I’m going to gloat, so apologies in advance to Briggy and Gordon (EDIT: and Pix!) - but it would appear that their beloved homeland of Scotland has pulled up it’s kilt and let it’s arse get whupped by the boyos from the Principality.

First they got beaten trounced in the six nations rugby last weekend and then last night they got beaten thrashed 4-0 (that’s FOUR - NIL) in the football.

We haven’t been Scotland in the six nations since 2000 (when Scotland won one game - the last match of the competition against England and in doing so, stopped the boys in white from getting a Grand Slam). We drew against them in 2001 and lost in both 2002 and 2003. 2000 was also the last time we ranked higher than Scotland in the final standings too. In fact, it’s been ten years since we last won the Six (or Five as it was back then) Nations.

Still, Saturday is the next big clash for our boyos. Another Clash of the Celts against Ireland on Sunday at Lansdowne Road. (That’s in Dublin if you don’t know.)

But it’s Calcutta Cup time for poor old Scotland and the way things are shaping up, the match on Saturday against England could be the end of pretty poor fortnight for them.
