Quote MessageTo me that's a swinging arm, high degree of danger, catches him in the jaw. For me that should be a red card.

Sin-bin - Vinaya Hambosi (Fiji)published at 62 mins
Scotland 21-12 Fiji
The Fiji wing goes for 10 minutes in the sin bin. He's probably lucky not to be sent off.
He swings his arm with a lot of force and makes heavy contact as Rory Sutherland dived on the ball in his own 22.

There's a review ongoing for a high shot on Rory Sutherland from Vinaya Hambosi.
A swinging arm...

Huge defensive set from Fiji!
Jack Dempsey splinters off the maul and goes close, and Albert Tuisue jackals over the ball and wins a big, big, penalty.

It's now the Fiji penalties are mounting. They're up to 10 and Scotland come back for another advantage as Blair Kinghorn has the ball ripped from his clutches.
It's nudged into the corner again. Fiji must be close to a sin-bin here.

Fiji just hold up Ewan Ashman over the line!
Both Darcy Graham and Richie Gray made sniping breaks to get Scotland on the front foot.
Referee Nic Berry goes back for a Scotland penalty.

Jack Dempsey immediately makes an impact as he gets over the ball and wins his side a penalty on halfway.
Scotland's discipline has been much better in this half.

Scotland make some changes. Rory Sutherland, Jack Dempsey, and Ben White are all on for the final half hour.

Duhan van der Merwe
Scotland are over.
The maul does the damage, and then they go wide. Chris Harris flings a huge miss-pass out to Van der Merwe, who is unstoppable from close range.
Blair Kinghorn curls in the touchline conversion. It's a two-score game now for Scotland.

Blair Kinghorn is on at 10 for Scotland, incidentally. After Adam Hastings was forced off after that thumping hit.
Scotland nudge the ball into Fiji's 22 after a maul penalty.

Much better from Scotland.
Duhan van der Merwe gathers a high, hanging kick. It's worked wide as Hogg feeds Darcy Graham.
The winger skips up the touchline by Vinaya Hambosi hauls him into touch.

Fiji go so close!
It's whipped out to the right wing, but the final pass to Levani Botia is forward. Scotland survive.
It was a better defensive set, though. No easy way through. Then, Scotland get the scrum penalty.

Former Scotland captain on Amazon Prime VideoQuote MessageThat is an unbelievable tackle. Big man against small man, and great timing. You will not see a bigger hit this autumn.

Ouch. Adam Hastings throws a dummy and is smashed into next week by Ratu Leone Rotuisolia.
The Scotland fly-half is being taken off, presumably for an head injury check.
Fiji mean business, with Sam Matavesi winning the penalty and they are up to the Scotland line...

Second half is under way.
Can Scotland improve? Or will it be a first ever Murrayfield win for Fiji?

Tom English
BBC Scotland's chief sports writerThe Fiji back-row has been terrific, carrying in a way that the Scottish back-row are not. Mata has carried for 48 metres, his counterpart Matt Fagerson for 20m. Jamie Ritchie and Hamish Watson are 19m combined. Levani Botia, the Fiji openside, is more than double that number all on his own.
Scotland better wake up quickly or else the conversation is going to turn rapidly to the future of Gregor Townsend.

Speaking of territory, Fiji have had 63% of it in that first half.
63%!!

Edinburgh head coach on Amazon Prime VideoQuote MessageThe frustrating thing for Gregor Townsend is that it's unforced errors giving penalties away. Those penalties are giving Fiji territory to capitalise on.
