After the game, Scotland 7s coach Stephen Gemmell said: These guys are out there wearing a Scotland 7s jersey and that’s just not good enough. I think the boys are a bit shell-shocked with the level of physicality there is here. However, I’m not pinning the blame entirely on the players; we all need to front up together. We play the Arabian Gulf in just over an hour and they’ve performed well so far and they’ll have the crowd behind them. There are lots of Scotland supporters here and we owe them a performance after that.
