The Scotsman's Bill Lothian names his Scotland team of the decade.
"Coach Andy Robinson's Scotland rugby team will enter the new decade enjoying a stability that has been unprecedented throughout these noughties years that are about to end.
"So, on the back of six matches unbeaten out of seven is it not reasonable to expect many of the players utilised by Robinson to dominate any Scotland line-up chosen from those who have pulled on the dark blue jersey over the past ten years?
"Well, yes. In this observer's view history is bound to confirm, for example, that Chris Paterson as an all-time Scotland great. What's more, for the purposes of this selection 'Mossy' can be justified entirely on the grounds that he is the only player to have been capped this season who debuted back in the '90s but remains in the forefront of the game and never mind that the Lions chose to ignore his abilities."
