But so far Scotland have flattered to deceive and Hines, back in the team at blindside flanker, admits they have not shown a true account of themselves so far.

He said: "Obviously confidence is not sky high. We haven't been playing that well.

"If we have fixed one area of our game, another thing's crept in, but there's no pressure on us this weekend.

"We will just go down there and play the game we want to play and hopefully it will be good enough to win the match.

"We need to play at our best every game. It is disappointing that we have the talent to play well and we haven't been.

"If we were just bad players, we could accept that.

"I think it will give an extra kick in the pants this weekend, it always does, Scotland v England, so there will be a little bit more needle I think.”
