Late show from Greig Laidlaw helps Scotland to narrow victory

25 June 2016 12:53

Greig Laidlaw came off the bench to kick four late penalties as Scotland secured an undeserved 21-16 win over a gutsy Japan side in the second Test in Tokyo.

Japan showed they have something to offer at this level, scoring the only try of the game - a glorious 90-metre move finished off by Keito Shigeno - in front of a record crowd of 33,073.

But Laidlaw, a second-half replacement for Henry Pyrgos, kept his cool to slot four late penalties to help the tourists round off a long season with a narrow victory and a 2-0 series triumph.
