Vern Cotter now as coach of Scotland coupled with Glasgow warriors impressive start to the season which included the drubbing on Bath the other day gives me renewed hope although the small pool of players to choose from is still always going to be a major handicap.
Anyway moving on if Scotland progress to the quarters by coming second they will then play the winners of group A either Wales, England or Australia and if they have had good 6 nations and can keep progressing then at the minimum should be able to give any of those 3 sides a good game and before you know it Scotland are in the semi finals where they will probably meet France who will fail to turn up leading to a Scotland - NZ final in which NZ will choke leaving Scotland as RU WC2015 winners.
I think i read my tea leaves right.
