The National Match - Wins Like Buses
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:36 pm
Scotland wait 45 years for National win, then two come along at once.
England's selection for today's National match was clearly aimed at revenge for last year's Scottish win, but Scotland duplicated the Elcho 'two in a row' by also winning the National for the second year running - Scotland had to wait 45 years for the 2010 victory. To put the win in perspective, the last time anyone other than England won twice in a row was 1900. Ireland have won once, and Wales are still waiting.
National Match in progress.
