Andy Craig is back in the Scotland XV

Glasgow's Andy Craig makes a return to international duty after being named in the Scotland team to face France at the Stade de France, Paris in the RBS 6 Nations Championship on Saturday 5 February.

He returns for the first time since Scotland's 2003 World Cup pool defeat by France.

Nothing to lose so why not just go for it? The side looks to be an attacking one so why not try and get our toughest test out the way and rack up a few confidence boosting tries?

C'mon SCOTLAND!

Could someone give me his opinion about Andy Henderson.

I thought, he was in good form when he played against the Ospreys...
Is he to slow?
He was battling a lot in defence at last 6nations.

Where is the expensive rugby league player from Australia, still training to play rugby union?

Maybe injured?
SRU is quite discret about the news of their last acquisition

yeah, I can give you my comment. Should be in there instead of Southall. Has been playing well for Glasgow and warrants a place for Scotland!

Who is Jon Dunbar? Has Southwell ever played 12 before???

I know little about Jon Dunbar, aprt from the fact that he was born in Germany and plays for Leeds Tykes. As for Southwell at inside Centre, well he's never started the game in that position before, apparanytly he's had "practice" at training and I beleive been used sparingly at Inside Centre from the bench by Edinburgh. At least the partnership between him and Andy Craig will be something a little different.
