Copy link. twitter. facebook. whatsapp. England’s third game of the 2025 Six Nations Championship will see them face Scotland at Twickenham. Scotland have won the last four Six Nations meetings against the Auld Enemy, including a 30-21 victory at Murrayfield last year.
A total of 142 Test matches have been played between the nations since 1871, with England winning 76 and Scotland emerging victorious in 47. England host Scotland on Saturday, February 22. The match will kick-off at 4.45pm (GMT). Also on the schedule for the third weekend of the Six Nations is Wales v Ireland at 2.15pm on the Saturday and Italy v France at 3pm on Sunday.
At Twickenham, or as it is now known, the Allianz Stadium. This will be England’s first Test against Scotland since the name change with some fans refusing to call the home of English rugby by its new moniker. It will be on ITV1. The BBC and ITV will once again share coverage of the Six Nations in the UK.
Frenchman Pierre Brousset will be taking charge of his first Six Nations match. The 35-year-old would have made his championship debut last year but injury ruled him out of whistling Ireland v Italy. Brousset refereed in last year’s Rugby Championship and the Autumn Nations Series.
“I tell myself that if I’ve reached this level, it’s because of my convictions and my personality,” said Brousset last year. “Of course, there’s no such thing as the perfect match. You can always evolve, always find things to change in the way you referee, in the way you manage the match. But I think the guiding principle should be the same, whether it’s a Pro D2 match or an international match.”.
