Scotland narrowly lost 5-6 to Japan after being 5-3 up with 2 ends to play. From the graphics it looked as though a complete miss by Tom Brewster with last stone allowed Japan the single shot in the last end to claim the win. In the following session, the Scots then lost 3-5 to Canada. It was 3-3 after 5 ends and still 3-3 after 8 ends. Canada then scored 2 shots in the ninth end and proceeded to run Scotland out of stones in the last end for a concession.
These results mean that Scotland are way behind at the halfway stage. Unbeaten Canada lead the way with 5 wins, with Norway and Sweden on 4 wins. Next come Denmark, Japan and USA on 3 wins. In the bottom half of the table are Finland, Russia, Scotland and Switzerland on 2 wins. Germany and Korea have yet to win a game.
The Scots didn't play in the last session tonight and get a long lie tomorrow morning, so they should be fresh enough to play Switzerland in the afternoon and USA at night. These games fall into the must-win category as the opposition are roughly in the same position as Scotland - must do better. Here's hoping we can move up the table by the time of my next report.
