Scotland Women suffer narrow defeat against Japan at Scotstoun
Megan Gaffney scored two tries as Scotland suffered a last-gasp 24-20 defeat to Japan at Scotstoun.
Gaffney opened the scoring in the second minute and grabbed her second try in the 56th minute before Rachel Malcolm powered over from a rolling maul to put Scotland 20-10 in front.
However, Makoto Ebuchi’s try in the 71st minute was converted by Ai Hirayama to reduce the deficit and substitute Ayasa Otsuka glided over in the 79th minute to seal victory for the visitors, with Hirayama converting from in front of the posts.

Gary Graham to Carcassone from Newcastle????
Go to commentsWell done in putting Eddie's stats into perspective Nick. I'd like to see the try/phase stats after discounting tries from rolling mauls and intercepts. Reminds me of the story Rocky Elsom once told about how the Edster figured out that scrums only take up an average of 8 minutes a game. Apparently our Messiah thus concluded that the team should only devote 8 minutes to the scrum at training!
