Head coach was pleased with the way his players adapted to treacherous conditions to beat
Scotland at MurrayfieldSometimes the most forgettable of games leave the most indelible of impressions. Not for 20 years has a Calcutta Cup fixture been played in more atrocious conditions and seldom have so many travelling fans experienced so many problems getting home afterwards. For those left stranded by cancelled trains and planes, flying to Kolkata for the weekend would have involved slightly less hassle.
In one case an easyJet plane which had flown from Edinburgh to Stansted was forced to abort its landing at the last moment and return to Scotland. Bemused passengers were subsequently informed their next available flight would depart on Tuesday. With flooding close to the airport having also left car rental firms unable to release most of their vehicles, only a fortunate few made it back on schedule.
