We talk to Shane Horgan and Andrew Trimble about our philosophy in attack, what changes Farrell should make for the Italy game, if we are any closer to finding out who our best halfbacks are, the impact made by Paul O’Connell and the non impact from Mike Catt, and if this Scottish generation are already running out of time to seize a golden opportunity.
