O2 Inside Line - Six Nations 2013 preview

BY Grant Constable  ·  Wednesday Jan 30, 2013

O2 Inside Line is back as we head into the first weekend of the RBS 6 Nations. England are on a high after their victory over New Zealand late last year, but this week they come up against an entirely different threat in the Scots. Here’s a look inside the camp.

James Haskell is back with the popular player cam and is joined by wingers Chris Ashton and David Strettle this week. Tom Wood and Ben Morgan have a slightly more serious approach as they give us a glimpse into the kind of analysis that takes place ahead of the first game.

The Youngs brothers, Ben and Tom, reveal some old secrets, and we also learn about the GPS devices that players are now allowed to wear, and how they help England’s team behind the team.

Scotland have a strong back three as new boy Sean Maitland gets his first start after playing just five games for Glasgow Warriors. Try scoring machine Tim Visser is on the other wing, so we can expect some refreshing attacking play out side.

Saturday 2 Feb, Twickenham, Kick off: 16:00

England squad: Backs: Chris Ashton, Brad Barritt, Mike Brown, Danny Care, Owen Farrell, Toby Flood, Alex Goode, David Strettle, Billy Twelvetrees, Ben Youngs
Forwards:
