	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Calcutta Cup
		The Calcutta Cup is a rugby union trophy awarded to the winner of the annual Six Nations Championship match between England and Scotland.
		In 1988 the cup was damaged by the antics of some drunken players, including England number eight Dean Richards and Scotland flanker John Jeffrey who played football with the Calcutta Cup along Princes Street in Edinburgh.
		The RFU refused to turn the Calcutta Cup into a knock-out competition for English club sides (since they believed that ‘competitiveness’ ran against the amateur ethos) but instead decided that a game should be played each year between England and Scotland and whoever wins will keep it for that year.

		Sure, he said, you always have an eye on the World Cup, but autumn was the time for experimentation and even then it was to get the balance right for the Six Nations, not France in 2007.
		Understandable because I suspect Bernard Laporte remembers his inner turmoil last season when Scotland were in with a shout until a touch judge said a try-scoring Scottish foot was in touch and the referee had an aberration, dismissing the wrong Scot (even if it was a sending off offence).

		England lost their six-year grip on the Calcutta Cup at a sell-out Murrayfield today to a tenacious Scotland side roared on by their delirious fans.
		Paterson did stretch Scotland’s lead to 15-12 later when replacement lock Simon Shaw was penalised for going in at the side of a ruck only for Hodgson to again reply with four minutes left on the clock after wing Sean Lamont had strayed off side at a ruck.
		But, as England did the same at the other end in their efforts to find a winning try Patterson was handed one more chance of a pot at goal and duly obliged to seal the match and give Scotland their 40th win in the 113th Calcutta Cup match.
