Dear Phoenix,

I'm so glad to inform you, as requested, that Scotland beat England 15-9.

Yes, I'm as surprised as you.

But happy. Slight recovery on a shite 6-nations for us. Hope it doesn't stop them sacking Haddock!

one can but dream and hope eh?[/quote]

Perhaps slightly known for my anti-English tendencies (at least when it comes to rugby) I walked into the British Embassy this afternoon for the match and was greeted by the overwhelmingly English crowd with the line: "That doubles the numbers of Scottish supporters." Ha. Spine and co. weren't laughing at the end though.

Well Gilly, if it takes Scotladn to win to get you to come out of the woodwork then roll on more wins for scotland EXCEPT against England of course !

And Gilly, get me name right man !, its spelt that way on purpose.

he might spell your name properly if you spelled his (and my) country properly

Gilly is Gilly, or do you refer to him as Mark, the first Scotland was a typo but i'm sure you noticed i corrected myself on the second go at it.

yes Seggiest was referring to the country, but in any case, first Scotland was spelt wrongly, and the second didn't get a capital letter. All counts you know....phew glad I spelt that right.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome. And by the way it's Marc

Please dont get on your high horse about a spelling mistake, we have enough of them around already, i'm in Dhaka not the best place on the earth to be so pls give me a break and excuse my spelling mistake etc...i'll also miss Rugby next weekend as one will be in Delhi, the hotel's trying to get the Rugby set up for me if not then i'm depending on my eit buddies or Seggie to keep me up to date by the minute as he did last weekend, he was a star..!

So you gonna drag me into this thread as well?

the bbc may give you radio coverage of the rugby particularly if you try a regional provider. I know that Radio Scotland was providing commentary even if you were not in the UK last weekend. You may want to investigate that option.

Seggie, change of plan i'll be coming back here ( Dhaka ) from Mumbai Saturday so have no chance to see the rugby, they can get it on radio for me but delayed and very crackly so......depending on my eit buddies to keep me in tune. Thanks in advance

Scotland beats England one week and lose to Italy the next 23-20. You've got to laugh. Well, I am.

well we had no chance in the six nations overall. We got the Calcutta Cup and nothing else left to play for.
