Robinson hails Scots' courage

Scotland head coach Andy Robinson hailed his players' fighting spirit after their 13-9 win over Argentina in Mar del Plata.

An early try by Jim Hamilton helped Scotland claim a historic win over the Pumas, having already defeated them 24-16 in Tucuman a week ago.

"Some days you go and win ugly, some days you go and win through courage. I think today we won with courage," Robinson said on Saturday evening.

The win was Scotland's third in succession away from home, their best run since 1982, and completes their first ever two-Test series win in the Southern hemisphere.

Robinson added: "Everybody was desperate to win the game, the replacements came on the field and gave us some energy, they performed really well."

"It gives everybody belief in what we are trying to do. Winning gives you belief.

"I think we scrummaged well and also the players on the bench like Alasdair Dickinson and Scott Lawson did well when they came on. We have shown very consistent form against a very good back row."

However, Robinson believes Scotland could have opened up more than a 10-6 gap by half-time.

He said: "Considering that we controlled the first half as well as we did, we didn't control the scoreboard.

"We went into the second half with a four-point lead. We have to learn that when we have the dominance that we had, you have to be sure to be 15 points clear."
