[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 935892, member: 74895"] I share your disappointment about Watson not starting. Can only assume he's not quite match fit and that Townsend sees him making an impact off the bench. Wales do tend to finish matches strongly and so impact replacements are key. Likewise with Berghan. Very surprised not to see Skinner in the 23 as it appeared as though he was set to start. I still see a similar outcome to the Sco v Ire game with Wales having too much in the forward area. Scotland used up a lot of gas in the first half and didn't convert pressure into points. They'll need to rectify that on Saturday and any hope of winning hinges on a big performance from Russell who will have a lot on his shoulders now that Laidlaw has thankfully been dropped. [/QUOTE]
