Terrific match. We watched this in the pub in Aviemore. There was a table of England supporters near us who were obviously having a great time during the first half, but went a bit quiet when we came back. At the final whistle, I bumped into one of them on the way to the bar and in a strong Yorkshire accent I got -"Ere lad that were a fookin crackin' game. Best match I've seen int long time" I agreed, we shared a handshake. No animosity, no moaning, no ifs or buts - just solid appreciation for the game. This is still my favourite Scotland match by a long shot, even though it was a draw.
This match should be displayed as an example of how to play with the right attitude. Both teams, showed how to never give up, believe in yourself and each other, and you can overcome. Bravo and thank you for sharing such glorious triumph of spirit.
Although I am a Welsh fan and am disappointed with their 6 nations tournament, I have always thought Scotland were an unlucky team, often playing superb rugby, but not coming away with the win. good luck Scotland !!!
I am Scottish but live in the SW of England (all my life). I enjoy the banter and can stand my ground. I was busy telling everyone in the pub that it was only Scotland B as there were so many injuries. Then the turnaround and all hell broke loose. Great day in the Digby Tap in Sherborne, great rugby banter and great following a sport where you can have that banter without a fight. I will never forget that match, I doubt I will see another like it. It was a 3 day hangover.
I'm a Scot who lives in the English Midlands. I remember my pals consoling me coming up to half time and telling me at least McInally had salvaged a consolation try. By the end, they were all cheering England scraping a draw... says a lot about their second half performance. Fair play to my mates they were good about it and I got bought a few pints after the game.
English here. Was the most outrageous Calcutta Cup match I can ever remember - the atmosphere in the stadium was amazing and all fans left dumbfounded, flabbergasted and together drank in the mutual victory of an incredible draw!
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 Sublime, incredible, amazing, inspirational, poetry, it’s difficult to know which word describes this. Arch best. Two excellent sides…this is rugby at its best.
yeah, no clue what the ref was arguing there? "they both ended up on the floor..." yeah, and? thats no argument why the shoulder charge is any more legal. He purposfully tucks his arm in so it hits harder...
He got away with 2 at least yellow carded "tackles" against South Africa and Australia which were crucial as they stopped what would likely have been tries. Farrell has proved fragile against Scotland since this game and the recent win for Scotland just rubs it in more. I watched this game online to a Gaelic commentary. I couldn't understand a word, but the last 45 minutes of the game would be the most exciting I have seen. Oh, except the 96-19 drubbing of the Waratahs by the Crusaders in 2002. Andrew Mehrtens converted 13 of the 14 tries scored that day.
@@Carlo42 He was/is the 'poster child' of English Rugby, been getting away with stuff like this for years. Now don't get me wrong, I'm old enough to remember and celibrate 'hard rugby'. I have witnessed plenty of 'dubious' tackles, Finlay Calder and David Leslie weren't shy about 'putting it about a bit' as they say. What grinds my gears is we are now in a time where 'player safety' is paramount, or so they say. I've seen plenty of players get Reds for stuff that was, wrong place, wrong time and accidental at worst. He's nasty with it and appears to be made of teflon. In the old days he'd have got his on the field!!!!
@@paulcasey4282 Is that really what you saw there? Please watch it again. You don't see him turn his body and his shoulder make contact with Grahams head? Is it not the tacklers responsibility to protect the other player? Law 9:25 A player must not intentionally charge or obstruct an opponent who has just kicked the ball. If his intention was to 'charge down' the kick, why wasn't his arms in the air? Now look at the footage again m8
I was at a Nottingham Panthers ice hockey match during this game and went in to the arena with us losing 31-0. I dreaded to think what the final score would be. When I came out at between periods and saw Scotland 'level', I had to look at the screen over and over again in disbelief. What a great game of rugby.
I was in Edinburgh that day watching it in a pub. Walked out disgusted before half time as it looked like Scotland were going to get hammered by 50 plus points. Heard a cheer from the pubs and thought, “a consolation score”. Then another and another. Rushed back to my hotel to see the last 30 minutes. Couldn’t believe what I was seeing, it was almost a win but I’ll take that draw all day long! Incredible game of rugby…
Scotland is an extremely impressive team, I think they are the one who understand the best the Colommiers method by Villepreux (and Galthié), they just lack a bit of technical consistency, finding the exact right move, this exact je-ne-sai-quoi. I know they got it in their guts, and we'll have a great RWC come Autumn ! From Paris with love,
