A quick post because I'm still too excited to actually put a coherent thought together. A messy messy game of rugby, but the whole city is celebrating tonight because the final is score is all that matters, 15 - 9 was glorious to see up on the scoreboard. Scotland just executed the basic skills better than England. Especially kicking - major props to Chris Paterson, who has now made 30 kicks from 30 in test rugby - not even Johnny Wilkinson has that record (although he is now the all time leading points scorer in rugby). Dan Parks gets points for his whopper of a penalty kick from 40 meters out on the touch line, but his kicking from hand just didn't have the same impact that CP's did.
It was so awe inspiring to be in Murrayfield today - the energy was incredible and I literally had butterflies for the last 10 minutes of the game it was so intense. What a day! To top it off, I met one of my rugby heroes, Jim Hamilton, as I was leaving the stadium.
No words. It was a perfect day! OH FLOWER OF SCOTLAND...!
