Paterson eyeing Twickenham success
Chris Paterson has urged Scotland to produce the "special" result against England that could save head coach Frank Hadden's job.
Saturday's RBS 6 Nations defeat to Ireland has put Hadden in real danger of failing to fulfil the minimum target of two championship victories set by his employers at the Scottish Rugby Union.
"I've never won there (at Twickenham). I can't think I've been really close to winning there, to be honest," said Paterson. "It's the Auld Enemy, it's a fortress and I think you'd not be a true Scotsman if it didn't get you pretty deep to go down there and do something special."
Paterson is desperate to finish the championship on a winning note both for the country and for the under-fire Hadden.
"You're at the end of a block of eight weeks' work," he said.
"I'll be determined and everybody else involved will be determined to finish that block on a high and do something that's not happened for a long time in winning at Twickenham.
"I'm just desperate to be involved and I'll be excited to be involved to go and have a crack at them."
He added: "It's winning for Frank, it's winning for each other and it's winning for Scotland."
