Rugby: Scotland 33-6 England [15-2-1986]

[@princemishkin1601]

Bill Mclaren, the finest commentator ever. No game is the same without him.

[@steffanhoffmann]

The late Eddie Butler, as the game developed Bill mixed up the decisions.

[@user-ci3pd5pg3h]

I grew up in Ireland listening to Bill. His voice will stay with me to the grave. Wonderful. The man from the borders with a wee sheep farm on the wing today. Love it so much. Best team game in the world

[@KeithWilliamMacHendry]

Gentleman Bill MacLaren, such a lover of rugby union with no bias. Bill you are loved & missed. ♥

[@johnferguson40]

BILL Mclaren.

[@loumanlouman5979]

English No8 at 8.42 punching his teammate twice.😂

[@berthranddesplantes]

Many thanks . Berthrand from Frannce

[@Phil-1]

8:00 Rutherford sending 4 English defenders the wrong way is just magnificent

[@stevenlurie1215]

Bill McLaren you bloody legend. Love from 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@getthecansin]

Murray field was a beautiful ground. Loved the old stadia

[@petersyme7083]

The game has changed so much

[@lennyl1978]

John Jeffrey, Jim Calder and John beattie were a tremendous back row then Finlay calder added

[@genghisthegreat2034]

I was in Murrayfield late in Gavin Hastings career..... " Flick it with your wheelchair Gavin"

[@horrortackleharry]

2:48 High tackles were just part of the game back then. Now we'd have 15 minutes of replays from every angle and a red card. Followed by a formal appeal inquest a few days later. [Note how Maclaren praises the tackle, then rather sheepishly mentions that the ref has awarded the penalty for it being high]

[@amcmenemy5647]

The Best Commentator ever.

[@stuartgrier5605]

Bill Mclaren is THE voice of Rugby.

[@gordonroy7860]

Lovely stuff

[@BookimCrocker]

The good old days of booing the kicker ..😮😮. Decent Scotland team that.

[@BookimCrocker]

@Talorc MacAllan I think todays team might be even better 🤫

[@davidw.robertson448]

What I am struck by is the huge size of the crowd, the vast majority in the open air. I suppose many of us watch the game today on TV or KZbin.

[@admiralbenbow5083]

They used to get 100,000 sometimes at Murrayfield. Standing meant you could get more in.

[@stuartgallacher9949]

The cost of going to an international game can be prohibitive these days. Never missed a game at the old Murrayfield in the 70s

[@rh5466]

More like this!

[@Valhalla88888]

OMG those English thugs punching the Scots scrum half English #3 in todays day it would be a red card...

[@bobbytreetop1701]

Clash of the public school boys .

[@admiralbenbow5083]

England were crap then. In fact we were even crapper than we are now. Colcloughs handling was straight out of the bottom drawer.

[@andrewmason7392]

To be fair he was a decent player and must have been burst by then, that was a very quick and brutal game of rugby 😅 Only the fittest survived 🤣🤣

[@waverunner3911]

Then England moved on and won the World Cup

[@davidsimpson6985]

Cry more

[@admiralbenbow5083]

Yeh. 17 years later.

[@stanleybuchan4610]

With England's money and resources they should hang their heads in shame. Scotland should never beat them; but we do, often.

[@admiralbenbow5083]

17 years later...

[@EinMagillaGorilla]

I remember this well. Flower of Scotland.

[@waverunner3911]

Then England moved on and won a world cup ✔️

[@davidw.robertson448]

The glory days of Scottish rugby. When indeed will we see their like again.😏

[@ianroberts2121]

did Scotland sing Flower of Scotland then?

[@davidw.robertson448]

@@ianroberts2121 From Wikipedia: "The song has been used as an anthem by the Scotland rugby union team, ever since the winger, Billy Steele, encouraged his team-mates to sing it on the British Lions tour of South Africa in 1974.[5] The song was adopted as the pre-game anthem for the 1990 Five Nations Championship, first non-officially for the initial home game against France,[6] then for the deciding match between Scotland and England at Murrayfield, which Scotland won 13-7 to win the Grand Slam.[7][8] The Scottish Football Association adopted "Flower of Scotland" as its pre-game national anthem in 1997[9] although it was first used by them in 1993.[10] Usually only the first and third verses are sung. The most common shouted interjections are "'Gainst who?" and "Bastards"."

And then most of that team voted no to independence.a traitors game.
