[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 933392, member: 74121"] This should be straightforward for France with their selection and Scotlands injuries. But seriously what was the last routine French win? They don't even put Italy away easily. Ntamack and Fickou is a combination that could potentially create loads of opportunities for Basteraud to squander. I can already picture myself howling at the telly in agitation. Grigg and Peter Horne are great Pro14 squad players, but I personally wouldn't put them near a national side if I had an alternative. The jury is out if Sam Johnson can make international standard, but he has looked okay so far so should get a run out rather than say, be dropped for Horne. A failure to select Hastings will speak volumes about a lack of confidence in him and give me questionmarks on his future. But I agree that a game against a strong pack probably isn't a great setup for a young flyhalf in a dip. I do think some of the Edinburgh backs like Johnstone, Graham and Deans should probably be getting a run in the squad to see if they make the grade - but I'll not be holding out any hope for that.
