BARRY MCGUFFOG Royal High RU, Edinburgh, Saturday

THE Armed Forces proved too strong for Scotland in the home side’s last game of the year. 

Sekove Sereki and John Davetanivalu crossed in the first seven minutes, with Sereki adding the first of his five goals.

Scotland never quite recovered, despite Simon Raivou replying midway through the opening period and Jason Lee adding the extras. 

UKAF went on to establish a 24-6 interval lead with tries by Iliaseri Qoro, Vilive Kenatale and Davetanivalu, and the visitors were 40-6 ahead by the hour with the help of touchdowns from Josh Morrison, Callum Buccanon and Ashley Kavanagh.

Oli Shakeshaft and Roserutabua Tawanayavulala responded with quickfire tries before, in the last eight minutes, the Armed Forces hit the half-century with touchdowns by Kalivati Gonerogo and Finley Curtis.

Simon Raivou nipped over for Scotland shortly before Curtis’’ score, Lee landing his second conversion.
