Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Scotland versus Japan at Kingsholm. It's just five days since the Cherry Blossoms produced the biggest shock in rugby history and they will be eyeing a second huge upset this afternoon.

The TMO rules that Japan didn't touch down for a consolation score right at the death, and that's the last of the action. Scotland ran away with it in the second half, inspired by the excellent Stuart Hugg and Mark Bennett.

Japan are going through the phases, looking for a morale-boosting try at the end of the game. Maitland intercepts and runs the length of the pitch, thinking he's going to score under the posts, but the ref had already blown for a penalty to Japan.

Japan have folded a little since losing touch of Scotland on the scoreboard. The strain of playing two such massive games in the space of just five days has clearly caught up with them, but credit to Scotland for having the ability to take full advantage.

It's another successful conversion by Laidlaw and the score is up to 45-10.

TRY! It's a rout! Birthday-boy Finn Russell skips out of a tackle and weaves his way across the line under the posts.

The metronomic Laidlaw slots the conversion and this game has gone from tight to a cakewalk in the blink of an eye.

TRY! Mark Bennett muscles his way over the line with three or four defenders hanging off him. That's a bonus point win in the bag, which is huge for Scotland.

Hogg is replaced by Maitland, with the sparkling full-back given a richly-deserved rest.

It's another simple conversion for Laidlaw, who pulls the lead up to 21 points. Even Japan aren't going to be able to come back from here.

TRY! Seymour intercepts a telegraphed pass, as Japan try and force the issue, and the winger runs the length of the pitch to extend the lead.

Vern Cotter doesn't really do smiling. But he'll be smiling on the inside after seeing his left-field pick Hardie score what could be the game-turning try. Credit must go to Hogg for sparking Scotland to life since the break.

It's an easy conversion for Laidlaw, who stretches the lead to 12 points. It's 24-10.

TRY! Scotland keep the ball moving and Mark Bennett breaks the line to score under the posts. That's the try that Scotland really needed!
