GLASGOW prop Nathan McBeth is set for his first Six Nations start after head coach Gregor Townsend made four changes to his pack for tomorrow’s Calcutta Cup showdown with England at Murrayfield.

Hooker Ewan Ashman, loosehead Pierre Schoeman, second-rower Grant Gilchrist and back-rower Matt Fagerson all drop out from the side that started last weekend’s dismal 18-15 defeat by Italy.

The experienced quartet are replaced in the XV by George Turner, McBeth, Gregor Brown and Jamie Ritchie.
