In a confession that will inevitably provoke thoughts of Mario Balotelli and Roberto Mancini's recent training-ground contretemps, Scott revealed that Edinburgh's run of five straight defeats has added an intensity to their preparations.
"Recently there have been a few scraps on the training pitch," said Scott. "A few boys have been having a go at each other. I suppose that is good, it shows that people care. It is easy from the outside to say that maybe they don't care but that is certainly not the case."
