England make five changes for their Six Nations match away to Scotland on Saturday as George Furbank starts at full-back and Freddie Steward is left out of the matchday squad.

Centre Ollie Lawrence is also included after recovering from injury and comes in for Fraser Dingwall, who started England’s win over Wales last time out.

Danny Care is at scrum-half in place of the injured Alex Mitchell.

And Dan Cole and Ellis Genge are named as the starting props.

“We’re pleased with the start we’ve made to our Guinness Six Nations campaign but know that a difficult test awaits us in Edinburgh against an in-form Scotland team,” said Borthwick.

“The atmosphere is always special for any Calcutta Cup match and I’m sure this weekend’s game at Murrayfield will be no different.

“This group of players are looking forward to the challenge on Saturday and to creating some very special memories.”

England: Furbank; Freeman, Slade, Lawrence, Daly; Ford, Care; Genge, George (capt), Cole, Itoje, Chessum, Roots, Underhill, Earl.

Replacements: Dan, Marler, Stuart, Martin, Cunningham-South, Spencer, F Smith, Feyi-Waboso.
