[QUOTE="Saint4805, post: 754480, member: 72444"] I think Cotter's team selection confirmed he was thinking about the overall campaign bearing in mind the 'set objective' of reaching the QFs. Expect Scotland to be at full strength (with some tactical tweaks) from now on given that we're effectively into knockout territory. Vernon's inclusion was tactical because of his size but the likes of Bennett, Maitland, Dickinson & Ford were probably rested (unless some were injured) plus you have Russell and Hardie (if fit) who you'd expect to start. I don't think Russell would have made much difference yesterdy given the boks forward dominance. It'll be interesting to see if Cotter starts the first choice front row against Samoa or whether he mixes it up given the impact of Nel against the USA Let's hope Wales go all out against the Aussies in an attempt to avoid getting SA. Have a feeling the Aussies will have beaten England, Wales then Scotland before marching into the semis. [/QUOTE]
