England coach Alex Sanderson, who has picked a strong team to take on Scotland, said: "Scotland are certainly on a high at the moment. They have a real momentum going and they are enjoying their success. I know there is real optimism in their camp at the moment so this is going to be a really big challenge for us."
Scotland manager Euan Kennedy said it would a tough game for his side.
"England are a team in good form and they are unbeaten all season so this is going to be a big challenge for our boys. We are confident we have picked a team who can do a job at Musgrave Park but it's going to be tough," he admitted.
