I grew up in Ireland listening to Bill. His voice will stay with me to the grave. Wonderful. The man from the borders with a wee sheep farm on the wing today. Love it so much. Best team game in the world
2:48 High tackles were just part of the game back then. Now we'd have 15 minutes of replays from every angle and a red card. Followed by a formal appeal inquest a few days later. [Note how Maclaren praises the tackle, then rather sheepishly mentions that the ref has awarded the penalty for it being high]
With more money, facilities and players than any other nation,, English rugby has clubs going bankrupt and a ridiculous committee/management structure that pays very well but has only produced 1 World Cup lead by an apparent football fan in the blowhard Woodward. Much less than the sum of its parts!!

Bill Mclaren, the finest commentator ever. No game is the same without him.
The late Eddie Butler, as the game developed Bill mixed up the decisions.

Gentleman Bill MacLaren, such a lover of rugby union with no bias. Bill you are loved & missed. ♥
BILL Mclaren.
English No8 at 8.42 punching his teammate twice.😂
8:00 Rutherford sending 4 English defenders the wrong way is just magnificent
Was at this game. Scots pack were magnificent and ran the English eight ragged. There were some brutal exchanges in the forwards.
Bill McLaren you bloody legend. Love from 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
The game has changed so much
John Jeffrey, Jim Calder and John beattie were a tremendous back row then Finlay calder added
Murray field was a beautiful ground. Loved the old stadia
The Best Commentator ever.

The good old days of booing the kicker ..😮😮. Decent Scotland team that.
@Talorc MacAllan I think todays team might be even better 🤫
Lovely stuff
I was in Murrayfield late in Gavin Hastings career.....
" Flick it with your wheelchair Gavin"
Many thanks .

Bill Mclaren is THE voice of Rugby.
What I am struck by is the huge size of the crowd, the vast majority in the open air. I suppose many of us watch the game today on TV or TH-cam.
They used to get 100,000 sometimes at Murrayfield. Standing meant you could get more in.
The cost of going to an international game can be prohibitive these days. Never missed a game at the old Murrayfield in the 70s
More like this!
England were crap then. In fact we were even crapper than we are now. Colcloughs handling was straight out of the bottom drawer.
To be fair he was a decent player and must have been burst by then, that was a very quick and brutal game of rugby 😅 Only the fittest survived 🤣🤣
Clash of the public school boys .
OMG those English thugs punching the Scots scrum half English #3 in todays day it would be a red card...
Then England moved on and won the World Cup
Cry more
Yeh. 17 years later.
With England's money and resources they should hang their heads in shame. Scotland should never beat them; but we do, often.

I remember this well. Flower of Scotland.
Then England moved on and won a world cup ✔️
The glory days of Scottish rugby. When indeed will we see their like again.😏
did Scotland sing Flower of Scotland then?
