There’s drama aplenty on the cover of Rugby World in May 1965, featuring Stewart Wilson of Oxford University and London Scottish, appointed Scotland’s captain for the Calcutta Cup match against England in that season’s Five Nations.

 

Wales had already clinched the Grand Slam, seeing off all comers by beating Scotland and France at the Arms Park and the St Helens ground in Swansea respectively, as well as coming away triumphant from Twickenham and Lansdowne Road.
