00:00The losing field but that's rugby, every team has it and yeah, lost a couple of big ones
00:05but it's what it is, we've just got to focus on the boys that are coming in, it's just
00:09an amazing opportunity to represent Scotland or whoever it may be to come in.
00:14So yeah, just excited for Saturday now to be honest.
00:17How much, if at all, has Rome been referenced this week in terms of the threat that Italy
00:23pose and that's the only reminder you need to how good they can be?
00:27I think it is, yeah, it's definitely a reminder, it's definitely been referenced in and around
00:31the learning, I know probably you don't like me saying learning but ultimately it was an
00:36experience that we didn't like, weren't happy with but I think we've grown, we put a performance
00:42in the week after and ultimately we've had a good autumn and we know how good Italy are,
00:47there's a lot of consistency in Rome, the boys playing for Treviso, you see the guys
00:51as well, some big players playing in France, so we know and totally respect what Italy
00:55do, they're a really good outfit, well organised, well drilled so we know how we're going to
01:01have to put in a complete performance on Saturday.
