Scotland overcame a first-half scare to beat Fiji 28-12 at Murrayfield on Saturday, outscoring their visitors by four tries to two in a tough, physical contest.

George Turner, Adam Hastings, Duhan van der Merwe and Ben White dotted down for the home team with Hastings adding two conversions and his replacement Blair Kinghorn the other pair.

Fiji’s points all came in an impressive first-half showing, from Setariki Tuicuvu and debutant lock Ratu Leone Rotuisolia with a solitary conversion from Vilimoni Botitu.

Scotland’s superior organisation and fitness proved decisive but they had to weather an early onslaught that suggested with more preparation Fiji might have come closer to an upset. They had just days to prepare after only assembling at the start of the week.

France go for the corner, it’s ballsy!

They win it through Flament, now they drive.

But it’s spilt, penalty once again, Jalibert kicks to touch for another stab at the lineout. Immense pressure on Australia.

Up went Ollivon, but suddenly it’s out and loose, Australia survive!

Peraud whips the ball wide and France are suddenly alive.

Taofifenua like a truck there, then recycled by Dupont.

There’s a gap for Alldritt to burrow home, but the Wallabies hold. Tension here!
