Hopefully we'll see an improvement in the lineout with Toolis back involved.
Are Bennett and Ceccarelli the only ever-presents so far this season?

On Freesports according to their tv schedule, although it's not showing on my Sky planner yet

Im hoping that Hickey will flourish with Scott/Bennett, he has looked short of confidence in the past but vs Scarlets looked very assured. Would be good to se ehim get a run of games with a more open style and with decent quick ball to use.
Barclay should be like a caged bull desperate to prove the critics wrong, he has a poor couple of games but he isn't ready for the scrap heap yet.

Definitely true I don't think Barclay has it anymore but I last said that about Scott and Bennett so will hopefully be proved to know hee haw again.
I think all Scotland players apart from Graham and Ritchie have a lot to prove. Grant Gilchrist was a major disappointment for me, Berghan got so little gametime they have to be raring to go. Ritchie and Graham need to push on from a good campaign to become Scotland regulars. A lot to be excited about there.
I hope Hickey puts it all together too, I like VdM but he's not the man to get our backs flying.

I disagree about Barclay, there was a received wisdom that he has been poor since his injury, form my recollection he was excellent at the tail end of last year and won a few MOTM awards. I think we all underestimate what effect long term injuries have on players, we have seen it with Scott, Bennet, Weir and even Visser that it can take a long time even after neing "fit" before they really start firing.
I think his leadership will also be crucial for us this year. Given he is unlikely to be away with Scotland much, he can become the backbone of the team.
Agree about all of the others, very few of them will be feeling like they did themselves justice.
