. And here are some of the biggest names in rugby who agree with us., who went to three world cups with Scotland, says: "I know we could probably beat anybody in the world on our day. In the previous World Cups we all thought we were better than what we are, but this team's very established.
"They're not scared of playing Ireland or South Africa. But Scotland can go into this knowing that if they can compete with them, they've got as good a back division as any other team in the world.""For us to be in a position whereby we're fifth in the world is truly remarkable. It's big right hook for Scottish rugby to be able to punch well above its weight.
“For me, Scotland should be very optimistic going into this Rugby World Cup. With the current belief that Townsend has instilled in them, to their ambitious mindset to attack from anywhere, I genuinely believe they can beat any team in the world on their day!”wasn't blowing the horn quite as loudly. But he reckons FInn Russell and Ben white could be the key to a major splash, even despite the nightmare pool the Scots have ended up in.
