AMIDST the general disappointment of last week’s defeat in the first Test against Argentina, it is perhaps too easily forgotten that, for a significant if all too brief stretch of play, Scotland played rather well.
When they fought back from 18-6 down to 18-18 in the third quarter, they at least offered a glimpse of what might have been but for the subsequent loss of concentration and lapse in discipline which in the end produced a 26-18 defeat.
