Scotland v Fiji

FT

Quarter-final secured!!!

A 29-15 win over Fiji secures a quarter-final for Scotland, a first since 2002! Next Saturday's 12pm kick off against Canada at Sandy Park, Exeter will decide who wins the group, and who our last-eight opponents will be. We'll see you back on the Scottish Rugby match centre for that one. Bye for now.

80

Knock-on

A good defence at the maul from Fiji and there's a knock on when it goes to ground. Fiji scrum five metres out as the clock drifts into the red.

79

Just a penalty

Benefit of the doubt given to Fiji, just a penalty. "Have you seen how fast our second row is?!" says Rachel Malcolm jokingly. A kick into the left corner.

79

Another Fiji yellow

Nailolo, who has been excellent off the bench for Fiji, now sees a yellow for a deliberate knock-on. TMO checking if there was cover, potential penalty try here as Clarke tried to find Donaldson on the left wing...

78

McGhie into touch, sub at 9

Orr breaks down the left and tries to offload, but it goes to ground and McGhie can only dive on it into touch. Fiji lineout deep in their 22. Brebner-Holden will be replaced by Rhea Clarke for the final moments.

76

Ferrie on

Adelle Ferrie replaces Sarah Bonar after the try.

76

Fiji in

Fiji get their third from close range through Karalaini Naisewa. Scotland 29-15 Fiji

75

Another penalty

Scotland steal the lineout but then immediately concede another penalty. This time Fijiana tap and go

74

Fiji scrum pen

Fiji win the penalty at the scrum. They kick into the left corner.

72

FANTASTIC TACKLE FROM FRAN!!

WOW! Fiji steal it back and break up the left, and Lomani looks a dead cert for the corner, but McGhie comes from absolutely nowhere and hits her into touch, causing a knock-on in the process. Scotland scrum way back on our own 5m line, but far better than conceding a try.

71

Touch found

Fiji kick to touch just outside their 22.

70

Chances on both wings

Rollie breaks down the left and is felled on Fiji's 22, then it goes to the right where Lloyd is tackled into touch. The ball came into Scottish hands via a second ruck turnover of the game from Rollie; not bad for a full-back! Fiji lineout around 10m from their line.

67

Cleared

A couple of phases and then Thomson finds touch on our 10m line.

66

20-minute red card

Tawake's yellow upgraded to a 20-minute red card. She won't be back on, but Fiji will be able to replace her in 11 minutes.

66

Scotland survive; triple sub

Yep, a knock on given. Scotland scrum five metres from our line. Meanwhile, Elis Martin, Emma Wassell and Lisa Thomson are replaced by Molly Wright, Eva Donaldson and Beth Blacklock.

66

Fiji in for a third?

Scotland hold them off for as long as they can, but eventually Nakoci on the right wing finds the line. But the TMO has jumped in, thinking there's a knock-on in the build up...

63

Another penalty

Fiji kick into the left corner after another Scotland infringement.

63

Not rolling

Cockburn not rolling after the tackle. Fiji tap and go from our 22.

60

ORR BLIMEY!!!

Scotland identify a mismatch down the right as Orr is opposite a forward. She steps round her, accelerates to the right corner, and then round the last defender and over. Nelson with perhaps her toughest conversion of the day, and she absolutely nails it. Scotland 29-10 Fiji.

58

Out on the full again

Another Fiji kick that goes out on the full. Scotland lineout just inside Fiji's half.

57

TMO check

A TMO check here as Elis Martin took a big hit in the build-up to that score.

57

Tawake to the bin

A second Fijian yellow of the game, this time for Bitila Tawake for a high contact.

51

Double swap

Alex Stewart and Anne Young on for Rachel McLachlan and Leah Bartlett.

56

MCGHIE HER THE BALL, AND SHE WILL SCORE!!!!

A FIFTH try of this World Cup for McGhie! The maul after the lineout was brought down close, and a couple of phases later Rollie finds McGhie on the left wing to step inside the last tackler and score. Scotland 22-10 Fiji

55

Off feet

Better from Scotland. It's been all Fiji so far in the second half. Lloyd fields a kick and it goes all the way from right to left via the backs to McGhie, who finds space. Fiji then go off their feet as they counter-ruck. Scotland kick to around 10m out on the left.

