Courtney Lawes set for England return

Courtney Lawes will make his England return in Saturday’s RBS 6 Nations clash with Scotland emboldened by a glowing reference from forwards coach Graham Rowntree.

Lawes is set to replace George Kruis in the engine room as the red rose reinforce a challenge for the title that was dealt a potentially fatal setback with their chastening 19-9 defeat in Ireland.
