  1. Toolis down with concussionpublished at 21:02 British Summer Time 6 September 2019

    Scotland 17-9 Georgia

    This is a bit of a worrying sight for Scotland. Second-row Ben Toolis, who replaced Jonny Gray at half-time, is off with a head-knock. With doubts over Gray's fitness and Sam Skinner out, that's a tad concerning.

    Scott Cummings has been excellent tonight mind. Grant Stewart is on.

    George Horne bizarrely chooses to put in a chip kick off that line-out, and Georgia gather comfortably. That was a strange call from a promising position.

    I won't bother even describing the last few error-strewn phases. Scotland have a line-out just inside Georgia 22...

    I don’t like Mexican waves but I might have to join in. This is so boring.

    I've already started, Peter.

    ANOTHER scrum penalty goes Georgia's way. It looked like Zander Fagerson lost his footing there. Fagerson then trudges off and Simon Berghan comes on.

    Zurab Dzneladze is back on for Georgia, they have fifteen again. A few phases bring more errors. This is awful.

    Sigh, a forward pass from George Horne to Zander Fagerson. The Murrayfield crowd start a Mexican wave out of sheer boredom.

    It's Georgian winger Zurab Dzneladze who's in the bin, by the way.

    Meanwhile, Scotland's defence, which has been solid all night, holds firm and Georgia get done for crossing. Scotland line-out coming up after they kick to touch...

    Tedo Abzhandadze misses his first penalty of the night after Scotland are again penalised at the scrum. They get another shortly after though and have a line-out just outside the Scotland 22.

    Amidst the madness, George Horne has come on for Ali Price and Gordon Reid is off for Allan Dell in the front row.

    Really well-crafted try, they were patient through the phases. Hastings held onto the ball instead of going out wide. It allowed the continuity to pull the Georgians out of the way to make way for Johnston to go through.

    Georgia are down to 14 men after Darcy Graham was taken out off the ball in the build up to that score. We'll hopefully be able to identify who shortly!

    Try- Scotland 17-9 Georgiapublished at 49 mins

    Sam Johnson

    Really good patience shown by Scotland, which hasn't really been evident so far. After Blade Thomson was stopped short, the big men had a few shots. Ultimately Ali Price pinged it to Adam Hastings, who popped to Johnson to stride over from close range for his third Scotland try.

    Hastings converts.

    Scotland go right, then left and Blade Thomson steps inside, 5 metres short...

    A side entry by the visitors gives Scotland the penalty. And they're attacking in the Georgia half. Adam Hastings dances through a half-gap, they're getting closer....

    A lovely kick by Georgia pins Scotland back into their own corner. Jamie Ritchie is going off, looks like an HIA. Maguns Bradbury, who missed out on World Cup selection, replaces him.

    The crowd are going to want their money back if Scotland don’t up the ante. So many errors.

    Darcy Graham is something else. A diminutive little figure, but some strength. He smashes Georgian back-row Giorgi Tkhilaishvili and Scotland get the line-out.

    But the hosts can't gather and Georgia get the scrum. So sloppy.

    Ben Toolis is on for Jonny Gray in the second-row, not sure whether that's an injury or not. Meanwhile, Simon Berghan is pinged for a high shot. Bit harsh.

    We need to be getting to the edges more, getting to the 13 channel and the boys on the wing, this is where we are going to get over the gain line.
