For those with BT sport there’s a good documentary about England v Scotland 1990 titled The Grudge which covers the grand slam decider of that year, and compares it to the political backdrop of the time.


I watched it. Turns out we were robbed ;-)

Was that the match where David Sole cut one of the sleeves off his shirt?

According to the interwebs that was 1991 world cup, but yes, perhaps based on experiences in 1990 grand slam win against England in which they beat England to win the match and the championship and the grand slam by winning against England, who lost. :-) G

I remember the match, it was a good way of bonding with my all male work team. I started my first proper job in January 1990 and a love of rugby was the thing that first broke the ice with them :-)

I then shocked them all by declaring I was a French fan :-o
