England announce team to face Scotland

11 March 2011, 12:04 pm

By Justin Goulding

Alex Corbisiero wins his third cap in the only change to the England starting line-up for the RBS 6 Nations match against Scotland at Twickenham Stadium on Sunday, March 13 (3pm).

The London Irish prop takes over from Andrew Sheridan (Sale Sharks), who he replaced in the 23rd minute of the 17-9 win against France.

There are two changes on the replacements bench for the Calcutta Cup match, the 128th meeting between the sides.

Paul Doran-Jones (Gloucester Rugby) takes the place vacated by Corbisiero while flanker Tom Croft (Leicester Tigers) takes over from Hendre Fourie (Leeds Carnegie). Croft returns to the squad for the first time since sustaining a shoulder injury against South Africa in November.
