Portugal Colonial - Scotland's Kinghorn returns for Six Nations clash with England

Scotland coach Gregor Townsend has also selected Kyle Steyn and former captain Jamie Ritchie in his starting XV following an agonising 20-16 loss to France in the second round.

Kyle Rowe, Harry Paterson and Matt Fagerson -- who all started against Les Bleus - have been dropped from the matchday 23 entirely, with the bench unchanged.

Full-back Kinghorn missed the opening two matches of the Six Nations through injury, while wing Steyn was a late dropout against France after his wife went into labour.

Blindside flanker Ritchie returns to the back row after starting in Scotland's dramatic 27-26 first-round victory over Wales in Cardiff.

Scotland are bidding for a fourth successive win over oldest rivals England, who are due to name their team later Thursday.
