Scotland's rugby team typically employs a 15-man formation with a traditional 8-3-2-2 backline structure, focusing on forward dominance through scrummaging and lineout precision. Their tactical approach emphasizes territorial control, kicking strategy, and aggressive defense, with recent teams adapting to include more attacking play through backs and quick ball movement. Formation adjustments vary depending on opposition and match conditions.
