This game will be brought to you by SP Energy Networks and will feature pre-recorded commentary from Stuart McFarlane and Scotland Captain Rachel Malcolm.
On Friday, we’re taking you back to the famous Calcutta Cup victory over England from 1990, featuring the likes of David Sole, Gavin and Scott Hastings, Gary Armstrong, John Jeffrey and Craig Chalmers. Commentary is provided by Bill McLaren and the game is brought to you by BT.
Both games are available to watch on Facebook and YouTube from 7pm BST around the globe and will also be available to watch on demand thereafter.
Ahead of Friday’s game we’ll be sharing another Crabbie’s Changing Room chat as former Scotland players Chris Paterson and Al Kellock are joined by a guest to talk about the fixture and reflect on the memorable moments. This will be available to watch in full on the Scottish Rugby Facebook page and website on Friday.
