Things you may not know about the Scotland side: (you may as well be aware, but I don't think I've seen them mentioned)
Hogg runs fast. And scores tries. More likely to run around a player than trough him. Good kicking as well. He's 19 and is likely to stick around the Scot setup for a while.
Gray is a likely Lions starter. The first Scot in a while to be one of the first in the side when speculating about it a year in advance.
Ford can be a nighmare in the breakdown. He's, IMO the best hooker in the british isles.
The Scottish lineout is exceptional. Their scrum is decent when Murray is on (which is anytime bar sundays).
If we're doing predictions I'm going Scotland by 2!
Yes, I think they have the pack to beat us, not sure we'll be scoring too many tries in the conditions and with the players first outing. They're up for it.

From Diggers in today's SMH:
''I'll be on the left wing and Joe will be on the right,'' he said. ''I play both wings, but I gave him the first choice anyway … I think back to the days … well, I won't name names, but this bloke in the team said no go to playing on the other wing. So I'm doing it in reverse. I'm a good bloke.''
So I'm thinking that the wings back in the 'early days' when Diggers hit the scene - say around 2006, would have been, Gerrard, Tuiquiri, Rathbone, Shepherd and Staniforth. Surely he'd be talking about the Dark Shark, right?
I was also trying to work out who this would have been as well. For the Wallabies- Digby played against Wales (Brisbane, 2007) on debut, where he scored a try. How can we find a team list for that game?
