James Bond star Daniel Craig will be attending the Calcutta Cup rugby match between England and Scotland as a special guest of the Scottish Rugby Union tomorrow.

Before he made his name as an actor, Craig played for Hoylake Rugby Club.

Gates open at 2:15pm, with the Scotland team bus scheduled to arrive at Murrayfield at 3pm to a chorus of pipe bands.

At full-time, the Calcutta Cup will be presented by HRH The Princess Royal.

    I think that’s partly why he gets bad press, you have to dig deep to find out anything about him, he hardly ever says anything about his life outside of work.

    I respect that. If the man wants to have privacy, so be it. More power to him. I can relate to him because that is how I am too. Just because he is a 'celebrity' doesn't mean he can't have his privacy. He's just like all of us.

    I hope Craig is able to enjoy his day off tomorrow. He's half way through the filming soon and will no doubt enjoy the rest!

    Fairplay to Dan if he would like his privacy kept. I'm sure we all do! Sick of all these so called celebrities like the Scherzingers and Katie Price AKA Jordan, talking drivel and having camera's everywhere they go.....etc.

    Enjoy the game DC! Come on England! For Queen and Country Dan! ;)

    Good to see him relaxing on the weekends. The bloke must be knackered though.

    It may be more work at Pinewood instead. EON have years of practise of switching the schedule at last minute. They'll be doing something, you can bet on it!

    Only once was production shut down. That was on Die Another Day, for one week, as Brosnan injured his knee.
