‘Hard-fought and ragged’: Your views on Scotland’s win over Chile

Scotland fans, we asked for your views after the convincing eight-try win over Chile in Santiago.

Here’s what some of you had to say:

Lyall: Ben Healy is still yet to really impress in a Scotland jersey. Much ado was made of his signing but Adam Hastings showed what we have been missing when he came on.

David: The first 20 minutes were definitely tough for the Scots as they tried to figure out how to combat the physical Chileans. Once pick and drives close to the ruck seemed to provide a way forward the Scotland forwards grew into the game and allowed the backs to show what they can do. Classic ‘forwards decide the win, backs by how much’. Great win!

David: This never felt like a proper test match and I don’t think Mathieu Raynal treated it with much interest but that was in our favour. Encouraging to watch Matt Currie and Stafford McDowall. Hopefully they can pair against Uruguay. The lineout was excellent. Patrick Harrison shows great promise also. Best to say nothing about the first 20 minutes.

Kenny: A comfortable win at the end of the day. Chile a vastly improved team. Dylan Richardson looks to be a useful player. Lets hope that he remains in Gregor Townsend’s plans and that we continue to use those new players in the final match next week.

Stuart: Result was much as was expected with the newer boys seeing and feeling a tougher test match! Good work from Chile to stifle the rolling maul through the match. Ben Healy, Kyle Rowe and Jamie Dobie were very good. Currie terrific as was Chris Harris. Josh Bayliss and Nathan McBeth put in a good shifts. Pleasing to see more depth in the squad.

Arran: A little slow to start with but once they got into gear after the first 20 it was really good to see the backs involved and some nice skill on show. On to arguably our toughest test in Montevideo next week!

Patrick: At times hard-fought, at times ragged, but only to be expected bearing in mind the youth and inexperience at top international level.
