A trying time for Mcinally

-

STUART MCINALLY was not satisfied after Scotland’s win over Samoa, even though his two tries helped seal victory.

The hooker made the most of Ross Ford’s injury to turn out a man-of-thematch display, but saw the hosts concede five times in an 11-try thriller at Murrayfiel­d.

The Pacific Islanders clawed their way back from 32-10 down – and Mcinally admitted there was work to do before New Zealand next week.

“It was 32-10 when I went off, with a bit of breathing space,” he said. “But it was a concern how quickly they responded to our tries.

“Ahead of next week we have a lot to work on.”
