You don't need 11 superstars on the pitch to succeed.
You can really piggyback off two or three really good players for most of the tournament.
You probably get to a point then where it's like, OK...
You're not going to pass the quarter or semi-final if you're not star-studded.
But I think Scotland have that.
They have two or three really good European players at present over the last season or two, like John McGinn, Scott McTominay.
They have enough to beat most teams at the World Cup.
Yeah, my boys won last night or this morning.
Where's the evidence?
I've backed him the whole way.
Yeah, they're my dark horses actually.
Right, okay.
The game against Westmead was, I suppose, a green shoot in ways, although it's probably not indicative of where we're at because Dermot McCabe obviously has history with Westmead and is familiar with that system and familiar with Mark McHugh.
So I don't know how much you can read into that.
But some players, some of the young players have brought in the panel over the last few games and the last couple of seasons.
really played well in that game so I suppose there's a little bit of positivity around the team and the feeling that Dublin can be got at here a little bit and obviously not playing their best stuff but with Jair Bredin coming back on the Sunday afternoon Padraig Huffick-Burness he's back on the bench the forward line looks absolutely stacked it might just be a little bit too much for Cavan but
and also Calvin had a bunch of injury issues as well.
I see Oshun Brady just in the team there.
He's actually come back onto the bench.
He was a big injury concern, so that's a bit of a boost for Calvin.
