Kyle Steyn Apologizes, Questions Scotland’s Nerve After Argentina Collapse

The wing says supporters are right to doubt the team, promising a hard look at the performance before facing Tonga.

Overview

  • Steyn publicly accepted responsibility for the defeat and asked whether Scotland have the “marbles in the big moments.”
  • Scotland led Argentina 21-0 before conceding five tries in 23 minutes to lose 33-24, triggering boos at Murrayfield.
  • He cited a pattern after Scotland also let a late opportunity slip against New Zealand, conceding the game in the final eight minutes.
  • The team plans a searching review of the Argentina match, with preparation now focused on Sunday’s test against Tonga.
  • Steyn said talk of a Scottish “golden generation” should be shelved until the side consistently delivers, adding that fan frustration is understandable.
