Three changes for Scots

Scotland have made three changes to the starting XV from their last match against Wales for their RBS Six Nations Championship meeting with England at Murrayfield.

Hooker Dougie Hall wins only his third start in the eighth match of Frank Hadden’s tenure as national coach, with Scott Lawson omitted from the 22.

In the second row Scott MacLeod is promoted from the bench on Saturday to replace the suspended Scott Murray. It will be MacLeod’s second start for Scotland.

Nathan Hines (Perpignan), who last played for Scotland in the Calcutta Cup last year, is introduced among the substitutes.

In the backs, centre Marcus Di Rollo has recovered from the hamstring injury which kept him out of the game at the Millennium Stadium – and he replaces Ben MacDougall.
