Tait brothers could bring sibling rivalry to auld enemies clash
The prospect of two brothers lining up on opposite sides in the Calcutta Cup has emerged as an intriguing possibility after the Scotland on Sunday's Iain Morrison learned that Newcastle Falcons fullback Alex Tait is considering throwing his hat into the ring with Scotland.
"According to sources at the Falcons, where Mathew started his career and where Alex still plays, the younger of the two eldest Tait brothers is contemplating testing family loyalties by opting for Scotland if, of course, he gains selection.
"Alex, who was born in County Durham, may choose to hedge his bets and see whether he is included in the England Saxons squad for the international against Ireland on 31 January before making a decision. England are not notably short of fullbacks, including brother Mathew who can do a very decent job as the last line of defence."
