Good morning all!
In the wake of Saturday's 'no show' in the Calcutta Cup, can anyone tell me if England have ever won a match after falling ten points behind?
Many thanks in advance
Chick

Hello Brian
Well, you must be very proud of your rugby team north of the border! By contrast, I am absolutely flabbergasted. After Cardiff, I was beginning to think that Scotland would not be able to repeat their form of the Autumn Internationals. How wrong could I be? They were truly magnificent, and almost any of them could have won the Man of the Match award. Your back row three were so hungry. Their speed and accuracy at the breakdown was as good as any I have seen in the last ten years. They, for me, won the game. Finn Russell's wonderful long pass was worth a place in any coaching video. I could go on and on singing Scotland's praises - just think of what might have been if they had played like that in Cardiff!
England are desperate for another scrum half. Care Is brilliant at impersonating Norman Wisdom, flapping his arms and screaming 'Mr Grimsdale!'. Watson and Brown have got to learn to speak to each other etc. etc. I hope Scotland can play like that at Dublin in two weeks' time - that will really put the cat among the pigeons!
As always, my best wishes to you and Marea.
Kind regards
Chick
