We have said for years that scotland are on the way, but they never get there, always lacking somehitng.
They have a speedy back three, but the middfield is lacking, fly half is a problem. Their tight five will have to play a lot better or italy will destroy them as England did. Without the ball the backs coa’ do anything.
