Scotland win warm-up match
Ron Johnstone is crowded out by Scotland players
Scotland were never in danger of losing
Scotland beat Canada West 14-9 in their latest warm-up for the Test match against Canada.

Gordon Ross kicked two first-half penalties to give the tourists a 6-3 lead at the interval in British Colombia.

Mike Danskin replied with a lone effort for the home side.


All of the players are enjoying what we are trying to do, and I think it's showing in the way they are playing
Ian McGeechan
Scotland coach
Danskin levelled matters in the 52nd minute before Ross restored Scotland's lead with his third penalty.

Prop Allen Jacobsen finally gave Scotland some breathing space in the 71st minute when he crashed over from close quarters for the game's only try.

Ross missed the conversion, however, and Danskin ensured there would be a few late nerves when he fired over a drop goal in injury time.

A crowd of 3,500 fans saw Scotland claim their third win on tour at Centennial Stadium in Victoria, with a Test against Canada coming up in Vancouver on Saturday.
