    Credit to the USA because they were magnificent in the first half. But Scotland came out of the sheds in the second half and were superb.

    The Pool B table makes for fine reading for Scotland fans. They're top of the pile, three points ahead of two-time champions South Africa.

    I think Finn Russell has been a revelation since coming in to the Scotland setup. He is getting better and better. He is not scared to make mistakes. He has all the qualities and has the opportunity to become one of the best fly-halves in World Cup.

    Will Finn Russell be fit to face the Springboks on Saturday? The outside-half has developed into a key player for the Scots and Vern Cotton will be hoping his man recovers from that knock to his ankle in time to face South Africa for that top-of-the-table clash. 

  8. Scotland 39-16 USA

    Despite the 23-point gap, the stats point towards a remarkably close game, in which Scotland just shaded possession but did enjoy much the better territory. Those barnstorming 15 minutes after the break taking the steam out of the Americans.

    Five tries for the Scots, who were 13-6 adrift at half-time. The replacements the difference between an iffy first half and a confident second half.

    And that's our lot. Referee Chris Pollock brings a try-fest of a match to an end and it ended up being a thumping win for the Scots.

    This has been a sublime second-half performance for Scotland. Weir epitomises it with such aggression. He goes through one of the biggest men on the field. It is a reward for some superb work in this half from the forwards.

    Converted try - Weir; Laidlaw con

    Scotland 39-16 USA

    Richie Gray and Josh Strauss make minor breakthroughs, which Matt Scott tries to take advantage of but he's knocked back. There's no stopping Duncan Weir from 3m out, though, as the replacement holds off one would-be tackler to touch down. 

    Greig Laidlaw with the easiest of conversions and if feels like eons ago that the USA were once leading this match.

  13. Scotland 32-16 USA

    Scotland's Alasdair Strokosch has had a busy afternoon, crunching his way to 14 tackles. Remarkably, despite the scoreline the United States still top the metres made charts - and Scotland the tackles made charts.

    Mistakes destroying USA's hopes of a stirring finish, though. Zachary Fenoglio knocking on, gifting Scotland possession in these closing stages.

    Team-mates gather around WP Nel to slap him on the back thanks to his thigh-slappingly good work in the scrum to earn a penalty for his team. The Scots surviving a period of sustained USA pressure. Five minutes remaining...

    America are getting very tired now after working so hard. You have to admire the way they have played. I thought for all the world they were going to get another try.

  16. Scotland 32-16 USA

    USA camped in Scotland's 22 in these last five minutes. The line-out - despite malfunctioning five times - is solid for now. Knowing a penalty is coming their way, Seamus Kelly goes through the gap... Advantage still with the Americans, so is the ball... until Olive Kilifi botches a simple gather. 

  17. Scotland 32-16 USA

    We mentioned earlier that the USA gave away a whopping 15 penalties against Samoa last week, and already they've given away 10 again today.

    That means, across the 150 minutes of World Cup action they've been involved in so far, they've infringed on average once every six minutes.

  18. Scotland 32-16 USA

    USA with a chance to bolster the line-out stats in their favour as AJ MacGinty boots them into the Scottish corner. One successful line-out ticked off. 

    Scotland penalised. USA opt for touch. Another successful line-out and the white shirts have fire in the bellies... tryline looming... Replacement forward Olive Kilifi held up... Referee spots an American shirt straying. Scotland with the put-in at the scrum, 5m from their own line. 

  19. Scotland 32-16 USA

    The United States, who lost four line-outs against Samoa a week ago, have lost a further five out of eight against Scotland today. The set-piece really not working too well for the Americans.

    Matt Scott was on fire last week at Gloucester and he showed superb awareness of where a gap might be. He burst through two weak tackles. He hit it with a lot of pace and reached over. Fantastic bonus point.
