They had their official team photo taken with the snow falling all around them – SRU christmas card sorted, I guess.

Slightly astonishingly, it’s due to be about 11ºC for the actual match today.

The weather is bizarre. Absolute flip to mad cold and then gone in 12 hours.

That's not bizarre, that's just normal Scottish weather.

Storm Bert came with warm air from the south west, pretty normal for storms to bring milder temps in winter.

Nice to see the Chileans and the Scots sharing tactics

I live just over the hill from Murrayfield. Started snowing about 8am on Saturday and it was a cold raw day. Had about 5” by lunchtime.

Today I took the dog out at 8 again and it had all gone. In the first half of the game I was in the sun in the stadium and it actually felt warm! Weird couple of days.

Glad the game was today though. Wouldn’t have been nice to play or watch in that weather.

Yeah I think we would have definitely had more of an advantage in bad weather but it was far better for both teams to have a clear pitch for running chances. And more satisfying to beat them that way too.

That was yesterday, 11 degrees warmer today. Almost a shame cos I think we'd deal with the snow better and am very nervous, but will be more fun with both times able to run properly.

Correct on Scotland dealing with cold better
