Wonder what a programme cost in Rome today?

We used to buy Programmes at all the Scotland Rugby games when we went as a family, for years. Our “boys” absorbed the contents. This one surfaced the other day at home.

Italy v Scotland today in 2020 Six Nations. A poor affair; a win for Scotland, but not great entertainment.

It was better than the notable Scotland v Italy game in 2007 - we arrived harassed; we’d parked at my office and walked in to Murrayfield as many times before, but there were long delays at turnstiles. We reached our seats as the anthems started. A sort of in, sit down, stand up, sit down and ... game on sequence. A charged down try in first 30 secs and two interceptions by Italy (two subsequent tries), meant Scotland were three tries down by 6 mins. I nearly suggested we go home.... eventually we lost 17-37. Memorable.

Rain and blasts of snow much of today. Older son and fiancé dropped by at lunchtime to borrow a ladder Our younger one was leading a group doing the Duke of Edinburgh Award and just got home to his house as rugby started.

PS some great players listed in the old programme.
