Worst case for Scotland is that we get players back for mid-October but they won't be available for a week or so after that - that means our entire pack plus back ups for the front and back row will likely be away.

How many of the back rows will be away for the RWC or Scotland squad?
Not many,

The way Hamilton is going, I would not be surprised if he makes it (especially if there are a few inevitable injuries nearer the time). I think he is having a fantastic season and we would have been screwed if he hadn't joined us late on.
