Hooker Ross Ford, 32, is likely to be the oldest in a youthful Scotland side that has already shocked Ireland and Wales this tournament. Yet the Scots, who have climbed to their highest world ranking of fifth, do not seem burdened by the weight of history. "One of the big incentives is to stop their run," centre Huw Jones, a 23-year old set to win his seventh Scotland cap, told the BBC. "Scotland have shown this season that they are a really good opportunistic rugby side," former England coach Brian Ashton told The Scotsman. Throw caution to the wind and Scotland could just sneak the victory they need to stay on track for a maiden Six Nations title.
