Dickinson: Glasgow Warriors' flair inspired Scotland

Vern Cotter's young Scotland side held off a second-half comeback from Argentina on Saturday to win 41-31 in the Kiwi's first home game in charge, with ten members of the starting XV playing their club rugby for Gregor Townsend's GUINNESS PRO12 high-flyers.

Four of Scotland's five tries were scored by Glasgow players, but Dickinson was quick to add Cotter's new-look Scotland was not all about the Warriors.

"A few of us from other random clubs were thrown in as well," he quipped to the Edinburgh Evening News.

"We are a tight-knit bunch and the type of attacking rugby being played by Glasgow was taken forward through some of the combinations we used.

"Seriously, we regard ourselves as having no superstars and it is always about staying humble, rising again and grinding things out regardless of where we are playing club rugby.

"That was as good as it has ever been for me in a Scotland jersey. The sense of energy particularly from the new guys was just tremendous.

"But we need to be ruthless for the whole 80 minutes and it was not a complete performance by any means, but a good start.

"We just wanted to go out and prove to the Scottish public that we really care about playing for Scotland and that we can be relied on to battle hard.

"There's still plenty to work on, as if the fact the world champions are next up wasn't enough reason to keep us grounded."
