My new 'best' Spring tour 15.

1. Slipper 2. Fainga'a 3. Tupou
4. Arnold 5. Skelton
6. Swinton 8. Valetini 7. Hoops
9. White 10. JOC (James O'Connor) 11. Daugunu 12.Paisami 13. Ikitau 14. Petaia 15. Kellaway
16. Latu 17. Bell 18. Ala'alatoa 19. Rodda 20. Samu 21. Mcdermott 22. Lolesio 23. Beale

Kinda tough actually

I feel if you start Rodda & Arnold then you need leota not swinton.
Kellaway did his best work on the wing so maybe him there and Beale 15 with Daugunu or Petaia on bench

How come?
Go forward v lineout as their point of difference over each other.

Rennie picked Leota over swinton because he wanted the go forward. But if Skelton starts then you need the lineout more then the go forward for your no.6

I'll say I dont expect Beale to get a gig Fullback will be covered by Petaia or JOC (James O'Connor) if Kellaway gets injured.

I also expect we will win, maybe not easily but by a comfortable margin

I don’t believe any of the European based players will be picked for Scotland. so no Latu or Arnold
I dunno I don't think they have the time to fuck around with them.. they knew they were joining gave them bunch of home work, so will get them off the bench first game and starting second..

Could be wrong but that's my thoughts..

I’m a bit nervous about this. I know Kerevi & Cooper were ring ins but I think the loss of Koroibete was papered over by Japan's weak defence and we haven't realised how much we'll miss him.

Would love to see Daugunu back in the 23, he's been looking fit at training.
