England have announced their squad for the Calcutta Cup match on Saturday evening in the opening round of the 2012 RBS Six Nations.

Owen Farrell of Saracens and son of new England interim coach, Andy Farrell, will start in the centre for his first England cap alongside fellow team mate and debutant, Brad Barritt. Northampton's Phil Dowson will also make his debut in the side and Saracens' Mouritz Botha will earn his second cap in the forwards pack.

David Strettle, whose England caps have been frustratingly limited due to injury, will start alongside Chris Ashton and Ben Foden in the backs. England have a set of new players on the bench with Jordan Turner-Hall, Mike Brown, Lee Dickson, Geoff Parling and Rob Webber all hoping to get on the pitch at Murrayfield.
