Finishing the key

Scotland coach Andy Robinson has urged his players not to waste their chances in the two-Test series as the team left for Argentina in The Scotsman.

"In any game of rugby that is what you have to do, and we didn't do it in that last game against Argentina. We can look at three or four of the games when that hasn't happened. That's one of the areas of the game we need to improve on, our ability to finish. "It's okay doing all the good build-up work but we have got to get across the line and score tries. We always have to have a real collective edge about the way we defend. Coming together for the Japan game enabled us to get that. There is always a way that we have to improve every facet of our game.

"There has been a belief about the way the team has played through the autumn and the Six Nations. Again it was looking at ourselves, the accuracy of our handling, our inability to finish and some of the dull penalties we gave away.

"They are all facets you have in a very physical game, so it's important we are able to stay in control of the game in the way that we don't give dull penalties away, and also our execution – having good hands and being able to keep hold of the ball."
