Six Nations: Steve Borthwick drops Manu Tuilagi for Scotland opener

Manu Tuilagi has been dropped from Steve Borthwick's team for England's Six Nations opener against Scotland.

The new head coach named a revamped side for Sunday's game in the hopes of emerging as the side to lift the Calcutta Cup.

Ollie Hassell-Collins is in line to debut on the left wing in place of the London Irish player.
