Brown is searching for end to away daze

- ROB ROBERTSON

Fraser Brown admits scotland have a ‘psychologi­cal barrier’ to overcome when it comes to winning away from home. The hooker, who is recovering from a toe injury that kept him out of saturday night’s 32-3 defeat to France, said in some away matches scotland had ‘just failed to turn up’ and that could not be allowed to continue. speaking on BBC radio scotland, Brown said: ‘we’ve now played in big internatio­nals away from home where we’ve performed, but we’ve played in a lot more games away from home where we haven’t performed and just failed to turn up. ‘It’s a psychologi­cal barrier, and it is something we’ll need to find a way to get over. It’s something we need to enforce within the group. I’m not sure how we do it. The best way to do it is by winning games away from home.’ FranCe lock Paul Gabrillagu­es has been cited for a late no-arms tackle at the ruck on John Barclay. no action was taken at the time by referee nigel owens. The hearing will take place tomorrow in London.
