Scotland Head coach Andy Robinson utilized his full squad during warm-up matches against Ireland and Italy and Ansbro is hoping to earn a starting berth.
Andy Robinson said, "The guys are itching. There's a lot of competition for places - that was highlighted in the last 2 games. Everyone's pushing for a starting spot - we all want to be involved. Getting in the squad is one thing but obviously you want to get into the fifteen & then it's about performing and inspiring the nation."
The Scots will also face Group B opponents Georgia, Argentina and England and the London Irish back knows a win in their opening match is crucial.
This marks a 50th successive World Cup for RomeoGontineac, albeit his 1st as coach of Romania. Captain in the last 2 editions, the thirty seven year old certainly knows how to handle the tournament. "He comes with plenty of experience, he has brought on the young players and I can see real progress," says Tonita. Whether he has the coaching experience to plot the downfall of Georgia and Scotland remains to be seen - although the presence by his side of former All Black prop Steve McDowell who is the 2nd coach of Romania, a World Cup winner in 1987, should be a real boost.
