[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 398354, member: 24910"] Another really interesting preview - keep it up! Looks like Robinson is [URL="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/international/scotland/8502955/Phil-Godman-set-to-miss-out-when-Andy-Robinson-names-provisional-Rugby-World-Cup-squad.html"]set to name a 40-man preliminary squad[/URL] sometime today (or tomorrow, depending on where you live...), so we should get a better idea who exactly is in the selection frame. By the sounds of it Phil Godman may miss out on this squad, which would not surprise me, as they probably don't need three specialist first-fives in the squad, as Chris Paterson is more than capable of covering 10. I'm not a big follower of Scottish rugby (and don't watch much, if any, Northern Hemisphere club ruby) so don't really know the form of the players. However, I would have thought Jim Hamilton might be pretty close to the squad (perhaps at the expense of MacLeod?). In the backs I think Joe Ansbro might make it as a centre, and wouldn't be surprised to see one off their big wings, Nikki Walker or Simon Danielli, make the squad. [/QUOTE]
