Evans and Haskell, both products of Wellington College and Maidenhead
It is the oldest fixture in international rugby and this year one Berkshire club has particular reason to enjoy the Calcutta Cup on Saturday.
Three of this year's participants were nurtured as junior players at Maidenhead Rugby Club.
Thom and Max Evans are in the starting fifteen for Scotland, while James Haskell is on the bench for England.
All three played their junior rugby at Maidenhead, having been schooled at nearby Wellington College.
They were coached at junior levels by former Scotland international Gordon MacDonald who told BBC Berkshire the club was "extremely proud".
He said the walls of the Maidenhead clubhouse were adorned with their mementoes.
"If you come to our club, all the shirts are up there, signed by the boys - Haskell and the Evans brothers.
"We also have Saxons and under-19s shirts from the likes of Tom Guest and Will Lowden of Scotland, so we're extremely proud."
MacDonald, currently player development manager for the club, added the success was not just down to Maidenhead.
Haskell had the skill and tremendous dedication. A lot of players have skill and power but not the dedication.

"We've been fortunate - there are some good schools in the area and we've managed to get a number of the players to come to Maidenhead when they're young.
"James Haskell joined us when he was five years old and we're very proud to see what he's doing for England.
"Haskell was big as a youngster and with the under-11s and 12s, the big boys tend to crash through.
"But Haskell also had the skill and tremendous dedication. He had that right through. A lot of players have skill and power but not the dedication.

"Thom was more of an athlete than a rugby player. He was a very, very fast runner and scored a lot of tries at junior levels because of his pure speed.
"He's become a much better rugby player rather than an athlete.
MacDonald, who won one cap for Scotland in 1969, said that there are several other former Maidenhead players involved in the professional game.
"Tom Guest is with Harlequins and the Saxons; Nils Mordt is at Northampton and London Irish before that; Stuart Mackie is at Nice, having joined them from London Irish."
And MacDonald added that the youth set-up at Maidenhead remains strong
"It goes right through from the under-7s to Colts. A lot of them then go off to university, but we keep tabs on them and hopefully they come back and play for Maidenhead.
"If we can progress up the leagues back to South West 1, then obviously it's more attractive for players to come to the club."
With no game for Maidenhead this weekend, the clubhouse is sure to be doing good business, albeit with divided loyalties.
