How reliable is that website? I’m pretty sure Scotland lined up that night with Thomson, Munro and Weir in the team. I can clearly remember thanking at the time “three Saints players starting a game for Scotland, there's a decent chance this won’t happen again in my lifetime”
I also remember that we knew at the time that it wasn’t absolutely the first pick selection, there was an element of experimenting with the personnel, tinkering with the formation etc.
