Mark Bennett goes over against England at Twickenham to score his second try of the tournament.

Peter Horne and Mark Bennett form the centre partnership, while Russell takes up his slot at stand-off. Niko Matawalu keeps his place at scrum-half. Alex Allan comes in at loosehead, Brown returns at hooker and after a number of stand-out performances for Scotland Under-20s, Zander Fagerson starts his second game for the Warriors at tighthead. Young fly-half Finn Russell - who also scored against Ireland - was another positive for Scotland. Al Kellock captains the side for the 150th time in the second-row and packs down with Swinson in the engine room. Harley, Chris Fusaro and Josh Strauss continue in the back-row.

'Vi har haft några stora strider med Leinster under de senaste säsongerna och vi förväntar oss en annan (på fredag kväll). Mark Bennett går över mot England på Twickenham för att göra sitt andra försök i turneringen. "Det blir första gången vi återvänder till RDS sedan förra säsongens Pro12 final och vi vet att vi måste spela vår bästa rugby om vi ska komma bort med ett positivt resultat mot de försvarande mästarna. " Hogg återvänder vid fullback, medan Seymour kommer in på högerflygeln och kanadensiska internationella DTH van der Merwe fortsätter på motsatt sida. Peter Horne och Mark Bennett bildar centrumpartnerskapet, medan Russell tar upp sin plats vid stand-off. Niko Matawalu har sin plats på klumphalvan. Alex Allan kommer in på lösskallen, Brown återvänder på hora och efter ett antal ståuppträdanden för Skottland Under-20:or startar Zander Fagerson sin andra match för Warriors at tighthead. Unge flughalvan Finn Russell - som också gjorde mål mot Irland - var ett annat positivt för Skottland. Al Kellock kaptenerar sidan för 150:e gången i andra raden och packar ner med Swinson i maskinrummet. Harley, Chris Fusaro och Josh Strauss fortsätter i back-row.
