The Hive Stadium, Edinburgh, will host the game on Friday 23 February (19:15 GMT), which will be streamed live on the BBC Sport website. 

Leicester Tigers’ Finn Carnduff resumes his duties as captain after leading the U20 Men to consecutive victories over Italy and Wales, topping the competition charts in lineout takes (19) and ranking in the top five of defensive ruck arrivals (13) and breakdown steals (3). 

Carnduff moves into the second-row to partner Joe Bailey of Exeter Chiefs in the latter’s first Six Nations start. Fly-half Josh Bellamy of Harlequins is also in line for his first start. 

Bellamy’s clubmate Zach Carr starts at number eight after missing out on England’s 28-7 victory over Wales at the Recreation Ground. Ben Redshaw (Newcastle Falcons) retains the 13 jersey to line up alongside Sean Kerr. 

On the bench, Gloucester Rugby tight head prop Afolabi Fasogbon returns from a spell on the sidelines with Harry Browne and Ben Waghorn also in contention for involvement having also missed out in Round 2. 

Mapletoft said: “After a fallow week in the Championship, the boys are raring to go and are determined to continue the strong start we’ve made to this year’s tournament.  

“Scotland pose a unique challenge and possess a physical threat at the breakdown and set-piece that will put our capabilities to the test. We can’t wait for what is in store this Friday in Edinburgh. An awful lot of work has gone into what England fans have seen on the pitch and we’re thankful for all the support we have received, it’s spurred us as a team on and we urge for more of the same in the forthcoming rounds.”
