SCOTLAND centre Huw Jones is relishing the challenge of ending England’s unbeaten run at Twickenham on Saturday.

Jones, who grew up in Musselburgh, is set to win his sixth cap as he takes part in his first Calcutta Cup match in London.

England are yet to lose since Eddie Jones succeeded Stuart Lancaster as head coach, and could equal the world record for tier one test wins (18) if they beat the Scots.

The 23-year-old, who plays for the Stormers in South Africa but is set to return to Scotland with Glasgow Warriors next season, is looking forward to the challenge.

He said: “It’s a massive opportunity and one of the big incentives is to stop their run

“It’s quite exciting. They’ve done really well to get to this point.”

Vern Cotter’s side travel south not having tasted Calcutta Cup success at Twickenham since 1983.

That does not worry Jones, whose early years were spent on the Honest Toun’s Pinkie Road, before his family moved south of the Border when Huw was aged two.

He added: “Traditionally, England and other teams have gone into the Six Nations thinking that Scotland might be an easy game. I don’t think they’ll be thinking that. They’ll have had a look at what we’ve done so far.”

He also said he was “enormously proud” of having helped Scotland rise to a best-ever world ranking of fifth – above the likes of Wales, France and South Africa.

“It just shows there are exciting times coming from this squad,” he added.

Victory against England would earn the Scots a first Triple Crown since 1990.

Jones said: “We will be looking at the tactical side of it and what we can do; it’s not just going to be motivational and emotional. We set our goals, we didn’t shout about it, but we knew what we wanted to do. We have had two good wins but we are looking to kick on now.”
