Suspect the respective performances of Fife and Graham will mean it is more likely that Graham remains with Scotland if required.
Not sure if Dean was injured when he departed, but along with Graham he looked our best back so I have gone on the assumption he is fit.
15. Dougie Fife
14. Tom Brown/Jamie Farndale
13. James Johnstone
12. Chris Dean
11. Duhan van der Merwe
10. Jaco Van de Walt (if fit?)
9. Henry Pyrgos (maybe Kennedy)
1. Pierre Schoeman
2. Ross Ford
3. Simon Berghan (if not away with Scotland)
4. Jamie Hodgson *
5. Callum Hunter-Hill
6. Luke Hamilton
7. Mungo Mason
8. Bill Mata

And we don't play next week-though the point about player availability may hopefully apply for our next fixture on 25th November (the day after the Argentina fixture).

I get what Cockers is saying about blooding youngsters but there does need to be a mix. I needs the likes of HIckey and Socino to step up and lead as they will be available when others are away. All part of building a squad.
