[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1155683, member: 74121"] Scotland did better than NZ against France (three times this year) and SA (in their most recent SA matches). I just cannot see the NZ pack giving them much of a platform in this game. Despite a dream start against France the produced little. They could not even impose their will on Uruguay until after 20mins when fitness issues kicked in. The absence of Lowe, Earls and (in particular) Hansen would hobble Irish scoring potential considerably, possibly enough for things like a yellow card or an intercept try being enough to result in an upset. I have no idea if J'Ob or Stockdale can do a job on the wing but they have not had any game time to enable them to slot in seamlessly. I'm completely neutral on this match but hope we get to see the first choice XVs go head to head. [/QUOTE]
