Scotland will take perhaps their most complete side ever to the 2023 Rugby World Cup but know that they face a difficult itinerary in France.<\/p>\n
Gregor Townsend has forged a fine team since taking charge in 2017, bouncing back from a pool stage exit four years ago to earn himself a contract extension ahead of this tournament after a strong Six Nations showing.<\/p>\n
But with Ireland and South Africa, two of the four leading contenders for the trophy, and a dangerous Tonga alongside them in Pool B, Scotland could well find themselves battling to make a quarter-final again.<\/p>\n
Still, Townsend\u2019s band of history-makers have a habit of proving people wrong and are more than capable of progressing.<\/p>\n
Here is the World Cup schedule for Scotland and their possible route to the final.<\/p>\n
