Les Écossais ont résisté au retour des Gallois en seconde période pour s’imposer 27-26, mais l’équipe qui affrontera les Français à Murrayfield compte désormais trois changements dans le pack.

Deux étaient déjà prévus depuis samedi dernier, car les blessures au biceps et à l’épaule du deuxième-ligne Richie Gray et du côté fermé Luke Crosbie contre le Pays de Galles les ont mis forfait pour le reste du Tournoi.

La place de Gray dans la cage est comblée par le retour de Grant Gilchrist après sa suspension, tandis que la place laissée vacante par Crosbie a permis à Matt Fagerson de passer de numéro 8 à numéro 6 et à Jack Dempsey d’être ainsi promu du banc du Principality Stadium pour débuter au poste de numéro 8.

Le troisième changement apporté à l’équipe d’Écosse concerne également la troisième-ligne. Le co-capitaine Rory Darge s’est finalement remis en forme après ses récents problèmes de genou et a pris la place sur le côté ouvert de Jamie Ritchie, qui ne figure pas dans la liste des 23 pour le match.

Le reste de la sélection de départ de Townsend est identique à celle du Pays de Galles, et la seule modification apportée à son banc est l’entrée d’Andy Christie, consécutive à la titularisation de Dempsey.

How can Scott Robertson revive the All Blacks’ playmaking ‘triple threat’?

Love how you stoke up the fire with these slow burners Nick, great time to let the air into this one too coming into Jordies new home for a few months.


Razor (and possibly Cullen?) is the perfect coach to keep fueling Jordies own flame. Foster on the other hand has to be a people person because he's always trying to douse everyones due to his own lack of enterprise.


I didn't want to nark on the man but we still have Reiks waiting to be ignited as well. His own play when he first moved to center was full of threat and tact. He could cut in just as easily as swing out and had some great ball handling to put people away with. While we haven't seen much more of that since, I think he has at least been working hard on his defence and his books under Foster and Schmidt, and could turn into a Conrad (or even Nonu) one day. I'm not quite so sure Jordie has been making the same progress in the meantime.


I've been really happy with Jordies workons this year however, but that Final was a big learning curve and I've not really sure I've seen the calmness required to pull off Nonu type plays through his career so far. In fact he has often been the opposite and been a bit ropey when he was in more of a playmaker role at 15, I do think he has all the skills and desire to make these sorts of plays though, just having such a wide scope as a 'triple' threat put's a big demand on being able to read the game. So perhaps I might not go too much further than trying to use that big boot, and keeping it simple really. Like Nonu did.


I'm happy with all those 10 and 15 pictures myself, especially the ones where Jordan is playing more of a hand. He is someone who certainly could do with some sort of 'double' threat to help his line breaking ability and I certainly think he has some sort of innate skill to do the right thing. Sadly it's not going to happen in conjunction with Beaudie I don't think. This is going to be retirement. 2nd start back playing with his old courage (he actually did run the ball after all) and he's concussed again, not good.


Trouble is for this team, it could be a completely different 10, 12, 13. That shouldn't stop Razor from encouraging all the options the All Blacks have in those positions, right now. Also looking forward to Perofeta coming into fullback late instead of BB or Dmac going there.
