(Reuters) - Scotland fullback Blair Kinghorn and wing Kyle Steyn return to the starting lineup to face England in the Six Nations clash at Murrayfield on Saturday, providing a significant boost to a backline marshalled by mercurial flyhalf Finn Russell.

Kinghorn missed their first two championship games – a narrow win in Wales and controversial home loss to France – with a knee injury, forcing coach Gregor Townsend to play regular wing Kyle Rowe and uncapped Harry Paterson at number 15.
