Pool B to be decided in final round of games next weekend
The Scots were so confident of getting the result they required at Stade Pierre Mauroy that they made 13 changes from the side that started against Tonga the previous Sunday, preserving most of their A-listers for the Ireland match in Paris.There was no danger of the decision to field so many fringe men backfiring from the moment Hamish Watson got the Scots off and running with the first try of the match in the eighth minute.
It was Graham’s turn to get on the scoresheet just four minutes later when he touched down following a brilliant individual run, bringing him level with his Edinburgh team-mate Van der Merwe, one of those given the night off. Scotland took full advantage as Graham scored his second of the evening to move ahead of Van der Merwe and level with Paterson.
