Scotland 32-13, too much quality, Bennett, Denton and Hardie are great and Laidlaw will put he Yanks out off the match. They will sneak a BP try.
Sneak? We'll do it with panache, elan and flair. I'm not so sure Big Vern will make many changes. I'd quite like to see Swinson start. I don't think his size will be an issue, given his ability to get about the park. Horne's probably another good call, but with Finn on the bench in case of injuries or other mishaps. Welshy has to get a start sometime. Now's as good a time as any. I don't usually do this, but I'm at a loose end, so here's my favoured squad.
15. Maitland. Solid enough and has pace.
14. Seymour. I expect him to do a fair bit of damage.
13. Bennett. Too important to leave out.
12. Horne. Fits right into the game plan
11. Lamont. It's like having another flanker
10. Weir. Jinky, short and distinctly flaky. Should keep them (and us) guessing
9. Pyrgos(C) The brains of the outfit
1. Dickinson. Great technical scrummager and brings a lot of about-the-field talent to the party
2. Brown. Certainly worth a punt.
3. Welsh. Big bugger. Also hungry bugger.
4. Swinson. Coupled with Gray Jr., a very mobile lock partnership
5. Gray Jr. See above
6. Strauss. He has a fantastic beard
7. Hardie. Very hardie to leave out. (see what I did there?)
8. Wilson. Will feel he has something to prove after the other day.
16. McInally. Provides cover both at hooker and back row.
17. Nel. Ate all the pies
18. Reid. Similar in some ways to Dickinson, but eve quicker around the paddock. Thinks he's a winger. What could go wrong?
19. Gilchrist. Couldn't have two shockers, could he?
20. Denton. fresh pair of legs should anyone tire.
21. SHC. I can't imagine this squad can't do without Laidlaw for just one game.
22. Finn. Just in case...
23. Hoggy. See above...
