[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 840337, member: 72205"] Well before this tournament I was quite disparaging of them they've had so many false dawns and preformed poorly in the tournament that I'd given up hope of them coming back. However I said a 3rd place finish (with 3 wins) should be the least they aim for and they should do that as I can't imagine them loosing to Italy and should get the BP win. There is a scenario where they'd end up 4th with 3 wins (relies on Wales or France winning both games and getting a BP) but fair do's to them. Lets remember regardless of what happens against England though, this if the first time they've competed for the Triple Crown since 1996 (they've managed to get two victories against home nation sides a few times since but they'd either drawn or lost a game before their 2nd win). That's a pretty big achievement and its been a long time since they've been in the hunt for the actual championship in week 4. Some people suggested the tournament would better a 4nations with promotion/relegation but I think Scotland have at least proved this season they still deserve a seat at the big boy table. The problem is the 6th nation. [/QUOTE]
