Max Evans is keen for a taste of Murrayfield Calcutta Cup action as he tries to help Scotland to a hat-trick of Edinburgh wins over England.

Glasgow star Evans has already sampled the occasion on enemy territory, having played in last season's RBS 6 Nations defeat at Twickenham.

The 26-year-old was wowed by the fervour of the travelling support that day but is expecting an exponential improvement in atmosphere this weekend.

"I was at Twickenham last year for the Six Nations and that experience with the Scottish support that was down there was pretty immense," Evans told Press Association Sport.

"I can only wonder what it'll be like at Murrayfield.

"I've heard a lot from the guys already - it's been talked about.

"The buzz surrounding the Calcutta Cup game is massive.

"I love when all the crowd come in and support us and get noisy.

"I just can't wait."

As well as enjoying his first experience of the fixture at Murrayfield on Saturday, Evans will also be making his first Test start at wing in what will be his 10th cap.

The position is not entirely alien to the outside centre, who has come off the bench to fill in there more than once.

He also revealed head coach Andy Robinson had given him some one-to-one tutelage on what he expects from the convert.

"He's said, 'I want you to go looking for the ball, I want you to get the ball and find a bit of space, especially target their front five'," Evans explained.

"I'm not just going to be standing on the wing twiddling my thumbs."

Evans made a number of half-breaks from centre in the defeat against Italy almost two weeks ago but they came to nought.

He added: "At this level, sometimes even a half-break is all it takes, a half-break and then an offload and the next person's in space.

"That's what I'll be doing all day on Saturday.

"On the wing, you do have a bit more licence if it's not coming down your side of the field.

"You can go round and have a look for it elsewhere."

Saturday sees captain Chris Cusiter face England for the fifth time.

The 27-year-old, who has tasted victory only once in those encounters, insists the highs and lows of the fixture are no greater than any other game.

"Any time you play for Scotland, it's a huge range of emotions," said the scrum-half, who was part of the 2006 winning team but missed out two years later.

"When you win, you're ecstatic, and when you don't, you're really low.

"That's just the nature of international rugby."

Despite leading Scotland to three defeats from his three matches as skipper, Cusiter believes they are tantalisingly close to a first win of the tournament.

"We're not far away but it is a big step to take to win these close games," he said.

"England are a huge physical challenge to us and are a world-class team on their day.

"So we're aware of the challenge that we're facing."
