Scotland possess some world class performers with the likes of Chris Cusiter and Simon Taylor always talked of as international class.

These two have both travelled overseas to play their rugby in France and it'll be interesting to see how they adapt and how the national side benefits.

Coach Frank Hadden has a number of emerging players competing for the jersey in a number of positions and over the course of the next few months, some wil come to the front of the queue and stake their claim for the RBS 6 Nations in 2008.
