Six Nations: England v Scotland Venue: Twickenham Kick-off: 1600 GMT Coverage: Watch live on BBC One, BBC One HD and online from 1530 GMT; listen on BBC Radio 5 Live; text commentary on BBC Sport website and mobiles This year marks 30 years since Scotland last enjoyed a win over England at Twickenham. On their first visit to play the Auld Enemy at 'Billy Williams' cabbage patch', as the ground was known back then in 1911, the Scots had to fight their way through allotments to find it after getting lost. Once the game began, a closely fought encounter was heading England's way until Scottish centre George Cunningham burst for the try-line in the dying minutes with a chance to bring Scotland level. But, in the midst of evading one final tackle, his shorts were ripped exposing his behind. Rather than continue to the line he opted to sit down and preserve his modesty, but Scotland have been exposed at Twickenham ever since. In the intervening 100 or so years of visits to south west London they have won only four times with the last coming back in 1983. I am delighted with the progress we have made but I am disappointed not to have had that consistent run of wins. We beat New Zealand but we lost two other games in the autumn Stuart Lancaster England coach But Scotland can not just blame 'Twickers', as they have won only three out of the past 24 Calcutta Cup matches and the odds are long (13-2) against them reversing history in this Six Nations opener. Especially so, given their testing 2012 that see-sawed from the sublime - beating Australia down under - to the ridiculous - losing to Tonga at Murrayfield. That result led to Andy Robinson resigning and his attack coach, Scott Johnson, is now charged with reinvigorating a squad still reeling from what was an autumn of discontent. The erudite Aussie, who likes quoting Plato in press conferences, has not taken a broad brush to the squad, instead making tweaks that he will feels will offer "something a little different." He has had no qualms in handing New Zealand-born winger Sean Maitland his debut at Twickenham saying "sharks are born swimming." And putting him in a back three with the Flying Dutchman, Tim Visser, and the prodigious Stuart Hogg, you can see why the coach feels his team "now has some jet shoes." For England, the Six Nations will provide a fascinating barometer of their progress after a year under Stuart Lancaster's leadership. Are they the rampaging machine that beat the All Blacks or the shoddy shambles that got their game management wrong against South Africa and Australia? The answer probably lies somewhere in the middle. The bookies have them as joint Six Nations favourites with France, and while they have three games at home, it is the daunting trips to Dublin and Cardiff that look set to decide their fate in this year's Championship. For Lancaster, it has been an incredible 12 months as on Wednesday it was revealed that the former interim coach is set to be put in overall charge of the RFU's 'international performance' department. It would be remiss to not mention the incendiary comments made by former Scotland coach Jim Telfer this week, when he accused the English team of being "too arrogant, too pretentious and too condescending." His comments were immediately dismissed by the English camp, but it just goes to show that even after 142 years, the oldest fixture of them all in international rugby still stokes the emotions more than any other. Match facts Head-to-head There has not been a winning margin of more than seven points in the last four Tests. The last time Scotland won at Twickenham was a 22-12 victory on 5 March 1983. Scotland have won just four times at Twickenham in 45 matches: in 1926, 1938, 1971 and 1983. England Wales are the only team to have beaten England in the opening match of the Six Nations (05 & 08). England made fewer metres than any other side in the Six Nations last year and kicked from hand the most. Scotland Scotland have only ever once won their opening match of the Six Nations (2006 v France). The last time Scotland won back-to-back Six Nations matches was in 2001. They won just three of their 11 Tests in 2012 - one of which was a historic victory away to Australia.
