[QUOTE="Peter Ross, post: 953763, member: 80988"] I'd give J Bhatti another chance, on the bench this time, because he's usually much better than he was in Paris, but the weaknesses displayed by J Strauss, A Hastings and B McGuigan were all too typical of their usual play, so they should be out of the game and out of the RWC squad. M Fagerson, B Thomson, G Stewart, S Johnson and R Hutchinson should all play, because they need more experience against Tier One opposition. If we want to win the game, we'll also need F Russell, S Hogg, S Maitland, H Watson and D Taylor. But do we want to risk injuries to them? The big problem is that G Townsend seems to prefer an exciting team to a winning team. I'd suggest R Gray and H Pyrgos to start, with D Weir on the bench, but they'd have to be allowed into the extended RWC squad first. [/QUOTE]
