Scotland will face Japan in the Bowl quarter-final tomorrow after losing to pool opponents Argentina (14-7) and Tonga (22-7) on day two of the IRB Adelaide 7s. Scotland started the morning with a marked improvement from their day one defeat to New Zealand and were unfortunate not to come away with more from the opening encounter against Argentina. Scotland opened the scoring with a try from stand-off Rory Hutton, who beat the tracking sweeper to the try line after some good, ball-retaining phase-play. Contracted sevens internationalist Mike Adamson added conversion however, having equalised before the half-time hooter, the Argentines nicked the lead and the win in a very tense second-half with the Scots left rueing a couple of missed opportunities to take a scalp from a top-eight side. Scotland 7s head coach Stephen Gemmell, said: “It was certainly an improvement on the New Zealand game in that we got ourselves into a good winning position against a top team but our lack of experience [the squad have four new caps in Adelaide] was evident towards the end when we could have made more of a couple of chances.” While the reduced physicality of the Argentines suited the Scots in their day two opener, there was be no doubt that their second match of the day, against Tonga, would be anything but. A pair of unconverted Tongan tries gave the Islanders the lead but their missed conversions meant that a try from pocket rocket Andrew Turnbull, and resulting conversion from Adamson, put them right back in contention. Disappointingly the Tongans got a converted score just before the break to stretch the lead before and unconverted effort sealed the tie in the second-half. Gemmell added: “The match against Tonga was disappointing in that it was a step down from our performance against Argentina early today but, like against New Zealand, we failed to cope with the physicality at the breakdown.” The result Scotland means that Scotland will play Japan in the IRB Adelaide 7s Bowl quarter-final at 11.44am local time tomorrow (Sunday, 1.14am GMT).
