[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 689038, member: 20605"] I think this match is going to be a lot closer that people think. While the selection of so many second-line players may not be meant as a disrespect for Scotland, you can be sure that Vern Cotter will be calling it disrespect to his team. He will be using it as a motivation. We did this once before on a NH tour, in 2005 when we played a completely different 15 against Wales and Ireland in consecutive weeks. We rattled up 41-3 and 45-7 victories in those two matches, but that Grand Slam team's second-line players were closer to their first-line counterparts than our current second-line are to our current first-line. Scotland has probably never had a better chance going into an All Blacks test of winning it. All Blacks by 7 or under [/QUOTE]
