Scotland go two from two with win over United States in WXV2
By PA
Scotland beat the United States 24-14 in Cape Town to make it two wins from two WXV2 games.
Tries from Francesca McGhie, Emma Wassell and Rhona Lloyd, plus a Helen Nelson conversion, gave Scotland a 17-0 lead after 21 minutes before the USA responded on the stroke of half-time through Charli Jacoby’s converted score.
Chloe Rollie’s try, converted by Meryl Smith, secured a bonus point for Scotland and, despite USA hooker Paige Stathopoulos powering over 14 minutes from time, Bryan Easson’s side won for the fifth successive time.

Even with absences we still had the cattle to make the playoffs. As it was, we nearly stumbled our way into the top 8. Which shows just how easy it was to get there. And still we failed. As for Razor, there are many instances of him patching up the Crusaders roster. Numerous. Several players I'd never heard of. Also, using AB legend John Afoa was a classic.
But, some of the games we were losing were from schoolboy errors, or downright confusion. Either the players were really dumb (they weren’t) or they were poorly coached. Given the repetitive nature of errors, brain fades, poor decision making, & loose structures, this all lands with the coaching group.
With only six playoff spots now in SR, & Aussie franchises now consolidated to four, 2025 looks like a tight one. I'm picking we'll have to tough it out under Penney & hope for the best.
