Dearth of tries need not mean match lacked entertainment
There is reason to think that Scotland coach Andy Robinson and his fellow coaches are getting there, despite the dearth of tries according to Allan massie in The Scotsman.
"Up front we were excellent in the loose and at the breakdown, and once again the back-row of Kelly Brown, Johnnie Beattie and John Barclay were outstanding. The line-out was very good. Ross Ford's throwing has improved out of recognition, and Alastair Kellock has been the revelation of the season, now surely our best line-out jumper since Scott Murray was in his prime. The set-scrum was again disappointing, and Euan Murray's apparent decline is worrying. A year ago he was regarded as the best tight-head in the championship; now it is probably only Moray Low's injury which is keeping him in the side."
