Introduced by Cliff Morgan at Hughenden, Glasgow.
Largely due to their strong, heavy pack Edinburgh start the day as favourites, but with Glasgow able to call on three of the victorious British Lions in Sandy Carmichael, Ian McLauchlan and Gordon Brown, the struggle for possession is only one facet of today's game.
For the players it is much more than the annual battle between Scotland's principal cities. This match has often been called a 'Trial for a Trial' and the best players of the day could find themselves with international caps.

A film that recalls the epic days of the fast sailing ships of 100 years ago, and the men who served in them: told in their own words from letters, logs and memories and with historic film of life and hardship in the great square-riggers.
The story of the fast merchant ships of the 19th century is a mixture of beauty and horror - the magnificence of the great iron vessels driven by the wind and the savage life of those who worked them.
"Wherever the voyage went you needed no passport - and death was at your elbow daily."
(From Birmingham)
