Or maybe in the backs ?

With the upcoming Scotland v. Ireland game, after having a look at the muscle in our squad, we decided to have a look at who could provide the bit of magic for Scotland to get us some points on the board.

Gareth Moore
Wakefield  Trinity
3 caps

Moore is a great young prospect at half back. Having came through the Leeds Rhinos academy, he found himself at Batley where he established himself as a great young talent, a Northern Rail cup winner and an effective kicker. Many times it has been Moores boot that has been the difference between winning and loosing games, and this ability could be called upon at Scotstoun if given the chance

Brett Carter
Workington Town
1 cap

Young town full back Carter is certainly more than capable of slotting into the attacking line, picking up an impressive 7 tries in Championship one in Workingtons latest campaign which saw his impressive performances help Workington get to an unfortunately unsuccessful playoff final. Hopefully Carter can bring his turn of pace back over the border for the France game.

Dave Arnot
London Skolars
2 caps

Arnot is another Scottish player to rack up 7 tries this season on the wing, second on the try scoring list for Skolars to the prolific Adebisi. The hard working Fife lad who has already scored 2 tries and picked up the man of the match in a Scotland A game last year will hopefully have his try scoring boots on as he looks to add to his Scotland tally and establish himself as a regular

Callum Cockburn
Edinburgh Eagles
Uncapped

Cockburn picked up an impressive 7 tries in 8 games last season, which has led to the Eagles player hoping to pick up his first cap during the autumn tests, and stands every chance in a squad full of home grown talent. Given the chance Cockburn is sure to make an impact on the game and the inspiration of playing in front of a packed home crowd could be enough motivation to get a performance.

Could it be won in the Pack ?

With the Autumn international matches coming up, we thought we would take a look at some of the Scotland squad's key players. Below we have listed four of our team, who we think will be very influential in leading Scotland to victory in the upcoming games.

Andrew Henderson
Caps- 16
Club- Sheffield Eagles

Seasoned Pro Henderson has clocked up well over 200 hundred club games in his career and brings heaps of experience, having played at the highest level in super league. Even if playing time is limited, Henderson’s experience back room influence could be vital.

Jack Howieson
Caps- 9
Club- Sheffield Eagles

Sheffield Stalwart and club captain is another player with heaps of experience playing high level rugby league. Recently involved in Sheffield’s shock win against Leigh Centurions, hopefully the no nonsense Prop can take his end of season form into the Autumn internationals, and provide some big hit ups and surging runs in the middle of the park, and help drive Scotland forward.

Paul Jackson
Caps- 4
Club- Castleford

Another influential member of the Scotland pack. Jackson has racked up over 20 appearances in Super League this season, and having spent virtually his whole career at the top, means Jackson will be used to facing world class opposition, meaning his big match experience should help steady the squad and inspire some of the players just entering the Scotland national team

Daryl Clark
Caps- Uncapped
Club- Castleford

Youngster Daryl Clark is one of the most exciting prospects named on the squad list. At the age of only 18 the young hooker has already picked up the clubs under 20’s player of the year award and earned comparisons to James Roby in terms of his killer instinct. With 7 tries in 18 appearances for the Tigers, this youngster certainly knows his way to the try line, and that Hunger could see him score his first of many tries for Scotland.
