    Sean Maitland

    Clinical from Scotland. The scrum sets the platform. The one-off carries bludgeon Fiji backwards. Pete Horne makes another excellent break. And Sean Maitland capitalises to power home. Excellent ball retention, with the speed of play really hurting Fiji.

  3. Kick-offpublished at 41 mins

    Scotland 21-17 Fiji

    Stuart Hogg gets the second half under way and Fiji fumble. Excellent early field position for Scotland, who have a scrum just inside the away 22.

    Tevita Cavubati has completed his sin bin period and trots back on to rejoin his pack.

    I hope you've enjoyed that breather. The teams are out and we're ready to go again. Very little to choose between the sides.

    Scotland will keep dominating if they keep their discipline and they will grind Fiji down

    This is worth another watch or six. Fijian elan at its finest.

    This season is not even three months old but already there is plenty of material to compile a seriously impressive Finn Russell showreel.

    He’s been producing all manner of tricks, flicks and chip-kicks for Racing 92 in the Top 14 and that pass for Tommy Seymour was something else.

    Firing that spin pass while running at full pace is not an easy skill, but it was judged to perfection for the onrushing Seymour to cruise home.

  9. Half-time Scotland 21-17 Fijipublished at 15:20 Greenwich Mean Time 10 November 2018

    Well, that wasn't a bad half of rugby. As we predicted: chaotic, try-laden, high-tempo and thoroughly engrossing.

    Scotland have had most of the ball and scored two close-range tries through Allan Dell and Pete Horne to go 14-3 up.

    But Fiji are so devastating and can hurt you so quickly when you give them a sniff. Bill Mata blasted over from an overthrown Scottish line-out, then Semi Radradra finished a sumptuous attacking move to put the Pacific Islanders in front.

    Scotland squeezed them back with some powerful close-quarter carrying and a formidable set-piece. Tevita Cavubati then Leone Nakarawa were sin-binned. And with the last play of the half, Tommy Seymour scampered in to send Scotland in to the changing rooms with a slender lead.

    Tommy Seymour

    It was coming. Fiji had to pack some backs into the scrum and in fairness the set-piece held firm.

    An utterly glorious Finn Russell pass swoops into the arms of Tommy Seymour who has a run-in up the right.

    Watch as Edinburgh's Big Bill Mata pounces on a Scottish error to thunder in for Fiji's first try.

  13. Sin-bin Leone Nakarawapublished at 39 mins

    Scotland 14-17 Fiji

    Although he attacked from an onside position, Leone Nakarwa drags the maul down as it motors towards the Fiji whitewash and then lies over the ball.

    He's off for 10 minutes, joining Cavubati in the sin bin. Scotland, two men and two forwards to the good now, take the scrum and unsurprisingly win yet another a penalty.

    Yep, Nel spilled the ball. Referee Andrew Brace warns Dominiko Waqaniburotu that further penalties in this area of the pitch will result in more yellow cards.

    Scotland go for the corner again.

    We're going to the TMO again. WP Nel burrows over but it looks like he's fumbled it forward. Scotland had a penalty advantage in any case.

    Gregor Townsend has spent the past week warning anyone that will listen how dangerous this Fiji side are. Scotland certainly know they’re in a game now.

    There have been plenty of "ooos" and "aaahs" from the Murrayfield crowd after some of the crunching hits going in, and some of the Scots first-up tackling has not been up to scratch.

    Both teams look vulnerable in defence so we can expect more scores.

    Here's another look at Scotland's second try - no doubt about this one.

    No try. Jamie Ritchie is adjudged to have obstructed the Fijian defence as he helped muscle Brown over the whitewash. Fiji survive and clear their lines with the penalty.
