        @stargazer No Finn Russell and no Sean Maitland. Are Scotland only picking Scottish-based players?

          @sparky This test falls outside the World Rugby’s designated international window, so that may be the reason.

            I quite like Alex Dunbar's play when on form. He can be really good.

              I had to double check which team this was.

                  Considering our injuries and unavailability (outside the test window) that's a pretty handy team.

                  Will be interesting to see if Lydiate is still relevant. And effective.

                  Great to see Anscombe getting a chance at 10.

                  Even better to see Jarrod Evans on the bench to complement / take over from an ineffective Anscombe.

                  We should have too much for Scotland, but when it comes to the Autumn we're notoriously slow starters.

                  Hopefully us by 9-13 with plenty of tries.

                    That's a strong Wales team. 10 will be the interesting one to watch. I've never been too sold on Anscombe and Evans I don't know anything of. Is Patchell injured?

                      @catogrande Patchell is in the squad for the November tests, so I assume he's not injured.

                        Stood down to recover from concussion.

                        Will feature in subsequent tests, as will Biggar.

                        Evans has been the Blues 10 the past two seasons usurping Shingler and forcing Anscombe to 15.

                        Beautifully balanced runner with ball in two hands, deceptively quick. Time on the ball.

                        Reminds me of Iestyn Harris at his best in League.

                          Naaa the Scots are doing this one for Doddie Weir. No chance. Scotland by 20.

                          I think it was about this time last year I got kicked out of a Scottish Rugby Facebook group ( again ) for having a laugh at the name Fagerson ( FAGerson). An admin messaged me saying they had close to 50 complaints about my juvenile and homophobic behaviour.

                          Retorting and calling him a snowflake with no sense of humour did nothing to help my cause unfortunately.

                                There is an horrific story about a photographer being kicked off the Torbay facebook page on the absolute crap thread. I warn you that it is quite disturbing.

                                    Great to see Anscombe getting a chance at 10.

                                    Even better to see Jarrod Evans on the bench to complement / take over from an ineffective Anscombe.

                                    We should have too much for Scotland, but when it comes to the Autumn we're notoriously slow starters.

                                    Hopefully us by 9-13 with plenty of tries.

                                    Naaa the Scots are doing this one for Doddie Weir. No chance. Scotland by 20.

                                    I think it was about this time last year I got kicked out of a Scottish Rugby Facebook group ( again ) for having a laugh at the name Fagerson ( FAGerson). An admin messaged me saying they had close to 50 complaints about my juvenile and homophobic behaviour.

                                    Retorting and calling him a snowflake with no sense of humour did nothing to help my cause unfortunately.

                                    you don't take unprofessional photos of sunrises by any chance do you?

                                    There's a joke here which I'm clearly not getting......

                                    There is an horrific story about a photographer being kicked off the Torbay facebook page on the absolute crap thread. I warn you that it is quite disturbing.

                                    Righto. Will check

                                    I warned you - It is not for the faint hearted.

                                        @machpants The link works, and yes. Terrible stuff. Hard to get over.

                                        I should probably get this back on track before a ban gets mentioned.

                                        So Anscombe - "I think he's the greatest, but my dad says he don't work hard enough on defense." Flying high week reference.

                                                    That is great news. Always one of my favourite players and was genuinely good in some of those shit teams of the 1990s. Awesome seeing him interviewed after the 95 quarter final where he scored two tries against the ABs. You could tell he was thrilled. Apparently he is a bit of a legend on the aftermatch speaking circuit too. Anyone who can rock suits like this is a legend in my eyes. Hope the big fella is doing ok.
