Thinking of going - but are Greece any good or will Scotland just walk through them?

Scotland are without doubt the short-odds favourites, however, there are a few names in the Greece squad that suggest they will not exactly be complete pushovers: 

- Billy Magoulias (Newtown/Cronulla), Peter Mamouzelos, Nick Mougios (South Sydney), Jake Kambos, Chaise Robinson (Sydney Roosters).

Come on Greece!!

Nothing against Scotland but I’d rather see a team of players actually from that country in the World Cup than one with a load of blokes who’ve discovered a grandparent so they can play international rugby. Tonga etc are different as they clearly see themselves as Tongan and are very proud to play for them, even if they are born in Aus or NZ.

Not sure there will be so many homegrown in the Greece team if they get to the WC.

The Greece diaspora down under is huge.

Eddie must have talked about family and heritage with all the Scotland players.
