(Reuters) – Scotland scored 11 tries in a comfortable 73-12 victory over Canada on Saturday as they made a successful start to their four-match tour of the Americas.
Canada skipper Lucas Rumball went over for the first try after seven minutes in Ottawa but it was Scotland who then dominated with tries from Dylan Richardson (2), Josh Bayliss and debutant Arron Reed securing a 24-5 lead at the break.
Reed added another try in the second half along with two for new scrumhalf Gus Warr and one try each for Harry Paterson, Jamie Dobie, co-captain Stafford McDowall and Kyle Steyn.
Canada also crossed again when lock Kyle Baillie forced his way over.
Scotland meet the U.S in Washington on Friday followed by tests in Chile and Uruguay.
