I think Scotland will come back down to earth here. Big time.
And BMM i dont think we are that big talk awy from home. We seem to have learned our lesson. And even though we lost to France on the eoyt we let them win that game not the other way around.

“but the big name teams (SANZAR) are big name teams because they perform on the day and follow up on what they â€œverballyâ€ have promised to do.”

Like the Boks beat Ireland a couple of years back and Eng at Twickers to “narrowly” miss the Grand Slam they were verbally talking about. And then losing out to France in the first test at home and the only test away from home last year!!

Away from home we are Big Talk no Stalk if ever there was a team!

Any team can “verbally” claim to beat any of the big name teams, but the big name teams (SANZAR) are big name teams because they perform on the day and follow up on what they “verbally” have promised to do. A 13-10 win Italy is not so convincing is it Scotland, just play the game and don’t become a toss pot like your foes from south of Hadrians Wall.

We shouldn’t underestimate these Mackies for the 2 tests although I think they still need a year or two to mature. There were good signs from them this season but they are still on a learning curve.

No ways will they beat teams like the Boks, Wobblies and the All Blacks. The Scots have an ok etam but they will never have the class to penetrate defenses, or have a scrum capable of stuffing over other teams.
