England - Scotland : David against Goliath
A game with the 6 Nations Tournament's appearance. But this time, the two teams will play with a round ball. English are the favorite and are going to try to get a ticket for the final. While Scottish, best second, will attempt to create the upset.
Unbeaten in the competition, England is on a three game winning streak. Best offense and best defense of the tournament, this squad simply looks unplayable. But this English team didn't look so homogeneous at the beginning of the Toulon Tournament.
"We have a strange group, a mixture of some of U20, some of U19 and maybe the half of U18 boys, so we had a very short period of time to prepare, to get to know one to another which we’ve done I think quite well", explained England's coach, Neil Dewsnip. Without forcing its game, with calm and a coldness of steel, England knocks down every opponents and gives the impression of domination.
"A lot of things had to go in our favor to be qualified for the semi-finals. We did all we could after our first bad result against Czech Republic to have a chance to go through.
Being invited in such a Tournament is a massive achievement", forScotland's forward, Ryan Hardie, his team already succeed his tournament. A semi final's participation is a bonus for Scott Gemill's men.
Even if the journey of Scotland was a lot more difficult than England. Oliver Burke's teammates will come to this game without any pressure on their shoulder. By the way, Oliver Burke is the only asset for Scotland. With his speed and his physical impact, he will try to break the english block.
