TOKYO - Gregor Townsend had hoped Scotland’s up-tempo brand of rugby would carry them into the knockout stage of the World Cup but their campaign was undone by one side who slowed them to walking pace and another who actually played even faster.
A plodding defeat to Ireland in their opener and a spirited loss to a vibrant Japan bookended their tournament, and while Townsend was bitterly disappointed to be going home he tipped his cap to the ‘Brave Blossoms’. Scotland trailed 31-0 before fighting back to score six tries and stood on the brink of a famous victory before George Ford’s converted try deep in stoppage time snatched a 38-38 draw at Twickenham.
Townsend said after the loss that they needed to play their best in their next three games if they were to avoid the same fate as the 2011 side that failed to make it out of the pool phase in New Zealand.
