Right royal mix-up - Princess Anne mistakes England prop Heyes for TV star Marler

  • Princess Anne mistakenly thought Joe Heyes was Joe Marler during a pre-match presentation at the Six Nations game against Scotland, and Heyes did not correct her, finding the incident amusing.
  • England lost 31-20 to Scotland at Murrayfield, extending their winless streak there to six years, which led coach Steve Borthwick to make three changes for the next match.
  • Henry Pollock, praised by Joe Heyes as confident and skilful, is set to start his first Test match, and captain Maro Itoje will earn his 100th cap.
