World champions England will arrive at Murrayfield on Saturday full of confidence having comfortably disposed of Italy on the opening day of the RBS 6 Nations Championship.

In contrast, Scotland failed to give new coach Matt Williams the start he was looking for with a defeat in Wales.

The Scotland players believe they can improve on last week but beating Clive Woodwards side is an entirely different proposition.

Hinshelwood said: England are the best team in the world and they are Six Nations champions.

They are the toughest opponents so its going to be a huge game for us.

Weve looked at some of their plays and they are strong across the park and they are the world champions and its going to be a tough game.

They are strong on the bench as well. You just have to look at their line-up and you can see they are a very strong team.

Its an exciting prospect because England are the world champions and we are playing them on our home turf so we have to really step up and take the game to them.

However, the Worcester centre is hoping that practise on the training ground this week will make perfect on Saturday.

Hinshelwood said: Theres completely new systems and processes that Matt has implemented that will work but its up to us to make sure we do them on the pitch.

Unfortunately for the first half-hour or 40 minutes we didnt really settle into them last week.

But weve worked on them this week and each game will be a step up from the last game and were looking for an improved performance.

Weve practised quite a bit on the pitch but theres no substitute for a game to see how it all worked out.

Scrum-half Chris Cusiter is also looking for an improvement after his forgettable debut in Cardiff.

Despite the 23-10 scoreline, the 21-year-old felt that his first international game could have been worse.

The Borders player added: Weve had a good weeks training and everyone feels were back on track again and that weve made some moves to sort out the problems that happened against Wales.

So morale is high and everyones confident of going into the game against England.

We lost the game 23-10 and everyone is disappointed and I looked at the video and realised that I made mistakes but overall as far as debuts go I was reasonably happy with it.

It took a few minutes to get used to it. It could have been a lot worse and I felt that I did a lot of positive things and I dont feel that I looked out of place.

But Cusiter insists that the challenge on Saturday is not too daunting for his team-mates.

He added: England is an exciting prospect because not many people get the chance to play against the world champions especially at Murrayfield.

Ive never played there before in front of a full house so to have the opportunity to play against England there is very exciting and not too daunting.

Hopefully, we are able to disrupt a lot of their ball and try and stop them playing the way they like to with the passion and courage that people expect of us.
