It was great while it lasted but the honeymoon is well and truly over for coach Andy Robinson according to Iain Morrison in the Scotland on Sunday.
"Was that win over the Wallabies really just three short months ago? Because it feels like ancient history after this performance.
"...With Scotland defending a narrow three-point advantage, and never looking comfortable doing so, Italian substitute scrum-half Paolo Canavosio proved the home hero by popping up with the only try of the match with just 11 minutes left on the clock. He had only been on the field for quarter of an hour. It followed a cracking break by centre Gonzalo Canale, who cut in on the angle and Jim Hamilton may not even have noticed the centre as he flew past his nose. Canale was stopped in his tracks but offloaded to Canavosio, who wrong-footed the defence to dot down under the posts. It was fitting that the only try of the match proved decisive."
