Toby Flood and Joe Worsley have been passed fit to start for England in their final Six Nations match of the season against Scotland tomorrow.

Flood damaged his shoulder just before half-time in England's 34–10 win over France last Sunday, while Worsley required six stitches in a deep gash to his hand.

The England manager, Martin Johnson, had placed Olly Barkley and Tom Rees on stand-by – but Flood and Worsley came through fitness tests and will take their place in an unchanged England side for the Calcutta Cup match at Twickenham.

"We only played six days ago but everyone is fit to play," said Johnson. "With a short week we thought we may be in trouble but the medics have done well to get them back."
