Belief, bravery and heart shown by Scotland can be built on going into World Cup
30 April 2025
Former Scottish international Gavin Hastings predicts that Scotland will progress from Pool B to set up a Rugby World Cup 2015 quarter-final with old rivals England.
Hastings, who played 61 times for Scotland and six times for the British & Irish Lions, was speaking before Scotland's opening pool game against Japan.
They also face Samoa, South Africa and the United States of America with the group winners taking on the runners-up of Pool A, in which England are battling Australia, Fiji, Uruguay and Wales.
After Japan's unexpected defeat of South Africa at the weekend, Scotland now have a shot at topping the pool.
