[QUOTE="MLB3BB2, post: 749532, member: 70419"] I hope Scotland has been lulled into complacency by the Eagles' error-filled performance against Samoa; also hoping that all of those 2nd half tries against Japan have tired them out :) Haven't seen the Eagles' roster yet, but I hope Thiel and Dolan get starts... the former should improve the lineout (which was awful against Samoa) and the latter should help in multiple ways, including the lineout and ball carrying. But I think Dolan's too small to play lock against Scotland, so maybe at 6 or 8. The USA scrum is precarious enough that I'd like to see Manoa at lock -- we just need to get the ball out as soon as possible when we have the put-in so I don't think #8 will have much of a role in ball carrying from the scrum (as was the case vs Samoa); Manoa is massive and strong enough to solidify the tight 5 and make room for another good ball carrier in the back row, be it Dolan or Barrett.
