England have won just two of their last eight against top opposition . They have six proper games and three friendlies before the World Cup . One of them is Saturday 's Calcutta Cup clash with Scotland at Twickenham . They must treat this and the France Six Nations games like the World Cup . Danny Cipriani , Steffon Armitage and Henry Slade must play for England . Make James Haskell captain against Scotland and rest Chris Robshaw . Introduce speed to the back row absent in Robshaw , Haskell and Vunipola . Improve kicking by luring back Jonny Wilkinson 's mentor Dave Alred .
