Scotland legend Finlay Calder, talking to the Scotsman's David Ferguson, believes there are reasons to be optimistic if you are Scottish.
"Finley Calder can recall many great performances from Scotland teams with which he was involved and he is renowned as one of the game’s straight-talkers off the field. So, when he forecast a Calcutta Cup victory it drew real interest.
Now 54, the former Scotland and British and Irish Lions captain joined forces with a host of former Scotland and England internationalists to support the new Glengoyne Auld Enemy Dinner in association with The Scotsman, which will be held on the eve of the Calcutta Cup each year in Edinburgh and London, to raise money for the Help for Heroes and Bill McLaren Foundation charities.
Calder believes Scotland’s early World Cup exit should no longer be a cause for disappointment but that the lessons learned from defeats to Argentina and England can help launch the 2012 RBS Six Nations Championship with victory over the Auld Enemy."
