The British and Irish Lions Squad to Tour South Africa was announced on Tuesday with only 2 of the 37 players being Scottish (and one of them was born and raised in Australia). Is this a sad but true reflection of the current state of Scottish Rugby and perhaps more so, Scottish Sport in general ?
It's not too long ago (pre Premiership) that almost every team in England's Top Football Division had at least one Scottish player in their ranks.
We don't currently have a Scottish Golfer in the top 100 in the World Rankings, nor are there many Scottish Track and Field Athletes setting the heather on fire at National (UK) Level, never mind worldwide.
Andy Murray aside (and perhaps Bowls, Curling and Snooker - if that's truly a "Sport (perhaps that's for another topic)", the Saltire doesn't appear to be flying very high in the Sporting World.
Are we currently experiencing the down-side of the "Playstation/PC Culture" or are other nations (especially the emerging ones) doing something we are not?
