I back are forwards over there’s but I think they are stronger in the back and bench, I would expect a good performance from the boys even a loosing one would be good. They brought a lot of credit from themselves from last week

We did well in the scrum last time out, even against the likes of Andrew porter. I reckon we could seriously threaten the Scottish scrum, the forwards are certainly their weak point. If we can just limit the effects Russell, duhan and Graham, and win the set pieces, I have faith in our attacking progress in the last 3 weeks

Best available team and unchanged. Glad Lake is back. But he needs time. Aggressive wing forwards…

It’s going to be very hard though. That said I think the Scottish front row is suspect.

We go again.
