Scotland 20 England 17 - Scotland retain the Calcutta Cup..... - 0762 - 05-02-2022
....with back to back trophy wins, the 1st time since 1984!!!
Eddie Jones trying to "play mind games" preceding this match and insisting Scotland were the favourites this time. Gregor Townsend having none of it and urging his troops to perform regardless. Scotland taking the lead and then losing it to England, but passed the test with a crucial penalty try and conversion to win the match "at the death". It's a pity we didn't "win it in style" at the end rather than it being a nerve-jangling finale for the fans - GOT THERE IN THE END AND A POSITIVE START TO SCOTLAND'S SIX NATIONS CAMPAIGN!! Well done!

A tense match all the way through, but Scotland have had years of living off scraps, England haven't. I honestly think that at 10-17, Jones thought the game was won and took off his star man. Arrogant clown.

Brilliant result.
Always good to get one over that arrogant tool Jones. Must be first time we have won back to back calcutta cups for a while!

For one south of the border always look forward to the teams defeat have been against them since they sold out to Sky in the late 1990's
