The next phase to be played from 11 metres on the Scotland side of the halfway line. Ed Ames with the ball on the run here. He's already gained 3 metres. It looks like he's going to be tackled by Allan Jacobson but he manages to offload to Luke Pilgrim in time. The next phase to be played from 14 metres on the Scotland side of the halfway line. Luke Pilgrim with the ball on the run here. He's already gained 10 metres. It looks like he's going to be tackled by Rory Lamont but he manages to offload to Marcuss Deane in time.

It looks like he's going to be tackled by Richie Gray but he palms the big man in the chest and he's given himself just enough space to get in under the posts!! TRY TO Cricsim Conversion attempt for the Cricsim. Kick to be taken by Ed Ames. Great kick. He's nailed that one and they earn the extra 2 points. Cricsim 29 - 27 Scotland

76:30 Good tackle by by Chris Cusiter on Al Farnsworth not far shy from the half way line. Allan Jacobsen and Euan Murray pile in, but Heath Davis barges them off the top. Luke Pilgrim comes in and Davis has helped secure quick ball. Pilgrim throws a no look inside pass and club-mate Ed Ames is there to take it. That catches the Scots completely by surprise. Does Ames still have the legs in him to reach the try line? Southwell is trying to reel him in. He dives for the tackle, but Ames skips through it and dives down in the corner. A lot of pressure on the conversion, and Ames looks puffed. This would secure the win. He kicks... But it sails wide. Cricsim 34 - 27 Scotland
80:00 The ball is wedged deep in a ruck as the siren goes. The Scots pile in, but the ball comes out on the Cricsim side. Pilgrim throws it back deep to Hutchinson. Poor pass and it drops short of Hutchinson who slides into the ball with his boot and hacks it into touch. THAT'S THE GAME! What a nailbiter.

Had a couple of minor issues. It was double counting the fatigue effects for a couple of players and I didn't notice until half time. Penalised Cricsim more than Scotland and I've already fixed that error so it won't happen again.
