Cov Rugby 61 London Scottish 10 - yer bum's oot the windae if you think Cov are on the slide as hosts gie it laldy to peelie-wally Scottish
I'm not sure whether the stats would back this up, but it felt as if we kicked far less than we have at times this season and with far fewer handling errors going forward, we caused the Scottish defence all sorts of problems and in truth, they struggled to handle the pace and directness of our runners. The penalty count, 21-7 in favour of Cov, is indicative of the pressure that Scottish found themselves under and I thought they were a little lucky to get away with just a coup
