The Saxons go into the clash fresh from a come-from-behind 14-10 win over Ireland Wolfhounds, and coach Jon Callard says that this momentum can help the team turn around last year's reverse.
If you don't get it right at international level, sides like this Scotland one will punish you heavily and that's what happened last year," he commented. "We've all learned from that and we're determined to get it absolutely right this time round."
Friday's game is being played at Kingston Park, Newcastle, with the action being shown live on Sky Sports 2.
