EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph from the Six Nations Championship match between Scotland and England in 2006, Chris Paterson of the Scottish national rugby team triumphantly holds aloft the Calcutta Cup at Murrayfield Stadium. The Calcutta Cup is a cherished trophy in the rich history of rugby union between Scotland and England, with the first contest taking place in 1879. The Six Nations Championship, then known as the Five Nations Championship, is the annual international rugby union competition involving the teams of England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales. The 2006 Six Nations Championship was a closely contested tournament, with both Scotland and England vying for the Calcutta Cup. In this particular match, Scotland emerged victorious, securing a hard-fought 18-12 win over their English rivals. The atmosphere at Murrayfield was electric, with the home crowd roaring their team on to victory. Chris Paterson, a key player for Scotland, played a pivotal role in the team's success. The fly-half was instrumental in securing the crucial points for Scotland, converting tries and slotting home penalties. His impressive performance on the day earned him the accolade of being named Man of the Match. As Paterson lifts the Calcutta Cup above his head, the joy and relief on his face is evident. The image captures the raw emotion and excitement of the moment, encapsulating the passion and pride that comes with representing one's country in international rugby union competition. This photograph is a testament to the enduring rivalry between Scotland and England and the thrill of victory in the Six Nations Championship.
