Six Nations LIVE: England dealt Calcutta Cup blow and Wales coach wants ‘chaos' in Ireland


Former England scrum half Matt Dawson thinks Scotland are no longer underdogs against England having won the past three meetings between the sides.

“The tide has somewhat changed in the last three years,” he told the BBC Scotland Rugby Podcast.

“Scotland have probably been favourites and have shouldered that responsibility really well. That’s not easy to do for any team, particularly in this modern era where everyone is underplaying themselves and everyone wants to be underdogs.

“You feel Scotland have had enough of that, they’ve had decades of being underdogs.”
