Further gloom in the scrum half department as McMillan has picked up a training injury too, although he is expected to recover and Lawson may not be as bad as first feared.

Interesting to see NZ have picked Carter and Smith in the centre for the warm up against Oz. Looking at their squad backs, even if they look to blood younger inexperienced players, which they may well do vs. Scotland - they will still pose a big threat. Which makes me want to pee my pants a little seeing as I have a ticket.
