Scotland have selected our two most exciting wingers who have very difficult styles of play. If we can get the ball to them (you don't need to get it to Van Der Merve he comes looking for it) they should both score. I rate Dupont highly and think the French centres and Dulin have a decent chance of getting the scoreboard ticking, so that left me with Ford at FH. Pack is still built around Gray and Itoje (honestly I think this could be the lions engine room) was the 'Mish on the flank replacing injured Ritchie. The rest were points based selections.
Went for Farrell on the bench because he's starting and will get a good points haul even named him SuperSub because I thought it was a sly move - then I read the rules but couldn't be bothered changing things again. the 2 Italian subs are points based selections.
Here's my selection.
