"Look at the scoreboard, look at the scoreboard!"Asked by a Scottish journalist about that crucial moment in the game - a converted Scotland try would have made it just 14-12 to the hosts - Hogg was churlish with his reply. "Yeah," he began. "There was a lot of good stuff that happened in that game but, unfortunately - classic move - we've picked out the negatives to look at, and I'm disappointed by that.
"If I get down [and dive] on my belly, I probably score that. On another day, I probably do. "And we're looking at five seconds of an 80-minute performance. So, yeah, fair play."That was not the only testy moment of a press briefing that was dominated by Scottish reporters pitching searching questions to Hogg, and then Townsend. On the six players that were disciplined, Hogg started off by trying to turn the matter into a positive. "For us, we put our hands up," he said. "We knew we made a mistake... it was a challenging week, but it was one of our best week's of preparation. The lads really stuck together." Pressed on breaching team discipline, as Scotland captain, Hogg was unimpressed that journalists were focusing on that, rather than positive aspects from his side's 21-point defeat. "What's out there is out there," he said, before adding, "I don't know how many times I have to say I've apologised and put my hands up. I made a mistake... I can't sit here and say I'm not disappointed... but I can't go back and change anything. I'm not going to be developing [that story].
