[QUOTE="UilamOsa, post: 451310, member: 52898"] Samoa would happily except Scotland's resignation from the six nations. We would also like to accept - in advance - the invitation to the Six Nations. Also: NZ would like to volunteer coaches - Hammett, Foster, Kirwan, Jeff Wilson & Craig Dowd into whatever team you deem necessary. Kidding aside - it's a tragedy for world rugby that Scotland is the way it is. There's now (after only watching minimal celtic league & premiership) a real dearth of world class talent coming up from the Scots. I'm picking none of the Scots (from what I've seen) would make the AB's 30 squad or even a Lions tour if it were picked now. And they placed 10th in the IRB junior world cup. It's not a great place to build depth from. For the short term I would recommend scouting for scottish heritage players from overseas over risking the youth, throwing whatever funds they can at club development...but who knows? Scotland = Minnows? That would be a sad day indeed. [/QUOTE]
