The 26-year-old Northampton Saints player scored one of three tries the last time they played England away but his memory of the match - which Scotland eventually lost 43-22 - are hazy.

I scored in 2005 at Twickenham - a five-yard flop after a break by Andy Craig - but I was suffering with a really sore head after a clash with Craigy earlier in the game, Lamont recalled.

One of their players had broken through the middle and he went in with his right shoulder while I used my left  and our heads whacked into each other.

I had an absolute blinder of a headache for the rest of the game. I didnt come off and I think I remember most of the match okay  I suppose its just one of those things that happens.

Most of the boys went out that night because it was the last game of the tournament, but I went back to my hotel room and slept away all night.

Lamont is rated by the bookmakers rate as Scotlands likely top try scorer in the Six Nations but he is more concerned with the team goals.

Id be quite happily get no tries if, as a team, we get a full house of wins in the championship, he said.

Wingers are marked by how many tries are scored, but Ive spoken to (coach) Frank Hadden about this and I know that if I can make so many carries in a game then I am doing my bit for the team.

So, even if I dont get any tries, but somebody else does because of the yards Ive made, then Ill be happy with that.

Everyone loves scoring tries because thats what gets your name in the paper, but if the team scores off your yards thats just as good.
