THE CALCUTTA CUP IS COMING BACK TO EDINBURGH!

We win a third consecutive home Calcutta Cup, and a fifth of the last six!

An excellent opening quarter put us in charge, and Jones’ breakaway try from Matt Fagerson’s charge down of Ford’s drop goal attempt in truth sealed it.

Sione Tuipulotu will soon lift the Calcutta Cup as captain for the first time.
