Grove: brave Scots can beat anyone

ALEX GROVE insists Scotland can now “beat anyone in the world” after helping them end their 27-year losing streak to Australia in just his second Test. Worcester centre Grove, who does not turn 22 until a week today, has enjoyed a dream start to international rugby, with two wins from two matches.

He could play another 200 and not experience one as dramatic as Saturday night’s incredible 9-8 victory at Murrayfield. The game saw Scotland complete one of the greatest rearguard wins in recent Test history to beat the Wallabies for the first time in the last 17 attempts.

It was also only their second success in 43 matches against one of the Tri-Nations teams and Grove believes the result proves anything is possible under Scotland’s new head coach, Andy Robinson.
