Second win for Scotland in Romania



Wing Simon Webster bagged two tries as Scotland A laboured to a 27-3 IRB Nations Cup victory over Uruguay in the blistering heat in Bucharest.

Head coach Andy Robinson ringed the changes with 11 players who triumphed in Friday's 49-7 win over Russia dropped to the bench.

And it clearly showed with Webster the only player to crash over after a well work sequence in the first half as Uruguay's stubborn defence aggravated the Scots.

However the South Americans were finally breached after the restart with Webster strolling over in the corner for his second and replacement Scott Lawson powering over just before the full-time whistle.

David Blair kicked 12 points to add to Webster and Lawson's scores while No.10 Jeronimo Etcheverry's second-half drop goal was all Uruguay had to show for their efforts.

Scotland will have little time to dwell on the result with France next up on Sunday.
