The Scots lost to the Wallaroos 31–22, but they had to defeat Australia in their last game in Cape Town to win the title.
Although he was pleased with his team’s ability to rally from a 21-0 deficit and regain the game, Easson says the disappointment of losing shouldn’t be overshadowed by the comeback.

It is encouraging to see that they have the will, the spirit, and the drive to return to the game.

We don’t expect that standard, though. We don’t want to be proud of a loss while pursuing games. Those days are long gone.
Our goal today is to climb as high as we can in the global rankings.
We hold ourselves to the same standards and strive for them every day in order to ensure that we advance to the World Cup knockout stages.
