I quite agree, Highlander. A great player and natural leader. A loss to the Springboks, but an opportunity for some very good 12s to step into his playing shoes. I doubt his loss to the team will weaken it's chances to go all the way, unfortunately!

But aren't Scotland looking good? Accurate, patient, not clumsy, and playing wide rugby right up there with the best. Could be the surprise of the tournament!

Woe is the England team! Such naivety. I don't mind the option to go for a line out but be aware that the opposition will try to maul you back into touch! Robshaw........the weak link!
