New Scotland coach Andy Robinson deserves praise after his players executed a well-planned strategy. Hugh MacDonald writes in The Herald.
"There is one leader of a Scotland side who is under pressure to depart but the coach of the national rugby side has made an impressive start. Andy Robinson was assailed by intemperate criticism on the airwaves before he encountered the press in the formal post-match conference after defeating Fiji 23-10 on Saturday but there was much to be encouraged by in a comfortable victory.
"Yes, this was a weakened Fiji team. Yes, Scotland were inconsistent, regularly sloppy in the second half. Yes, the pace drained from the performance suddenly, almost alarmingly. But this was a Scotland victory over a team ranked higher than them in world terms. Most importantly, Robinson made big decisions and he got all of them right."
