Scotland will 'come out fighting' in Six Nations clash, says Hartley
England hooker Dylan Hartley has warned his teammates to expect a spirited display from Scotland when the two sides meet in the Six Nations this weekend.
The New Zealand-born player said that Scotland's dismal tournament so far, which has seen them lose all three of their games, may make them a more dangerous proposition.
"Scotland will be desperate to win. They won't want to make it four defeats in a row in the tournament," he told the Mirror.
"So I think they will come out fighting and we can expect a big Scottish backlash."
England will also be eager to take home the Calcutta Cup following a disappointing defeat to Ireland last time out.
"We want to make up for losing to Ireland and keep our chances of winning the tournament alive," Hartley said.
Scotland take on England in the RBS Six Nations at Murrayfield on Saturday, March 13th. Meanwhile, Ireland are at home to Wales and Italy travel to France on the Sunday.
