HERE ARE THE ANTHEMS TO SING ALONG!

First the home nation

SCOTLAND

O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND

(Usually only the 1st and 3rd verse is sung at matches)


O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

The Calcutta Cup is a game played between Scotland and England since 1879.

England has won just over half of the 119 matches.

England has held this cup since 2009!

Congratulations to France team and all fans, commiserations to
Italy team and fans.

Many thanks to Radio Jem and to our Head Cheerleader Cyprus Pat and all who have followed this first game. Hope to be back later for Scotland v England game

Wales game tomorrow (Land of My Fathers), I will be singing along LOUDLY then with the tissues at my side. Always very emotional for me and many others too.

Well done Italy you took on mighty France and gave them a shock. The other teams will now be wary of you. :-)

JemimaFawr Report 6 Feb 2016 16:12

Italy have to hold on to the ball and either score a try or a drop goal

Once the ball goes out of play, it's all over!
