“It’s unfair to suggest that Dougie is carrying the can for any problems in our lineout last weekend. We challenged ourselves in that area by deciding to go for full lineouts to enhance our driving maul and full lineouts are the easiest to defend against.”
Hadden noted that Marcus Di Rollo is continuing to make progress from his sore hamstring from the French game. “We will be monitoring him closely this week and obviously we will be considering other options. Ben MacDougall and Graeme Morrison will both be with us in training,” he added.
