KOBE (Reuters) - Scotland are determined to make up for the meek, lifeless display that allowed Ireland to bully them from start to finish in their World Cup opener but despite a brutally honest review of their performance they still do not know what went wrong.

Gregor Townsend's side were inferior in every department on Sunday, their worrying trend of conceding early tries continuing in Yokohama where they trailed 19-3 before the half-hour mark and never laid a glove on their Pool A opponents.
