Six Nations 2014: England Unchanged for Scotland Test
Stuart Lancaster has named an unchanged side as England look to get their Six Nations campaign back on track against Scotland on Saturday.
It's the first time in 23 matches that England head coach Lancaster has been able to name an identical match-day squad as Wasps prop Matt Mullan also travels to Edinburgh with the squad as the 24th-man reserve.
"It's good to be able to select the same players and they are all determined to put last week's result behind us and build on the performance, " said Lancaster.
Scotland and England, both off the back of opening-weekend defeats, come together at Murrayfield for a Calcutta Cup tie which represents rugby's oldest rivalry.
England have held the Calcutta Cup since 2009 though they've not put more than 15 points past a home Scotish side who tend to find another gear at Murrayfield.
Lancaster added: "Scotland will be hugely motivated by their defeat in Dublin and, as we found two years ago, Murrayfield is a tough place to play."
Winger Jonny May has been declared fit to take on the Scots despite picking up a fractured nose in the opening minutes of England's 26-24 defeat to France at the Stade de France Last week.
Scotland meanwhile fell to a 28-6 defeat away to Ireland and will cherish the opportunity to right their wrongs in front of a roaring home crowd despite being without Sean Maitland following a back injury.
Scotland v England kicks off at 5pm on 8 February in Edinburgh.
Backs: Danny Care, Owen Farrell, Jonny May, Billy Twelvetrees, Luther Burrell, Jack Nowell, Mike Brown.
Forwards:Joe Marler, Dylan Hartley, Dan Cole, Joe Launchbury, Courtney Lawes, Tom Wood, Chris Robshaw, Billy Vunipola.
Replacements: Tom Youngs, Mako Vunipola, Henry Thomas, David Attwood, Ben Morgan, Lee Dickson, Brad Barritt, Alex Goode.
