Burrell expects 'a lot of passion' from Scotland

  • Intro:

    Luther Burrell looks ahead to the Calcutta Cup encounter with Scotland in the Six Nations championship on Saturday (14th March).

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Luther Burrell, England centre (on what went wrong in the match with Ireland):

    "Yes absolutely. I think Ireland came with a game plan and they stuck to it really well. I think we had our game plan in place and we made errors along that path and against a team of Ireland's class, you're always going to get picked off. With the players that they've got and the opportunities that they got within the game, they took their chances, and we felt that with the opportunities we had, we didn't quite take them. We've reviewed the video and there were opportunities for us to really close them down and we didn't capitalise on that and international rugby it's the fine margins that are going to win you games and, unfortunately, we came at the back of a loss which was obviously very disappointing to us as a group of players and now we're really excited to get back to Twickenham and hopefully get back to winning ways."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Luther Burrell, England centre (on getting back to playing after a week off):

    "Yes it's always frustrating having this fallow week because you come off the back of a loss and immediately what you want to do, is get out there and put things right and rectify the situation. So, it's obviously a hugely exciting weekend for us, we're back at Twickenham against a Scotland team that are going to be really fired up and I think it's going to be a huge spectacle."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Luther Burrell, England centre (on what to expect from Scotland):

    "Yes a lot of passion. I think Scotland have been outstanding in this tournament. I know, obviously, that they've got three losses but I think they've played a fantastic brand of rugby. They've got some quality players now. I think the majority of their players are at Glasgow so they're all in sync with each other. They know what each other are about and that's going to be tough to break down when a team is that tightly knit. And they've got some class players as well, across their backline that us as backs have looked at."
