Info

This post-match dinner menu is from the dinner given by the Scottish Rugby Union to the Scots and Welsh teams after the international rugby match played at Inverleith. The result had been a resounding 35 - 10 win for Scotland, their highest ever winning margin against Wales and a record that stood until 2023 (35 - 7 at Murrayfield). The two teams have signed the menu card, as have several officials. The card belonged to Swansea forward Ivor Morris who was winning his second and final cap for Wales, having made his debut against England in January 1924.
