Scotland kick oittheir attempt at the
1986 Four Nations Championship against France at Murraytield on January 18. They will be aiming to divest themselves at the wooden spoon which they so ingloriously won last year, returning themselves to the
ground with a thump atter the triumphs =_ oi the previous season. This year is a
particularly interesting one lor the
national team. Following the trial
match on January 4, in which the Blues
were given a sound thrashing by the reserve Reds, there are more young players than there have been tor many years pressing ior caps. The trial match

FRENCH LESSONS
two years ago the Reds cuited the so called lirst team, and as we all know, Scotland went on to do the Grand Slam. Following this match, it would come as no surprise to see as many as six players getting their lirst caps against France. While the selectors must see this as a happy problem, they must be more upset at the lack ot Iain Paxton and almost certainly, David Leslie, Scotland’s best player.
