    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.

  5. 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.

    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.

    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.

  14. Postpublished at 49 mins

    Ewan Ashman is another lucky player - it's another head on head tackle. He's already been booked, as well.

    The hooker is immediately replaced by Dylan Richardson. No wonder, he really should have seen red.

  15. Postpublished at 48 mins

    Scotland 29-10 Fiji

    Ali Price goes flying as he tries to tackle a Fijian attacker.

    The replay shows it was head on head, and Price's body position is terribly upright.

    He's got lucky there, avoiding a yellow card at the very least.

    Scotland try to work another move off the line-out, but the first pass of the move is forward.

    The game has gone flat and it feels like a long time since Scotland looked dominant.

  17. Postpublished at 46 mins

    Scotland 29-10 Fiji

    Scotland win a line-out and a midfield move sees Jack Dempsey break through. It comes from the soft hands of Sione Tuipulotu.

    He's known for his power but he can unlock a defence like Finn Russell.

  18. Postpublished at 45 mins

    Scotland 29-10 Fiji

    Duhan van der Merwe steals the ball and almost breaks down the pitch, but he's been done by a tap tackle!

    Almost a 29th try for Scotland.

    We're also hearing that Kyle Rowe was actually replaced due to a hamstring injury. Hopefully not a bad one.

    Scotland are getting marched back the pitch by this Fijian drive. They're now on the edge of their own 22m as we enter the 20th phase of this attack.

  20. Postpublished at 42 mins

    Scotland 29-10 Fiji

    A short box-kick from Ali Price results in Fiji winning the ball in Scotland's territory.

    It's not been the best audition for the number nine shirt for the former British & Irish Lion.
