Skyumpi Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I was lucky enough to be in Embra for the Calcutta Cup match of 1990.England, as the Press would have had us believe, had only to turn up to collect not only the CC but also to take the Grand Slam and the Five Nations.David Sole and Scotland had other ideas and put in a magnificent performance (with some incredible defensive play holding England just a few nailbiting yards from the try line) to lift the trophies.I had made several drink-fuelled outlandish bets with some English friends in the week leading up to this game and magnanimously allowed them to be commutated to cases of beer or bottles of whisky as we enjoyed one almighty party that night. John Jeffries and some of the English players must have had a similarly wild night as they were reputed to have played rugby with the Calcutta Cup itself up the Royal Mile during some of the post match shennaigans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
