Dear Luke don’t blush, we are flattered that you as other Scots are taking our cause, perhaps the never-ending rivalry with England has something to do with it? Many years ago, when I we were just kids our parents took us to Saint Andrew’s and we visit the town were one of my ancestors was born in the Highlands. I love Scotland and I find you a very sincere, straightforward, simple and nice people. Do you know my good new friend that the first rugby team was organized in Argentine by five Scots, Mr Sean Drysdale, James Robertson, Charles Dougall, Alexander Mac Alistair and Robert Chantrill Bell. My great grandfather Thomas Bruce Leighton was one who started playing for Saint Andrew’s Scots School, this was the first rugby team in Argentina, the second was organized by the Irish who arrived as a consequence of the potato famine or religious persecutions in Ireland (Home Rule times). Indeed were the Scots who taught us rugby. Four generations of my family from my mother side played this wonderful game, which is the best to prepare kids for facing life, giving them sense of working in a teem and a good friendship for ever. I am delighted to read your answers, yours Elisabeth Sophia Alexandra v. W.z. H.
