    SOUNDBITE: (English) Vern Cotter, Scotland head coach

    (asked what he is feeling ahead of first Six Nations campaign):

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Vern Cotter, Scotland head coach

    (on what changes he has made to the team):

    "The changes are just.... really encouraging the players to be themselves and.... and play with the character that they have. And to be honest, if you look at, the traditional values of Scottish people, it's just embodying that and trying to put that on the paddock and it's about being together. We're always in a slightly underdog situation. That's a result of numbers, it's a result of a lot of things, it's.... but there's great spirit, so we, sort of go back to, being spirited and being together."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Vern Cotter, Scotland head coach:

    "There's a collective energy, throughout the country, which is really important. When the players, really enjoyed the games we played at home during the Autumn series. The supporters came out, it was colourful, it was vibrant, it was passionate and.... and it's filtered through. The players, love playing in front of their home crowd and if we can give them something to cheer for that's great. So.... momentum, it's just about, essentially, enjoying yourself, and everyone can have fun together."
