Rugby Special: The International Championship 1968-69: The Calcutta Cup: England v. Scotland

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Introduced by Cliff Morgan

The seventy-sixth Calcutta Cup match was played today. On the last occasion at Twickenham (in 1967) this fixture produced no less than 41 points with England winning 27-14.
Scotland have not won at Twickenham since 1938 and last year at Murrayfield Scottish Rugby reached despair yet again when England came from behind after being six points down to snatch victory and leave Scotland with the "wooden spoon".
Today's fixture matched an England XV supremely confident after their impressive victory over France against a Scottish side who after their promising win in Paris in the first International of the season later succumbed to the superior talents of Wales and Ireland.
