Les Écossais se sont imposés 25-13 lors de leur premier match de préparation en vue de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby contre les Azzurri et les deux joueurs du XV de départ conservés pour affronter les Français lors du deuxième match au Scottish Gas Murrayfield sont l’ailier Darcy Graham, auteur de deux essais, et l’arrière Matt Fagerson, qui passe du poste de numéro 8 à celui de troisième-ligne côté fermé à cette occasion.

Finn Russell est nommé capitaine, le demi d’ouverture étant associé à Ben White à la charnière. Sione Tuipulotu est choisi comme vice-capitaine et relance son association au centre avec Huw Jones. Dans le pack, Fagerson est aligné au côté de Hamish Watson et Jack Dempsey en troisième-ligne.

Richie Gray et Grant Gilchrist, un autre vice-capitaine, sont associés en deuxième-ligne, tandis que la première ligne sera composée d’Ewan Ashman, de Pierre Schoeman et de Zander Fagerson.

Rory Darge, qui a mené l’Écosse à la victoire en Italie, est l’un des cinq avants appelés à faire partie des remplaçants. Dave Cherry, Jamie Bhatti, WP Nel et Scott Cummings sont les autres options du pack, tandis que les arrières George Horne, Cameron Redpath et Ollie Smith complètent la liste des 23 joueurs du jour.

Half-back depth is the flaw in 'Razor's' 4-4-4 Rugby World Cup plan

Well there’s a couple of distinctions here that are important aren’t there?


First though like I replied to Tk where does it say theres need to test vets, or proven reliable players? It is simply ‘test quality’.


Now, I have created a list that I think is test quality, so all weve got to do is upskill the missing pieces right? No. Razor might not mean to have given every player half a dozen matchs but he will want to have identified and assured himself that each individual is indeed test quality. So yes, plays like Darry and Lord may still be included in a few squads and used so he’s happy to include them as say 5th and 6th ranked locks, but that doesn’t mean he needs to go to the same level to ensure for himself the 7th and 8th ranked locks.


He might be happy basing performances off SR Finals, or organizing an AB XV match against a team like France or SA with similar locking depth (even organizing say Warner Dearns to be part of the Japan XV etc), and I’m sure they’re going to have a very large squad over in South Africa for two months.


I don’t think he is quite in the same predicament as SA to have to rest top stars. And this is obviously just goal setting, they’re supposed to be hard. As you can see by the context around this series, arbitrary targets like everyone getting some minutes are made. That could also simply be how he ensures he has met the 4. So hookers would be ticked, as he’s already used 5 at test level. If you looked at the Baabaas SA game you’d see Beehre performing like an accomplished test player, that already makes 7 locks with more than 2 full seasons to go. You take the point BA was making about Marshalls previous remarks about Razor want players to be able to play 3/4/5 different positions, that would mean if Razor was really happy with Finau at lock last week he already has 8 test quality locks as well, etc, etc.


TLDR sorry for the big reply, it’s just a goal, the teams not going to suddenly fail if he doesn’t reach it, I think theres many means and many players for him to be comfortable in getting 4 in each position. He’s obviously not going to be able to get 4 proven, hardened test players in each by then, no.
