FOR all its complications and a book of laws you’d need a degree in philosophy to understand, rugby union is at heart a simple game. Pick the right players in the correct positions, mould them together as an outfit, practise forever, and then go out and play with courage and creativity. For much of the game against Argentina on Saturday, Scotland just did not do these basic things.
Last week I wrote that I thought Argentina would win the First Test, so perhaps I am going to surprise you by saying that I think Scotland can and will win the Second Test.
