[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 893225, member: 74121"] I like the influence the bonus points seem to be having on play style, but I've stared at the 6N table for a good five minutes there and my brain just melted. Basically, due to messing up against England and not getting a BP, Scotland need to score a winning BP here to stand any realistic of claiming the ***le. That isnae going to happen but if Townsend has any brains he has to factor that into the gameplan - which might blow up in his face and hand Ireland some opportunities on the counter attack. I've had enough of Scotland patting themselves on the back the last two years while losing a tournament so it's time for them to keep their eyes on the prize while they have this possibly brief window of having a competitive side. Both teams should run in four soft tries each early on then play winner takes all. :p More likely is both teams engage in a bit of blood and thunder and miss out on the winning BP and leave the door wide open for England. I think Scotland's away record is overstated. They pumped Oz in their back yard and performed well in a World QF away from home. But I'll reserve calling the upset until I see the teams. [/QUOTE]
