Pretty much what we expected, I've heard good things about Rob Harley so hopefully he gets a decent run out in the 'friendlies' and the first two games

A little surprised that Greig Laidlaw is in there and Duncan Weir is not, but given that niether would make the normal 22, Laidlaw can cover both 9 & 10
A little dissapointed that Scott MacLeod wasn't selected because he is going to Japan, would have been a handy bench option

In Robinson we trust B)

this make some new faces to the ground and this will give chance to the youngsters to perform,and this is how the team become strong.
