    What a bookend weekend France-NZ to kick off Wales-Fiji to round off Best game to bring curtain down. Matt Carley ridiculously lenient to Wales. Stuffed Fiji good and proper over yellow cards

    1,000 words filed from Murrayfield. What a match to warm the cockles. As good as I’ve seen here in 30 years of covering Calcutta Cup. Top game, top effort from Scotland.
