  • Chris Robshaw is no longer England's captain but will start at blindside flanker.

    England travel to Scotland for an opening Six Nations clash that traditionally the visitors have struggled in. Can Eddie Jones’s new-look England side repair the damage suffered during a disastrous World Cup? Or will Scotland pick up where they left off and begin 2016 with a win?

    To gather an insight into the minds of the two sets of fans we asked UAE club rugby players from the respective countries to share with us their predictions and players to watch.
