KOBE, Japan: Scotland revived their Rugby World Cup campaign with a decisive 34-0 win over Samoa in Kobe on Monday that saw the Pacific islanders finish a man down.
Scotland secured the four-try bonus point with two penalty tries, Ed Fidow shown a pair of yellow cards that meant the Samoa wing saw red six minutes from time. The Ireland reverse led Townsend to make wholesale changes, including fielding an entirely new back-row against Samoa. In the error-strewn early exchanges, the biggest cheers went to a spectator playing the bagpipes, a traditional Scottish instrument.But the character of the match changed on the half-hour mark when Scotland became the 20th -- and last -- team at this World Cup to score a try.
Then, with nothing else on, Hogg dropped a goal from wide out on the left from just inside halfway, a distance of some 50 metres with the angle, to make it 20-0. Following a catch and drive off a close-range line-out, French referee Pascal Gauzere, after consulting the television match official, awarded a penalty try and sent Fidow to the sin-bin - Samoa's third yellow card in two matches - for collapsing the maul.
