How will England's young guns fare in a revamped side?

The Six Nations championship kicks off this weekend - and it heralds new eras for both England and Scotland, who lock horns for the Calcutta Cup at Murrayfield (kick-off 5pm). After last year's World Cup debacle, England's stand-in coach Stuart Lancaster has ditched the old regulars and plumped for exciting young talent in the shape of centres Owen Farrell, 20, and Brad Barritt, 25, and back row forward Chris Robshaw, also 25, among others. Scotland, too, include several new faces in their squad alongside the experienced Mike Blair and Chris Cusiter. It should be a fascinating battle. Earlier, France and Italy clash in Paris (kick-off 2.30pm).
