D'oh Calcutta!

MARCUS SMITH has underlined his determination to end England's poor recent record against Scotland and regain the Calcutta Cup.

The Scots have beaten England in their last three Six Nations outings - two of those coming at Twickenham.

Last year they secured a memorable 29-23 win over the Red Rose in Steve Borthwick's first game as head coach. A year earlier Smith had scored a try at Murrayfield, only to see England lose late on.

A trip to Edinburgh is one of three away days England will have to face during the Six Nations. Smith is still relatively new to the tournament but is already anticipating a return to Murrayfield with the Calcutta Cup firmly in his sights.
