[2014 Mid-Year Test] U.S.A. vs. Scotland 07/06/14

[LittleGuy]

U.S.A. vs. Scotland. 07/06/14 7:00 p.m. CDT (8:00 p.m. EDT, 5:00 p.m. PDT), BBVA Compass Stadium, Houston, Texas, United States of America

Referee: Pascal Gauzere (France)

Broadcast: (I'm guessing Universal my American friends?) Scotland: Daily Record Website stream

The Eagles play host to Scotland in what should be an exciting encounter in front of a large crowd in Houston. Scotland will be touring the big three in the America's and will be looking to get that campaign off to a good start, while the Eagles will be trying to earn that scalp they've been looking for, they've had some tremendous performaces against heavily favoured teams at home lately but have fallen just short at the end.

It seems the Eagles have had much better End of Year tours in the last few years than these mid year games, but I really get the feeling in my bones that they are going to pull off one of these games sometime soon. Certainly this looks to be a hard physical battle as the two defences are fairly good.

[Big Ewis]

Vern Cotter's first game. Hopefully he'll be too fresh off the choking, and will feel like really playing this one.

 

[iINDOMINUSxx]

i wonder what type off squad he play's for these tours. i hope he has the sense which scott johnston wait what am i saying off course he will he is like 10x better than what SJ could do. but surely Ross Ford is dropped and Greig Laidlaw moves to 10

 

[dudeabides]

Can't wait, have a ticket and have never seen them play the Scottish at 15's before.

 

[iINDOMINUSxx]

Wow, I'm guessing there isn't a lot of interest in this game in Scotland if t's only being streamed on a news website, though it would air at about 1 a.m. your time.

well to be honest rugby is slowly dying in scotland but glasgow going into the final i hope will motivate us. and i think so not 100% sure

 

[iINDOMINUSxx]

but to be fair the daily record i believe is popular world wide

 

[iINDOMINUSxx]

the scotland squad for the usa and i not going to lie i like the look off this, my only problem with the squad is that laidlaw is captain and 9 but we have who i think would make a great replacement grayson hart but if laidlaw goes off who'll be captain ?

Eagles lineup has also been named and added to the start of the thread.

 

[rusty_lock]

Surprised to not see Shawn Pittman

 

[Darwin]

Grayson Hart.... I assume he must have a Scottish grandparent, as he I don't imagine he has been in Scotland long enough to qualify via residency.....

the k.o in uk time is 1:30 i think but there's no need to stay up late for it

Grayson Hart.... I assume he must have a Scottish grandparent, as he I don't imagine he has been in Scotland long enough to qualify via residency.....

according to wikipedia his grandparents are indeed scottish
