EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph from the Six Nations Championship match between Scotland and England at Murrayfield in the year 2000, Andy Nichol of the Scottish national rugby team is seen celebrating with his teammate Duncan Hodge after scoring a crucial try that brought Scotland within a convert's kick of tying the game against their arch-rivals England. The Calcutta Cup, a symbol of inter-British rugby supremacy, was at stake in this highly anticipated Five Nations encounter. The atmosphere at Murrayfield that day was electric, with both teams giving it their all on the pitch. England, who were the reigning champions, had started the match strongly and had taken a 13-point lead over Scotland. However, the home team refused to give up and fought back valiantly, with Nichol's try being a turning point in the game. The photograph captures the raw emotion and intensity of the moment, with Nichol's jubilant expression and Hodge's supportive pat on the back, as they both look towards the sideline, eagerly anticipating the conversion attempt. The crowd, which can be seen in the background, is a sea of blue and white, with fans on the edge of their seats, cheering and chanting for their team. The Northcliffe Collection, from which this photograph is taken, is a treasure trove of historical sports images, documenting some of the most iconic moments in the history of rugby and other sports. This particular photograph is a reminder of the fierce rivalry between Scotland and England in the Six Nations Championship and the thrill of the game that keeps fans coming back for more.
