Grand Slam 90

John Beattie looks back at the gripping Five Nations rugby championship of 1990, one of the most remarkable moments in Scottish sporting history. The Scottish team had been written off as the underdogs while the confident English side were travelling north to Murrayfield having destroyed every other team in the competition.

Both teams went into the last match with the championship and the Grand Slam as the prize. Rugby fans the world over were eagerly awaiting the outcome of this thrilling winner-takes-all decider, and the match more than lived up to its billing.
