Happy with in general, think Ford very lucky to regain place. Might have considered a few younger porspects for the bench, as Park has been off form and Blair needs a kick up the jacksey

What are your thoughts

Hi Risky, nice to see you here mate

As I said We have a decent chance of turning the Italians over if we can front up in the Scrum.

Italy have a very strong Back row but so do we, I would expect at least parity in the back row.

Jackson with another chance to shine, lets hope he and the rest of the boys deliver.

FRONT ROW- ITALY WIN
SECOND ROW - SCOTLAND WIN
BACK ROW- ITALY WIN (JUST)
HALF-BACKS - SCOTLAND WIN (JUST)
BACK 5 - CURRENTLY ITALY WIN(JUST)
