Gregor Townsend on Scotland's win over Portugal
Transcript
00:00Portugal really tested us at times, when you play such an ambitious attacking game you
00:14might make errors and I felt that defence got rewards at times in getting the ball back
00:20but also if you're attacking and I thought they were accurate with their attack so much
00:25you're going to cause the defence problems and they did more in the second half so yeah
00:30I credit to them for that they brought a lot of physicality and line speed that we had to just
00:36adjust and find solutions and the players did that the first half was probably more clinical
00:43at times once we got through a sticky five ten minutes second half with the changes we were making
00:49and the fact we didn't have as much possession the second half maybe it wasn't as fluent but
00:53that was a good performance and a very good win against a test team
