All those hunky men in shorts!

But seriously, what a second half that was, Scotland woke up and went for it, amazing. It was good.

[Ellipsis]

As an England fan, I'm gutted with the result having been 31-0 up.

As a Scotland fan, I'd be gutted with the result having got to 31-38.

In the end more of a lose-lose than a win-win, but from 31-31 it was gripping watching,.

Gave up watching not long after the start of the second half.
I have no idea what the English team have been up to this tournament.

After Wales secured the Grand Slam (well done Wales) I was a bit meh about the England v Scotland match ....but what unbelievable match and an absolutely fantastic watch.

Really enjoyed it and both teams deserve praise.

A Geordie, his son and twa Scots had a great couple of hours in the pub.

A Kiwi piper in full Highland dress joined us for the last 20ish minutes.

What a result!

The Calcutta Cup is made from melted down rupees and was played for by English and Scottish regiments in India. It was brought back to UK when British troops pulled out of India. It is the oldest rugby trophy in the world.
