McGeechan expects great things for his side

Scotland coach Ian McGeechan is confident his players can bring to fruition nearly three years of groundwork and hit their World Cup opponents with a bright, expansive style of rugby.

McGeechan believes it is crucial that the Scots succeed in dictating how their Pool B games against Japan, the USA, France and Fiji are played if they are to maintain their World Cup record of qualifying for the quarter-finals at every tournament.
