    Canada 3-8 Scotland

    A horrible moment for Allan Dell. The Scotland prop is taken out off the ball by opposite number Noah Barker and his right knee is hyper-extended.

    Barker is yellow carded and Scotland kick to the corner.

    Shane O'Leary

    A good response from the hosts who put together a few phases for the first time in the match.

    On the back-foot, Scotland concede a penalty on their own 22m line and Shane O'Leary knocks over the kick to get Canada up and running.

    Try! Canada 0-8 Scotlandpublished at 9 mins

    Byron McGuigan

    Scotland's early pressure is rewarded with the game's first try.

    Already the Scottish scrum looks on top. The first-phase move is not pretty and the ball goes to ground but James Lang, making his debut, collects the ball and demonstrates great vision and execution to whip a long pass to Byron McGuigan who coasts over in the corner.

    Sam Hidalgo-Clune's conversion illustrates the strong wind in the air. He starts his kick way wide of the post and although it curls in towards the target it sails just wide.

    Canada 0-3 Scotland

    Scotland are enjoying all the possession and territory in these opening exchanges.

    From a scrum on the 22m Ruaridh Jackson carries to the line and dinks a clever little grubber towards the goal-line. Sam Hidalgo-Clyne looks like he might win the race but the bounce doesn't aid him and he knocks on.

    Scrum-half Sam Hidalgo-Clyne makes no mistake with the kick in front of the posts and the Scots move in front.

  6. 'A tricky game to win'published at 3 min

    Canada 0-0 Scotland

    John Beattie says in commentary that the sparse crowd, the looming weather conditions and the changes to the team will make this "a tricky game to win" for Scotland.

    However, from a line-out on halfway the Scots move it wide and Blair Kinghorn burst into the line from full-back.

    Some big carries, notably from Fraser Brown, pushes Scotland towards the Canadian line and the hosts infringe at the breakdown to concede a penalty in front of the posts.

    I reckon the singers may have been affected by the pre-match nerves. A few bum notes in the national anthems.

    Let's hope the players can put their own nerves to one side to deliver us an exciting match.

    Blair Kinghorn gets us underway in the Commonwealth Stadium.

    Scotland’s record on the road needs a hell of a lot of improving, but it would be a gargantuan shock if they struggled tonight. Sure, four years ago, they panted and wheezed their way over the winning line in Toronto, but this Canada team surely can’t trouble Scotland in anything like the same way. Their last 20 Tests have produced just four victories against Chile, Brazil, Spain and Chile again. They’ve lost to, among others, Uruguay three times, USA twice and Brazil. Experience tells you to be cautious about predicting routine Scotland wins, but this one has to be very comfortable for Gregor Townsend’s team.

  11. Gilchrist hails Cockerill influencepublished at 02:02 British Summer Time 10 June 2018

    Canada v Scotland (KO 0210)

    In the absence of Scotland captain John Barclay and tour skipper Stuart McInally, Grant Gilchrist leads Scotland in Edmonton.

    It's been a long road back to the captaincy for the Edinburgh lock. He was named as Scotland captain by Vern Cotter when the Kiwi took over in 2014, but a desperate run of injuries saw him fall out of the international picture.

    He has been a player reborn this season, however, and Gilchrist praised the impact of Edinburgh head coach Richard Cockerill.

    "Cockers has had a big impact on me," he said.

    "There was a full reset in pre-season. Whether he was just poking the bear or not, I don't know, but it worked and I knew I had to prove myself from nothing. It was brilliant, refreshing.

    "I'm not the sort of person who wants to be held in any kind of esteem in any case. That was what he was being told by other people. He wasn't being told it by me. I just said, 'No problem, I'll go to work and prove to you what I'm about'."

  12. Adam looks to add to Hastings family folklorepublished at 01:58 British Summer Time 10 June 2018

    Canada v Scotland (KO 0210)

    "I'm just a very proud parent right now. I'm a very, very happy dad."

    Those are the words of Scotland legend Gavin Hastings, whose son Adam could make his Scotland debut off the bench in Edmonton.

    "I've been there and done it myself so I know a bit about what he's going through. It's a great moment for all of the family," Hastings Snr continued.

    "It's something he's had to work at. Back in my day I tried not to put too much pressure on myself and that's what I would say to Adam. You don't need to be the hero. You just need to ease your way into it."

  15. Glasgow ace gunning for Scotspublished at 01:46 British Summer Time 10 June 2018

    Canada v Scotland (KO 0210)

    There’s at least one familiar face in the Canada team and a very familiar face at that.

    DTH van der Merwe captains the side, having started a second spell at Glasgow Warriors earlier this year.

    Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend was in charge of Glasgow when Van der Merwe scored a try in Warriors’ 2015 Pro12 final win over Munster.

    Fly-half Shane O’Leary plays with Ealing Trailfinders while prop Jake Ilnicki is with another of England’s Championship sides, Yorkshire Carnegie, and flanker Matt Heaton is attached to National League One side Darlington Mowden.

    Full-back Theo Sauder could make his full international debut off the bench.

    After taking on Scotland, Kingsley Jones’ side will play Russia and the United States over the following two weekends.

    Welcome to the Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. Muggy weather out here. Possible thunderstorms later on. There was a tornado warming earlier, but we’re happily tornado-free. Not that I’ve ever seen a tornado or would know what one looked like.

    Anyway, Canada v Scotland. Here’s the cover of the programme featuring Tommy Seymour, Huw Jones and Sean Maitland who are probably asleep in their bed at home at the moment. We’ll be here for the duration, though. More soon...

  18. Easy like Sunday morning for experimental Scots?published at 01:31 British Summer Time 10 June 2018

    Canada v Scotland (KO 0210)

    Good morning to all you rugby fans out there, and you must be hardcore rugby fans if you are tuning in at this hour!

    Or perhaps you are winding down after a big night out, or are joining us from beyond the UK. Wherever you are, it's great to have you with us.

    So what to make of this clash in Edmonton today? Canada certainly do not represent one of international rugby's toughest challenges but the Scots will want to lay down a marker for the rest of the summer tour - which also includes trips to face the USA and Argentina - with a good performance and victory.

    It was something of a roller coaster Six Nations for Scotland. A crushing defeat to Wales in Cardiff, terrific back-to-back home wins over France and England followed by defeat to Ireland in Dublin and a somewhat fortuitous victory against Italy in Rome to seal a third place finish.

    Gregor Townsend has left several front-line stars at home, including Finn Russell, Greig Laidlaw, Hamish Watson and Jonny Gray. So can those fringe players given their opportunity today stake a claim for the autumn Tests and beyond?
