Summary
Sara channels her inner Sue Barker to host Rugby Union Weekly’s first ever Calcutta Cup quiz. And we have two worthy contestants going head-to-head with a combined 15 appearances in this famous fixture between them. John Barclay is back on the pod to represent Scotland, and he takes on our very own Danny Care who is looking for another England victory over the Auld Enemy. Who will lead their team to victory and lay down a marker ahead of Saturday’s showdown at Murrayfield? How many try scorers they can name? Who is taller Martin Johnson or Jim Hamilton? Do they even know how many handles are on the trophy?
