[QUOTE="Jashay, post: 935955, member: 78812"] If Scotland pull it off, it will be down to some excellent individual performances rather than being the better team. But they do have those players. Finn Russell has it in him to be unstoppable, and Ali Price is another X factor player. But the counterpoint would be that they both thrive on gaps in defense and broken fields, and have both been known to get a bit impatient when they don't seem to be getting anywhere. Wales' defense is very good at throttling attacks, so I could see the half backs losing their heads a bit. Team-wise, I'm not convinced by the Scotland midfield, but I also think Anscome and Parkes are liabilities so I guess it's a bit of a wash. Wales look stronger at the breakdown, but to be honest no-one has really been bossed there by anyone. If Wales play like they did against England, they'll probably win. If they play like they did against France and Italy, it's anyone's game [/QUOTE]
