Scots Abroad VIII (or let's spot the new messiah) - The New Era

[BaldiePete]

Scottish squad players based outside Scotland are available for their teams this week since our match is outside the international window. In England it’s the Prem Cup so teams aren’t picking their strongest teams and none of the England based international players from the current squad are playing this week. Tomorrow we’ll see what the French teams do but they have a full card of Top 14 games so we may see some of our internationals playing there this weekend.

Gloucester
Mann - not selected (not available ) against Harlequins

Jack Mann is injured, again. He really has no luck and its worrying. For all Brabury did oj in the AIs and has been playing well, and we have a few good 9s at Edinburgh coming through I do believe Mann has a higher ceiling and is the most like for like with dempsey

Ritchie is captain against Clermont. He was also the captain against Newport (their only win this season). New management obviously trusting him

[Adder]

Just watched the USAP - Clermont game.
Richie had one of his best games in a long time.
3 steals, a funtioning lineout and a ton of tackles. He was suprisingly good at speaking with the French ref (in English I think).

That's good. Right now I'd start him at 7 for Scotland.
