Scotland captain, Jon Petrie lead his team for the first time with an assurance that gained the respect of both his team and the supporters.
"When you are trying to play a different style of rugby it takes time to settle into it but we trusted it and we didn't have to divert to plan B," said JP. "You have to have confidence in the style of play you are trying to play and we proved that it is going to work but we are not getting complacent about things."
His Glasgow colleague, Andy Henderson, was a deserved Man of the Match, and scored the first of Scotland's tries. His play was solid throughout the game, with some impressive tackles being made. Meanwhile, Scott Lawson's first game in a Scotland shirt showed why the hooker has been earning praise from his supporters in Glasgow - he was confident in the set-piece and gave his all in the loose, setting up the opportunity for Andy Henderson to score.
Meanwhile the brothers Lamont both had good games on each wing, although Sean's pace and tackling made his the more prominent performance. Rory was unfortunate to be on the receiving end of several wayward passes, but showed up well in his defensive duties.
The Glasgow lads who came on from the bench played their part in ensuring Scotland held onto, and stretched their lead. Euan Murray's first start saw him shoring up the creaking Scottish scrum, and also showed his versatility in switching from loosehead to tighthead as Bruce Douglas was injured after he came on for Jacobsen. Andy Wilson and Craig Hamilton both played well when they came on, the latter showing enough speed and mobility to give Glasgow supporters a reason to look forward to his arrival next season.
Bevvy came on and looked sharp, working well with Dan Parks, who kicked well and put in Sean Lamont for his try.
Final mention to the other Glasgow player on the park - Kenny Logan had the sun shining on his last professional match and made his final bow to a good reception from the Pittodrie crowd.
