So what odds Scots taking out View next week, at home off the back of wins against New and Joeys. I bet zip. But zip was the prediction if tip comp tips are tallied for last 2 weeks. Possible yes. Probable no. But impossible. No way. Close score at HH today but Scots should have won by a lot more IMO
I think it's eminently possible.
Scots have a solid base.
Potentially the best pack in the competition.
Stable at the set piece with 4 or 5 highly mobile individuals with tremendous work rates.
Their backline defence is good and has been getting better.
They have improved in each successive round so far.
What continues to let them down is their kicking.
Tactically weak and often an ill advised gift of possession back to the opposition.
When they hold on to the ball they wear oppositions down.
An old coach of mine used to rollout a statistic that the team with 60% of possession wins 90% of games. No idea if it's true but I wouldn't be surprised.
If Scots hold on to the ball and run everything they will win next week.
If they kick too often and provide ball in broken play to the talented Riverview backs.....they will lose.
I believe it's entirely in their hands (or not)......
