I would add to Scotland's great moment of last year not just beating France, but England as well. You would have to go a long way back when a Scottish side took those two scalps. It's hard to believe it's been since 1999 when the scots last won a 6/5 Nations. After watching the Scottish backs literally throw away the game in Murrayfield against Italy was unreal.
I agree. It was a pretty magnificent year for them. I thought the Scotland/France game was fantastic and one of the highlights of the six nations last year.
I didn't put England down in highlights because I didn't think the English team of last year were any good. However - thinking about it - of coruse the Scots would have loved beating the English. In fact - who doesn't? If you are a member of the commonwealth, it is a birthright to enjoy the small treasure of beating England, in whatever sporting code, whenever it comes around. Just the way it is for us meek people from the colonies - having a go at the old master.
