Scotland Six Nations 2022 prediction

Scotland are dark horses to win the whole thing in 2022. They're produced standalone victories up there with the best teams in world rugby.

They have lacked consistency but on their day, they could be the wildcard team that can break hopes in 2022. They kick off with a superb opportunity to defeat England and get their tournament off to a hot start.

Scotland will finish: 3rd
