f4f3Scotland beat England at rugby yesterday. They beat a heavier, technically more accomplished side by confronting them with spirit, hunger to win and the absolute refusal to break, even when bent so far back they could have seen their own heels.
I couldn't actually watch the game, but I listened on extremely crackly medium-wave between Invergordon and Drumnadrochit and, to be honest, I listened with a lump in my throat. Our line outs were terrible, our scrums just about adequate, and we didn't score a try, but that didn't matter. England came to play to their strengths, and when they couldn't batter or bully their way through they became baffled and, I would have to say, they went down to defeat tamely.
The English coach said that they would have to go home and do some thinking. The Corries couldn't have put it better.
Oh, and Chickenfeet, you owe me a dollar...
