Group B Update

So Scotland sped out of the blocks but now found themselves fourth in Group B and with a new coach. Now they trail France and Italy by three and two points respectively and Ukraine by a worse head to head record.

France have a relatively easy game against Georgia next time round whilst Italy have a slightly tougher affair at Lithuania, whilst Ukraine has to wait until September for their next game - against Georgia.

At the moment it's too close to call, but you would expect the class of France and Italy to be the difference come November - but I wouldn't ignore the grit and guile that Ukraine posses.
