Robinson praises Scottish defence

Head coach Andy Robinson has praised the improvement made by his defenders during Scotland's 15-6 victory over Georgia earlier today.

Robinson made ten changes from the side that opened up Scotland's World Cup campaign with a high scoring 34-24 victory over Romania at the weekend.

"It wasn't going to be pretty at times with the weather and we needed our front five to perform," he told ITV Sport.

"I thought they did that really well. I was really delighted with the way we defended. We had to step up from last week when we conceded 24 points.

"That was very disappointing, so it was pleasing to see this. The four-day turnaround was tough as well."

The victory takes the Scots to nine points from their opening two matches.
