Scotland Rugby want to 'smash' Test against Japan

Captain Stuart Hogg thrilled another capacity crowd at BT Murrayfield as he became Scotland’s leading try-scorer of all time in a 29-20 win over spirited Japan

The Exeter full-back had moved level with Iain Smith and Tony Stanger on 24 tries for the national team when he scored a double against South Africa last weekend, and his first-half touchdown against the Brave Blossoms took him clear on his own on a day when he also became the Scots’ fourth most capped player.

The victory means Gregor Townsend’s side have won three out of four Tests in their Autumn Nations Series and ended a largely progressive 2021 on a high note.

TRY! France 24-18 New Zealand (Ioane 51’)

Two tries in quick succession from the All Blacks - you can never write them off!

It came after a quick turnover, with Whitelock instrumental in stealing in at the breakdown.

New Zealand went right as Smith whipped the ball into Ioane’s hands. He spotted the gap inside Villiere and motored to the line - that was a stunning turn of speed.

Barrett adds the kick from a central position.

France 24-11 New Zealand

49 mins: Mauvaka makes an error as he goes to close down Smith before the ball was out of the ruck.

But France get away with it as New Zealand give away a penalty themselves after they had gained 40 metres or so.

Jaminet sends France back into the New Zealand half.
