Scotland coaches’ habit of dumping flankers is odd.

How can you choose Glasgow’s 4th choice lock last season (Al Kellock, Leone Nakarawa and Jonny Gray all better) and a man far past his best playing his rugby in the second tier over the two best flankers in Scottish rugby. It makes no sense. However I trust Vern to make the choices he feels are the best and I am confident Scotland will perform at this World Cup.

Quarters after squeaking past an out-of-sorts Samoa seems a fair call.
