I hoped Cockers learnt last year that he needs to rotate the squad! Shiel, Sutherland/Bhatti, McCallum, Thomson need gametime. This is the type of match for academy guys too.
Disappointed.

We have changed 9 of the team from last week we changed 8 for the Bordeaux match, we are rotating.
The guys listed above are likley to be playing throughout the 6N so will get gametime.
We still have to win and probably get 4 tries to be sure of qualification. If we are there by HT fine make changes but we need to play a strong team make sure we have done the job.
The Scotland internationals will be getting a break after this and ahead of the 6N so use them now before we can't.

I find it infuriating that Shiel isn't getting enough game time, he is one of Scottish rugby's brightest prospects, this is the sort of game he should be involved in.
