    Anyone going to Murrayfield tomorrow?

    Scotland is playing England tomorrow (17:00) at Murrayfield... at least that's what all the online sites say... in an opening Six Nations match.

    Any XMarkers going? Can you post photos if so?

    It will be televised live in the USA on BBC America and I'll be watching.

    I'll be listening for what the pipers play, as I'm going to be piping for Scotland at the Las Vegas Rugby 7s in a week.
    Carried away by the madness of fight, the English knight charged straight into the Spanish array. Here and there tossed the white plume of the English helmet, rising and falling like the foam upon a wave, until at last it had sunk from view, and another brave man had turned from war to peace.

    Unfortunately not but, like you, I'll be watching it live on TV (just after the France/Italie match).

    I certainly haven't seen nearly as much rugby as you over there have, being here in the States where rugby "flies under the radar" as a very minor sport.

    But all my impressions of that match: that it was rather tedious, that neither side looked impressive, that Scotland didn't deserve to win, were all echoed by Scots on the Tartan Army message board (though they used much more colourful language replete with sh!tes and f*cks and the like).

    Neither side exhibited the flowing game or the precise passing or the clever combination play of the All Blacks or other top sides.

    BTW it was disappointing that BBC America televised the match in Low Definition...here in the Year Of Our Lord 2012...very fuzzy on my 51" screen!
