The Calcutta Cup is a rugby union trophy awarded to the winner of the annual Six Nations Championship match between England and Scotland. Tonight, the Calcutta Cup comes to Enemy Territory!
England go into this match deflated by their collapse at the hands of Italy, whilst Scotland have yet to compete in the competition proper. Whatever happens tonight as far as England are concerned it has to be a straightforward victory - if the match is either closely fought or England lose, then the knives will be out for Starzi and his players. The UK team will ensure of that.
The intense rivalry between these two nations cannot be understated. From Wallace to the highland clearances, from football to devolution – there’s a deep seated hatred bred into every man, woman and child. Could this intensity boil over tonight, and Kevlar lead his troops to the biggest upset in the UK scene since UKEG destroyed SoF on oasis?
