Scotland take confidence and heart into Saturday's opening Nations clash against England after dominating the fixture against their old rivals over the last five years, said veteran forward Richie Gray.

"We won there in 2021 in very different circumstances obviously with no crowd but we do take belief from that and the fact the recent results against England have been favourable," said the 33-year-lock, who also played for the British & Irish Lions. England fired coach Eddie Jones in November with Steve Borthwick taking over but must deal with key injuries among their forward pack.

"We expect a traditional English approach with a pack who want to take you on up front, so we are aware that it will certainly be a challenge," Gray said.
