[QUOTE="minidod, post: 368132, member: 46906"] I may be new to this site but I have been saying the samething for over the last year, Dan Parks has no right to be picked for the Scotland First Team, and until they stop putting him on the pitch Scotland will never improve in either the 6 nations or the RWC. You just have to look at the South Africa game the Scotland back line was flat and when Parks didn't kick the ball, (You would think it was a game of tennis) and remembered there was players outside him there was no ground gained because nobody was moving when the ball came to them. Parks came off the pitch and (if memory serves) Jackson came on and the whole game changed, the ball was put through hands and not into the air for the other team to collect and run back at us. The other big thing that needs to change is scrum half picking the ball from rucks and running across the pitch, when I played the prefered route was towards the posts. all this achives is the opposition closing the gap on our runners and again we gain no ground. The best thing the Scotland have is there forward pack is one of the best around at the moment. From watching Edinburgh and Glasgow both lineouts and scrums are top notch. [/QUOTE]
