There's a fabulous atmosphere here at Murrayfield.
It seems much more vibrant than at Dublin earlier. Or is that just me?

She'll chat with the Scots

So if you disappear Pat, we know you are filling your face ;-) :-D

Priya does that, must be the warmth or she pinches my blanket and pulls it right underneath her :-S

The players are already on the pitch and the bagpipes are being played

Princess Anne is being escorted to meet the men

There's the Princess Royal, Princess Anne. Patron of Scotland Rugby Union

My meal will be ready in about 20 mins :-D

I went to the loo and little Rhodri Podri (my silly rescued cat) had jumped into my seat by the computer in my absence!

I have had to trick him down with some treats :-D :-D :-D

SCOTLAND v ENGLAND ~ THE ANTHEMS

ENGLAND ANTHEM ~ GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.


O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND

Match-day Version

O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again?
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again


Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
