    Scotland captain Rachel Malcolm tells BBC Sport: "It was really tough.

    "At half-time we had a real energy about us, but that 15-20 minutes after half-time they really turned it up a notch. We didn't really react.

    "We showed we can compete against the best, but if we don't concentrate and keep our intesnity for the full 80 minutes then teams will punish us and that's what they did.

    "I'm super proud of the effort - to score a try at the death is what this team is all about."
