The Scotland rugby team, managed by coach Gregor Townsend, has announced four changes to its lineup ahead of the upcoming match against England in the Six Nations championship. This decision comes in light of a poor performance in their opening game, where they were defeated 18-15 by Italy in Rome. The Scots struggled particularly in set-pieces, with the Italians gaining the upper hand in scrums and successfully stealing multiple line-outs.

To address these issues, Townsend has included two new players in the front row: hooker George Turner and prop Nathan McBeth will join the starting lineup. Additionally, lock Gregor Brown and flanker Jamie Ritchie have been brought into the squad to reinforce the team. The changes are aimed at improving Scotland's performance against their historical rivals, England, as they prepare to take on the 'old enemy' at Murrayfield, the home ground of Scottish rugby.

With the match looming, Scotland's team will seek to regain momentum in the tournament. The anticipation is building not just for the rivalry with England but also for the chance to recover from their earlier disappointing defeat. Scottish fans will be eager to see how the new lineup performs and whether these strategic adjustments can lead to a more favorable outcome in the second round of the competition.
