Chris Cusiter Scotland scrum-half

Hundreds of you sent in questions for Chris Cusiter, our BBC Sport pundit inside the Scotland camp.

Here are a selection of some of them, with more answers to come as each week of the RBS Six Nations progresses.

Q: What in your opinion would be a good season for Scotland this year and how do we beat England?
Alan Wilson, Johannesburg, South Africa

I don't really want to look forward beyond the France match on Sunday, and victory in that, which I think is achievable. We're confident we have the players and game-plan to get a positive result from that game and take that into the subsequent matches.

Q: Do you think you can win your place back coming off the bench?
Jonathan Ingarfield, Southampton

In the autumn Tests, the replacement scrum-half was used in every game and the important thing is to try to make the maximum impact for the team's benefit with 20 minutes to go or whatever. The objective is to win the game and if you think too much about your own position, there's a danger of trying too hard to impress.

Q: Everyone has something that they can't help but like, even though it is slightly sad. What is your guilty pleasure?
Beatrice, London

Mmm, I'm not sure about this one. I suppose watching Neighbours from time to time is pretty sad.

Q: I find it hard to accept that Frank Hadden has to play either you or Mike Blair. You are both surely deserving of a place in the backline. How about him at fly-half and you at scrum-half?
Adam, Glasgow

I'm not sure if that's a realistic option. We both play scrum-half for our respective pro teams and have played in that position for the majority of our careers, so to change position now would be a big gamble. I don't think Mike has played fly-half professionally but, while I don't know what plans the management have, I think there's definitely scope for us both to play a big part in the Six Nations.

Q: What's been your greatest and worst moment in rugby so far?
Calum Edmond, Alloa

I'd have to say winning my first cap, which was a lifetime ambition realised, and going on the Lions tour would definitely be the highlights. Being beaten by Italy a couple of years ago was probably the lowest point in my career.

Q: Is there a perceptible difference in the belief and confidence of the Scotland squad from this time last year?
Doug Mackenzie, Farnborough

I have to say that last year we were just as excited about our potential to do well. I think the nature of the tournament means you're always confident at the outset. We believed last season that we could win our first game and we definitely believe we can on Sunday. The fact that it's at home is an important factor and a win would be a massive boost for the rest of the tournament.

Q: Do you think Scotland's second-half performance against the All Blacks in the autumn signals a resurgence in Scottish rugby?
Chris Lee, Huntly

That second-half performance was a confidence booster because it showed that we can compete with the best in the world. But we know we're not yet the finished article and we have to show that kind of form over 80 minutes and actually start to win games.

Q: Is it true that Mike Blair is a better table tennis player than you are?
(John Boyle, Letchworth

Of the current squad, he's probably higher up the rankings than I am. I could give him a good game, but ultimately he would probably win!
