Four penalties and a drop-goal from Dan Parks were enough to hand Scotland four pool points in a try-less encounter in wet conditions. After struggling to get the better of Romania in their opening fixture on Saturday, Scotland once again failed to impress against a side playing rather negative rugby. Opportunities were not lacking for Scotland, but their poor execution suggests that they will struggle to make the quarter-finals. *** next test: 9-18 Georgia v England Dunedin * 9-25 Scotland v Argentina Wellington **** |
