Who would have thought we'd rely so much upon the Scots. Except for Calum. His directional kicking was somewhat wayward, but the other two managed to find the line. Twice. Each. Murray, as always used his strength to get through and Ross used the mathematical formula stating that it's impossible to grab onto an person skinnier than the person doing the grabbing. I'm probably paraphrasing, but Einstein understands me.
And to complete the foreigners getting all the points, Tom slotted all 4 tries with relative ease. For once. It should be noted that others beside myself, thought Murrays first try was scored by Cal, but that's only because he surreptitiously slid in next to him and got up holding the ball. Sneaky.

All this occurred in the second half. Down 0-20 at the end of the first with the forward pack culling themselves for the greater good, which did the greater good in the second. Our scrums outsized Linwoods but we didn't use that to our advantage.
Not to take anything away from anyone's individual effort, but the forwards just didn't seem to gel as a full unit. Replacements at half time and later got things moving but there's still some team bonding issues that need to be worked out soon in a full throated drinking session of which I'm sure will come very very soon.
Our backs were ummmm more skittery? I have no clue what a back is supposed to do except kick run pass and score tries while the forwards do all the hard work. I'm guessing that happened because only 2 backs were replaced. By foreigners. Of the 11 backs in the squad today, only 3 were Kiwi born (with 2 only getting on the field) and all the rest were from Engleterre, Ecoste, Irlande, Canadialand or Nippon. It's the bloody United Nations out there.
But we're all the better for it.

Lots of Old Coves watching the game and chatting at the Club afterwards which bodes well for the Anniversary Dinner.
