Hadden sticks with tried and tested as history looms

SCOTLAND head coach Frank Hadden was happy to stick with his tried and tested as his unchanged team look to cement their place in history with a win over Argentina in tomorrow night’s World Cup quarter-final.

Hadden, as expected, failed to deliver any surprises ahead of the showdown with the Pumas, keeping faith with the side that squeezed past Italy 18-16 in St Etienne last weekend.

The bulk of the 22 selected played together in the three must-win group games as well as the warm-up matches prior to the World Cup, and have been showing signs of gradual improvement.
