​In the wake of South Africa’s win over Scotland in Pretoria on Saturday, head coach Rassie Erasmus, in full tummy-tickling mode, praised the visitors to the hilt, listing their big wins against Argentina, France and England this year before calling them the third best team in the world.Kind words, but nonsense, of course. Scotland were terrific for large parts of it in Pretoria, but they lost.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAnd, as Scotland’s forwards coach John Dalziel said on Tuesday, such praise isn’t really worth a damn to them anymore, not unless it comes with the breakthrough victories they now desperately crave.”We’re not that type of team anymore,” said Dalziel, ahead of Scotland’s final game in their summer programme, against Fiji at Murrayfield on Saturday.He’s expecting the visitors to deliver a “backlash” after getting monstered by England last weekend.Dalziel was asked if all the garlands being thrown at his team’s style of play meant much when they ended up losing.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”We’re very clear on who we are and what we are,” he said. “It’s pretty clear when you look through it, we did enough to get 11 entries into the [South Africa] red zone and it’s about taking those moments.”The good thing is we’re creating opportunities. We just need to be more clinical.”Some of the little errors we’ve seen at the weekend are probably not recurring errors, they’re just moments that haven’t been there before – a skill error. We just ruined a couple of moments and in any Test match now that’s the difference.”Scotland’s great entertainers were scintillating and sloppyScotland fall short in 10-try thriller with South AfricaPodcast: Scotland go down to South Africa in epic Pretoria testIt might be a cry that we’ve heard a lot in recent years but Dalziel, whose forwards were thunderously impressive in Pretoria, believes that Scotland are beginning to close the gap on the game’s elite.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”We’re getting closer,” he said. “We’re learning from these teams because we’re playing them more. We’re on the right trajectory.”It’s not just that we’ve had a good performance, we’re actually really disappointed that we haven’t had the win and the language has changed massively around that.”It’s a game we expected to win. We’re beyond trying to be performers now and giving ourselves a pat on the back. We want to win these games. We’ve still got that last bit of growing to do.”After the heroics of Cordoba in round one and the agony of Pretoria in round two, Scotland complete their first round of games in the new Nations Championship against Fiji in front of an expected crowd of around 50,000.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFor Gregor Townsend, the mere mention of Fiji will evoke some tough memories – a bruising loss to them in only his third Test as Scotland coach and another, last summer, again in the hothouse of Suva.The clearest recollection from both of those games is Fiji power, Fiji pac
