Greig Laidlaw: 'England are not invincible'

Greig Laidlaw admits that Scotland must do all their talking on the field this weekend against England as they look to pick up their first Twickenham win since 1983.

Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw has urged his teammates not to feel overawed heading into this weekend's Six Nations meeting against England.

Having lost each of their opening three games of this year's tournament, Scotland travel to Twickenham desperate to turn around their fortunes against an England side eyeing up the championship title.

A 19-9 loss against Ireland last time out dented the Red Rose's hopes of claiming the crown, although their home record over Saturday's Calcutta Cup opponents - no defeat since 1983 - makes them strong favourites to come out on top.

Despite this, Laidlaw remains confident that his side can match England, telling the Daily Mail: "I've always thought highly of the England players but seeing them down there just shows me that we can win. They are not invincible, that's definitely not the case.

"Respect has to be earned and that is something we'll be aiming to do at the weekend. The England boys will respect us if we do a job on the field. We're not far away from getting things right but I'm getting pretty sick of telling people that, I really am. It's up to us as players to step up, go again and put in that performance against England.

"We have had some tough talking from the coaches this week and rightly so since the defeat to Italy - but it has been good as we have been shooting ourselves in the foot a lot of the time and we have to change."

England won last year's meeting 20-0 at Murrayfield.