I heard that the Scotland players trudged back to the dressing room at halftime fully expecting a real telling off from Townsend. Allegedly a group of senior players told Townsend to be quiet. They said to him that they had been playing to his instructions for 40 minutes and look where that has got them. In the second half we will play the game our way; the rest is history.
Effectivement, match époustouflant ! Et ponctué de nombreux et beaux essais.... Mais pour moi, le match le plus époustouflant restera pour longtemps la finale de la coupe du monde de 2011 entre la Nouvelle- Zélande, avec l'aimable collaboration de l'arbitre, contre la France, match joué à 16 contre 15.....
C'est vrai pourtant avec si peu de points, mais sous tension tout le match, on méritait pas forcément d'arriver en final mais la final on méritait de la gagner
EXACT quel scandale ... même chose pour la finale contre l'Afrique du sud où l'arbitre refuse l'essai français à la dernière minute, politiquement il fallait que l'Afrique du sud de Mandela gagne...
@@bernardjames6875 Exact. Afrique du Sud (mais c'était une demi-finale si mes souvenirs sont bons) et Nouvelle-Zélande DEVAIENT absolument gagner pour des raisons politiques et économiques....Les arbitres ont donné un "petit" (mdr) coup de main....
Je n'ai pas connaissance d'une telle remontada dans le rugby international ! Quel magnifique match , mais peut-être que la victoire des Blacks face à l'Australie ou celui de la France en 99 valent davantage au niveau de l'intensité ? Tout cela reste subjectif , en attendant merci aux deux équipes !
Utterly mental game of rugby. I was willing Scotland to let England score in the corner to give them a difficult conversion. Didnae know whether to celebrate or be pissed off at the end up but great entertainment.
As a very proud Scot, never have I been so devastated not to win and yet so happy to draw. 2023 is thus far a repeat of what we saw in this game........World class rugby 🏉 Bring on The Frogs!!
Was the most outrageous Calcutta Cup match I can ever remember - the atmosphere in the stadium was amazing and all fans left dumbfounded, flabbergasted and together drank in the mutual victory of an incredible draw!
I watched this match and it has to be one of the best of all time...how Scotland didn't win it in the end, they obliterated England....I was shocked and stunned. I thought we had it wrapped up....
I was the only Scot in a bar full of England fans. My head wad in my hands at half time, but the England fans were doing the same at the end of the match. This match was the beginning of England losing. It was the beginning of Scotland gaining confidence we could beat any other team.
Magic Russell and Captain Scotland were amazing that day. I really think this was the game that prompted Jones to think about shifting into an all-out kick-and-chase defensive gameplan later.
Fantastic by Scotland, but the lack of commitment in defence by England is pretty elementary. I love it. There is a picture of pure joy, and it’s a Scotsman celebrating giving England a good hiding.
If any game shows why Farrell should not be England's no 10, this displays it brilliantly. 1st try - poor kick charged down. No need to do anything like that at 31-0 up. Equalising try - poor pass leading to an interception. No arms tackle - could well have been a yellow.
Last comment in the video is "England has saved themselves" - Not true at all. Once again Ferrell gets off the hook - the ref saved England "once again".
Was I the only scotsman that turned the tv off at half time. My biggest regret ever. Not sure who was the happiest team. Both must have felt lost and won.
This game is even more beautiful because it's a draw. Neither team deserved to loose and neither team lost. It should be shown to NBA executives who don't want draws even during the regular season.
Wonderful match! Bonkers of course but pure entertainment……..love Hastings/Nicol (interchangeable nonsense) comment…..” England have pressed the self-construct button…..” aye. Right.
I guess that is the correct score for the match given that the one team dominated for the first half and then the other for the second half. Can't really tell why these two teams played this way but the final score seems to be a good representation of the match.
After the 80 minutes were up, and Just before England's last ditch try to equalize, England almost scored right on the left touchline. I really wished they had scored then because the conversion was far more difficult. Wasn't to be. Great game though.
Too early to say because beating France in Paris is a big ask and defeating a rampant Ireland would be a monumental result. Important that Scotland doesn't get ahead of itself and puts too much pressure on the players.
Hadn't seen this game till now. There's a truth that no one wants a draw, compared to kissing ones sister, just feels wrong. Funny how anything but a draw would have done either teams an injustice, such a magnificent display of top world class rugby.
Even though was gutted didn’t win but more than proud that the scots achieved the impossible, probably even some other great international teams wouldn’t have done it. But just shows we fight till the end
Do you think that Scotland will win this 6 Nations ?
Yes
What is important - england will not! Slainte
Non
C’est une belle équipe !

