[QUOTE="Yoshimitsu, post: 967665, member: 71899"] Yeah that's going to be unpopular with our Scottish brethren. Gray may have 100% tackle completion (The argument used for Lions selection) but he's just not that good. Russell is great on his day but passing to Harris. Well that ends badly doesn't it? As for Hogg he's good at chatting and slapping people on the back but had approximately 0% impact on the game. I loved the 80 /early 90's Scotland. Abrasive reavers. Now it's "We're just about to show what we can do" then failure. Ireland destroyed them and they didn't seem to care. Japan played in a way that tier 1 teams struggle with and again Scotland couldn't find a way. As I said the Scotland of Finlay Calder, John Jeffery, David Sole seems a lifetime away. Now we have pretenders and chat. That doesn't get it done. Personally I hope for a Scottish revival. It's a great country with great people and a monumental rugby history. [/QUOTE]
