Scotland’s 1990 Grand Slam-winning team have been forced to curtail their 30th anniversary reunion because of the coronavirus.

Murrayfield bosses were due to host a lunch on Tuesday for coaches Ian McGeechan, Jim Telfer and their players to mark the milestone of their Slam-sealing win over England.

But only the Hastings brothers Gavin and Scott plus Findlay Calder and Sean Lineen will now attend the shortened event after the government recommended limitations on social gatherings.

A celebration dinner in aid of the Hearts + Balls charity which planned to honour the 1990 triumph – the last time the Scots managed a championship clean sweep – on May 8 has also been postponed because of the pandemic.

But former centre Scott Hastings hopes he and his former team-mates will be able to reconvene once the threat has passed.

“It’s a pity we were all unable to get together to celebrate. There have been quite a few things planned. We have a big celebration dinner that was supposed to happen.

“There was also a few of us due to meet up today in the Scotland dressing room at Murrayfield, following an invitation from Scottish Rugby to have a get-together with McGeechan and Jim Telfer and a few of the players.

“Unfortunately because of the coronavirus only four of us are now meeting for a quick catch-up at lunch – myself, my brother Gavin, Findlay Calder and Sean Lineen.

“It’s a shame but we’ll raise a glass and hope to get something arranged for when this all passes over.”

Email: prowizardgilbertrecovery(@)  engineer.comWhatsApp: +1 (920) 408‑1234Telegram: https://t.me/Pro_Wizard_Gilbert_RecoveryI never imagined I’d become a victim of a scam—especially in the fast-moving world of cryptocurrency. When I was offered a chance to appear on a popular crypto podcast, I was excited. It seemed like a golden opportunity to gain exposure, connect with industry professionals, and build credibility within the crypto community. The podcast appeared legitimate, complete with a sleek website, professional branding, glowing testimonials, and an active social media presence.After a few exchanges with the supposed host, I was asked to pay $9,500 to secure my spot on the show. Trusting the apparent professionalism of the platform, I went ahead with the payment. I envisioned the new doors this would open—partnerships, recognition, and new opportunities. But everything changed once the payment was made.Suddenly, all communication stopped. My emails and messages went unanswered. The podcast’s website vanished, and so did their social media presence. That’s when reality hit—I had been scammed.I was devastated. Angry, embarrassed, and desperate to find a solution, I began searching for help. That’s when I discovered PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. At first, I was skeptical, but with nothing left to lose, I decided to reach out.To my surprise, their team responded quickly and took my case seriously. Using advanced investigative tools and digital tracking techniques, they began tracing the scammer’s digital footprint. I watched as they worked tirelessly, putting the pieces together.Amazingly, PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY was able to recover 95% of my lost funds. The relief I felt was indescribable. Not only did I get back most of what I lost, but I also walked away with a hard-earned lesson about the importance of due diligence and caution in the digital world.While I wish I had never fallen into the trap, I’m incredibly thankful for the support and professionalism of PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. They didn’t just recover my money—they helped restore my peace of mind. I’m sharing my story in hopes that it helps others avoid the same mistake and encourages them to stay vigilant in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency.
