This kind of thing is why I hate talk of World Cup cycles. Scotland are never going to win the WC and that’s fine, I can live with that. Be we could, maybe beat this AB team and instead we’re offering up this dreck. Sack Toonie for this alone

Sadly think you right, I was allowing myself to dream until I saw the two team sheets. Just not sure the tight 5, especially the subs, will be able to give enough platform

A proper rogues gallery that. Maybe it’s a good sign, world rugby saying “Hollie we know you can do well both alone and with good support. Let’s see how you manage Piardi and Tempo”

Okay it Is a slow build but that makes the payoff so good, like watching Scotland struggle all those years will make our World Cup all the sweeter. Episode 8 is an all time piece of tv

I do think the way SA use their subs is different, more forwards and bringing them on earlier. But fundamentally yeah, what actually matters is that SA produces masses of elite tight 5 forwards and others don't

He was so unlucky to miss the title winning season and he could have been forgotten with everyone else getting all the praise. He's done great to come back strong and add more to his game

I do really like Smith, felt like he risked being forgotten with his long injury but he brings something different both at 13 and 15

Both the starting pack and replacement forwards lock very strong, hopefully enough to give a good platform for the more raw backs

Harri Morris, who he? Apparently he plays for Edinburgh but I'm not sure I've ever seen him even with my season ticket. Otherwise looks pretty standard and decent