That was absolutely mental, that game. Didnae know whether to laugh or cry at the end up! What a match.
Sean Maitland- absolute class every time he wore the Scotland shirt

From Paris with love,
Both sides played amazingly but just in different half’s! Absolutely without doubt the best game I’ve seen!
100% what Thomas said. As a Scotsman I was hiding behind the couch at 31-0 but what a comeback and what a game. Best ever!!

We won't mention the knock on.

Absolutely amazing,what a come back and awesome referring.cheers.
The jocks in that stadium must have been absolutely buzzing during this👍👍👍👍👍👍
Beau match plein de rebondissements, bravo aux joueurs écossais et anglais 👍
The day Townsend listened to the team and let Russell guide them in the second half
Je n'ai pas connaissance d'une telle remontada dans le rugby international !
Quel magnifique match , mais peut-être que la victoire des Blacks face à l'Australie ou celui de la France en 99 valent davantage au niveau de l'intensité ?

Brilliant match, and a moral victory for Scotland after that despicably not straight throw in 😁
i fear for Ireland. Scotlands never say die has become frightening
Miaow!!!
Fitting end to a very great game. My knee started to hurt, just watching it. Cheers 😂
Vive l'Ecosse libre !
Blablabla
the ref bottled it, Faz should have got a yellow, that "protecting himself" line was bollocks.
100%
I watched this game live on Tv, I agree with the description
Finn Russell was magnificent that day.
Magic Russell and Captain Scotland were amazing that day.
I really think this was the game that prompted Jones to think about shifting into an all-out kick-and-chase defensive gameplan later.
OMG! SO SHOCKED. NOT SURE I WILL EVER RECOVER! so so shocked
Farrell with no arms again
Another occasion for Farrell to go away unpunished for his trademark shoulder charge. It should have been a red card, imho
Fantastic by Scotland, but the lack of commitment in defence by England is pretty elementary. I love it.
There is a picture of pure joy, and it’s a Scotsman celebrating giving England a good hiding.

1st try - poor kick charged down. No need to do anything like that at 31-0 up.
Equalising try - poor pass leading to an interception.
No arms tackle - could well have been a yellow.
yet again Farrell protected by the officials that was a dangerous no arms tackle should have been at least 10 minutes.
Eliot Daly should have been red carded for the shoulder charge on the cameraman at 5:14 minutes
Wow! Entertaining even for me who don’t know rugby particularly well
Epoustouflant , et cette année encore le chardon a battu la rose à Twickenam ...ça fait du bien ! n'est il pas?
Beautiful delayed pass to 12 to score for Scotland
A no-look pass... and he was hammered for it.
Absolute belter of a game.
Not one of the spectators there could go home saying that they weren't entertained. A great match!
Finn Russell "The Sniper passer".
Epoustouflant! Belle énergie.
Last comment in the video is "England has saved themselves" - Not true at all. Once again Ferrell gets off the hook - the ref saved England "once again".
The Most Jaw-Dropping Rugby Match in History. Great game but thats a bold statement
2019: I had to look it up. Great game, despite woeful tackling; both teams look better now though.
Well Scotland do.
Well that was a well blown lead by England. Fortunate to have got the draw.
Well played Scotland.
AB supporter.
Yeah, that was a good one!
What a fecking game, played in the proper way by real hard guys
Was I the only scotsman that turned the tv off at half time. My biggest regret ever. Not sure who was the happiest team. Both must have felt lost and won.
Incredible match... Still remember that
What a beautyfull sport.💪
Don't know about "shocked the world" match 🤔 but definitely surprised everyone watching, including the whole of Scotland 😮
Some it up in 1 word...EPIC
The best Scotland ever
England went from 31-0 up to celebrating a try to secure a draw. Crazy match.
Yes you can't argue with that description

HOW did the English lose that? (38-38) One of THE BEST comeback footy games ever
My Jaw dropped dude LOL
And Scotland have dominated ever since 🏴
This game is even more beautiful because it's a draw. Neither team deserved to loose and neither team lost.
It should be shown to NBA executives who don't want draws even during the regular season.
Amazing nail biter. This one is a perfect video for one of those American 'Reaction' channels.
Brilliant match
Never shocked anyone!!!
My dad didn't hate England he just supported the team playing against them :)
Tremendo. Resultado muy justo 👍
Wonderful match! Bonkers of course but pure entertainment……..love Hastings/Nicol (interchangeable nonsense) comment…..” England have pressed the self-construct button…..” aye. Right.
06:21 Farrell shoulder charging a kicker. He has had years to learn to change his tackle technique but seems to have refused to do so.
Upfront I thought this was a Billy Beaumont copy and then the 2nd half....🏴🏴🏴
I guess that is the correct score for the match given that the one team dominated for the first half and then the other for the second half. Can't really tell why these two teams played this way but the final score seems to be a good representation of the match.
Rugby is fight with respect. And a beer afterwards in friends.
How did I miss this game!~ ? when was this?
After the 80 minutes were up, and Just before England's last ditch try to equalize, England almost scored right on the left touchline. I really wished they had scored then because the conversion was far more difficult. Wasn't to be. Great game though.
5:11 - cameraman is a dangerous job 🤕
Too early to say because beating France in Paris is a big ask and defeating a rampant Ireland would be a monumental result. Important that Scotland doesn't get ahead of itself and puts too much pressure on the players.
7:04 what is the music ?
Woww excelente rugby
England's biggest let off ever!
If only Scotland could put the same belief and never say die attitude into playing teams other than England they could be world beaters.
Gave up watching this at half time 😂
