[QUOTE="Saint4805, post: 833886, member: 72444"] I don't accept that. We don't have an issue scoring tries even with Laidlaw in the side as most of our tries are created by Russell and Hogg. Glasgow even with Price at 9 couldn't get through a stubborn Munster defence so what would be so different at international level? We'll still get penalties and Laidlaw will get points on the board and it's difficult to say if his absence (from a goal kicking perspective) would be more than compensated by a dynamic 9. Our main issue is that the top sides know the tactics are required to beat us and generally use their stronger forwards to suffocate ours and stop our backs getting ball. [/QUOTE]
