going on to secure international honours with Scotland, demonstrated with the selection of 19 players in Gregor Townsend’s Rugby World Cup training squad this summer.

Scottish Rugby has been fined £70,000 and ordered to apologise to World Rugby for criticism of the threatened cancellation of their World Cup Pool A game against Japan.

The match was in doubt because of the approaching Typhoon Hagibis and SRU chief executive Mark Dodson criticised World Rugby’s “rigidity”.

He hinted at legal action if the match had not gone ahead.

An independent disputes committee says he “brought the game into disrepute”.

“Prior to its decision, the committee gave the parties ample time to resolve the dispute,” it said in a statement. “World Rugby made an open offer to the SRU, which required the SRU to apologise for its conduct and make a donation to the typhoon disaster relief fund in Japan.

“The SRU suggested alternative wording, which included a mutual expression of regret from both parties – and no apology.”

Sale’s Curry Twins, Tom and Ben (on right)

Sale Sharks flanker Ben Curry says not asking if he could miss a Premiership match to fly out and watch identical twin brother Tom play for England in Saturday’s World Cup final would have been “the biggest regret” of his life.

Eddie Jones’ side face South Africa in Yokohama, a day after Ben was set to play for Sale against Bristol.

“What would I remember when I’m 60, one game against Bristol or my twin playing in a World Cup final – and possibly winning it – with me in Japan,” the 21-year-old told BBC Sport.

“When you put it in those terms I thought I had to at least ask.”

After a social media campaign #GetBenToJapan gathered momentum, Ben approached Sharks director of rugby Steve Diamond for permission and the club agreed to give him a few days off to fly out.

Sale said it was a “once in a lifetime experience” for Ben, who will leave Manchester for Japan on Tuesday morning.
