[QUOTE="unrated, post: 1061403, member: 45773"] From reading media reports all week both local and international. It seems the Scots are very confident at securing victory. Maybe this explains the Scottish silence on this thread, maybe silent confidence. The Scots even dropped Hamish Watson for this game even though he got MotM last week and he is not overworked or anything. I think Townsend and the rest of the Scottish players think that if they play the style they wanted to play on the Lions tour then they will win the game against a Springbok side they think they know how to beat. Finn Russell and to a slightly lesser extent Stuart Hogg is outspoken about this belief of attacking/ expansive rugby would be a better strategy against the Boks. Am I far off with my judgement of the Scottish camp and their perceived beliefs. Maybe the Scots are trying to play a strong bench to counter a Bok bench arguably stronger than the starters? [/QUOTE]
