Former England Under-20 international Cameron Redpath will make his Scotland debut in their Six Nations opener at Twickenham on Saturday.

The Bath centre, the son of former Scotland scrum-half Bryan Redpath, starts in the Calcutta Cup clash just weeks after confirming his allegiance to Scotland.

He will also be going up against fellow Bath centre and close friend Ollie Lawrence, who has been selected in England's midfield.

Elsewhere in Scotland's back division, wing Sean Maitland and fit-again fly-half Finn Russell have been recalled, while hooker George Turner will make his Six Nations debut.

Saturday's match marks the 150th anniversary of the first meeting between England and Scotland -- rugby union's oldest international fixture.
