    Scotland aren't done. They want to go for the corner from this penalty, and Adam Hastings put them there.

    The Fijians are tiring. Can Scotland find another try to add some more gloss to the scoreline?

  2. Player of the Match - Darcy Grahampublished at 76 mins

    Scotland 50-17 Fiji

    No real surprise.

    After four tries, that briefly had him level as Scotland men's all-time top try-scorer, Graham is named player of the match.

    There's no doubt about it - he is back.

    Nope. Jones propels himself further forward from his knees - textbook double movement and a fair decision.

    Of course, Jones has already scored today. He was just being greedy.

  4. Is it another Scotland try..?published at 75 mins

    Scotland 50-17 Fiji

    The Scots are trying to finish with a flourish and Huw Jones wants a try of his own.

    He scampers by one defender, then another, but he's brought down short. He stretches for the line and dots down but the referee says no try - double movement.

    However, we're going to the TMO...

    Duhan van der Merwe

    Van der Merwe is once again Scotland's all-time top try-scorer - but that try is allllll about Adam Hastings.

    The Scotland back-move holds up slightly, but Hastings offloads behind his back to put Huw Jones through a gap.

    Jones sends the ball out to Van der Merwe, who scurries over.

    It's Champagne Rugby™. That offload will be replayed time and time again.

    Former Scotland back row on Sportsound

    A man leaving this game with points is Tom Jordan.

    Thrust into the game earlier than we expected in his first cap. He came on at fullback, he brings something different.

    He comes into the line, gets his hands free, always on the defensive edge.

    Scotland threaten to breakaway up the right hand side through Huw Jones but as he gets over the halfway line, he's tackled and losses possession.

    It was Jack Dempsey who Gregor Brown replaced, by the way.

    Gregor Brown coming on. In the last 12-18 months, what a huge progression there's been in his career. He's been outstanding for Glasgow.

    Another young guy who's done really well coming through.

    Fiji are building momentum in their latest attack, but it's stopped in its tracks by a brilliant turnover from D'Arcy Rae.

    Meanwhile, Darcy Graham is replaced for an HIA. No try record for him, yet. Stafford McDowall comes on.

    I'd get Darge and Tuipulotu off, just to protect them for next week.

    These next 17 minutes will still be physical and you don't want them picking up knocks in a game they've now won.

    Darcy Graham

    Graham is trying to break Scotland's try-record - he's up to 28! That's him level with Duhan van der Merwe.

    It was another solid attacking phase from Scotland, with the breakthrough coming from a Huw Jones chip-and-chase which he then gathered.

    Dylan Richardson charged for the line, was held short, but Jamie Dobie found Graham on a little switch ball.

  12. Changes for both sidespublished at 59 mins

    Scotland 36-17 Fiji

    Three changes for Fiji, with Livai Natave, Jone Koroiduadua and Kemu Valetini all on. That's two of the props, perhaps in response to Scotland's scrum starting to dominate.

    Max Williamson and D'Arcy Rae are also on for the Scots, replacing Scott Cummings and Zander Fagerson.

    There's been a few late, high hits on Sione Tuipulotu. Not looked at, so far.

    Scotland are enjoying a good spell on the ball though, for the first time in a long time.

    They're into the 22m, and they have the advantage... but when the whistle blows, it's given as a Fiji penalty.

  14. Postpublished at 56 mins

    Scotland 36-17 Fiji

    And Scotland win the scrum penalty, with the backs pouring in to give their front row encouraging little pats on the head.

    As good as Scotland have occasionally been in attack, if they make this number of mistakes against South Africa next week, they'll be in real trouble.

  15. Postpublished at 55 mins

    Scotland 36-17 Fiji

    Dylan Richardson's throw is squint and he's pinged. Fiji throw on Scotland's 5m line.

    Every good thing Scotland do, they immediately make an error.

    However, they react well to turn over the Fiji throw, winning the penalty at the maul.

    Fiji almost score from the restart!

    Jack Dempsey tries to fly-kick the restart, misses the ball and it bounces nicely for Vuate Karawalevu who looks to hare in...

    But Tom Jordan is there to stop him! A try-saving tackle!

    Darcy Graham

    That's more like it! That's much more like it!

    Duhan van der Merwe made yards on the left, and Scotland went through the hands coming the other way.

    Adam Hastings, Tom Jordan and Huw Jones all timed their passes to perfection and Graham shrugged off one tackle to go over for his hat-trick.

    Another successful kick from Hastings.

    Jamie Dobie and Adam Hastings combine, with the latter bursting through.. but he drops it in the tackle.

    Can that spark Scotland into life?

    There's another few changes for the hosts. Jamie Dobie is on, as is Rory Sutherland.

    They replace Ali Price and Pierre Schoeman.

    Tevita Ikanivere

    Fiji have done it again!

    They work a short throw back to Ikanivere, and the hooker runs two-on-one against Darcy Graham, sells the dummy, and skips in.

    Poor defence from Graham, and extremely poor from Scotland in general in the last half hour.
