[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 928778, member: 74121"] I'm a bit worried by where Townsend was going with his centres in November and I'm confused why Dunbar is slipping down the pecking order. They really underperformed in the EOYT from my perspectives. The squad is so thin that losing a starter like Hamish Watson or Dunbar is probably grounds for thinking they can't beat the other top four sides away from home. Plus, England should improve with them having bolstered their coaching team last summer (I think). Wales will be dangerous without Halfpenny and an apparent slightly greater willingness to gamble and Ireland are as consistent as they come these days. I always think even bad French sides are a terrible matchup for Scotland due to their physicality. So yeah, I see only Wales at home as a possible win for Scotland (outside of Italy) and even that is conditional on peak side selection from Scotland and Wales ignoring players like Patchell and having a few injuries.