53

Ball trapped

Ball trapped in the ruck with Fiji taking it in, so they'll get the scrum on their 22.

51

Excellent score from Fiji

Two excellent offloads from Fiji and Manuoalo Komaitai is in under the posts. But a fantastic charge-down from McGhie stops the conversion going over. Scotland 17-10 Fiji

49

Not straight

Throw is squint from Fiji, we'll have the scrum on our 22 now.

48

Another rip on the ground

This time it's Martin deemed to rip the ball from a tackled player. Fiji kick the penalty out on our 22.

47

Good exit

Nelson exits to around 25m from our line, Fiji lineout there.

46

Good defensive effort

Scotland escape again as Fiji make it back to the line but the blue wall holds firm and the ball is knocked forward. Scottish scrum 10m from our line.

44

Held up!

Fiji reach the line, but a combination of Bartlett and Malcolm hold it up! Goal line dropout for Scotland.

42

Clarke comes off

The games is over for Clarke, she's replaced by Lisa Cockburn. Fiji opt for the scrum from the penalty, 10m from our line.

42

Injury break

Fiji break up the left and win the penalty deep in our half. The game is currently paused as Elliann Clarke receives treatment.

41

Back underway!

COME ON SCOTLAND!

HT

Scotland up by 12

Fiji pinch the lineout and kick it out. Three tries sees us 17-5 up at the break!

40

Jackal from Rollie

Martin steals the lineout, but then Fiji win the penalty and run it back from their own line all the way to halfway. But then Rollie is over the ball at the ruck and wins the jackal penalty. We'll now throw in on Fiji's 22 after a hectic phase of play.

38

50:22!

Brilliant. Brebner-Holden finds Thomson from the scrum, who turns and hoofs it towards the blind side. It takes one bounce and goes out just inside Fiji's 22, and we'll get the lineout there.

37

Great pressure

Big hits in quick succession from Brebner-Holden, Malcolm and Gallagher, and it pays off as Fiji knock on. Scotland scrum on our 10m line.

37

Gallagher spills

Scotland kick and Fiji do the same, and Gallagher spills it forward as it comes down from the skies. Fiji scrum just inside our half.

34

LLOYD ON THE BREAK!

Counter attack at it's absolute finest! The ball pops out the back of a Fiji ruck and Orr is onto it in milliseconds. She's brought down but Scotland recycle quickly to the right, and Lloyd pins her ears back and finds the line. Nelson converts. Scotland 17-5 Fiji

32

Fiji break but gift the penalty

Daunimoala through the middle again and chips over Rollie, but the full-back recovers and then Daunimoala hits her on the ground. Our penalty finds touch on our own 22.

30

Scrum pen!

A much-needed momentum shifter from Scotland as the scrum penalty is won. Thomson finds touch around 30m from Fiji's line.

29

Kicked dead

Chloe Rollie's kick through goes on and on, and runs dead. Fiji opt for the scrum on the halfway line.

27

Scotland lineout

Fiji clear their lines to halfway, Scottish lineout there.

25

Fiji in

An initial break up the middle from Nunia Daunimoala, and Loraini Senivutu runs it home up the right. Scotland 10-5 Fiji

24

Offside

Martin deemed offside as Fiji clear their lines, but the kick to touch is kept in by Nelson. Scotland run it back, but then Fiji steal it on the deck and now half it on their own 10.

22

Bartlett almost in!

So close for Bartlett! Fiji steal the lineout but then the loosehead prop rips it free and goes for the left corner. She tries to find Bonar on her inside but it goes forward. Fiji scrum on their 5m line.

20

Out on the full

A couple of kicks each and then Fiji find touch on the full. Scottish throw-in just outside Fiji's 22.

17

Jumping across

Malcolm penalised for jumping across the lineout. Fiji now throwing in again, this time a metre or so inside our half.

16

A steal apiece

Lineout stolen, but then Clarke gets it back on the ground. Scotland down the left and Lloyd is tackled into touch. Fiji lineout just outside their 22.

15

Cross-field kick to touch

Fiji try the kick to the right wing but it trickles out. Scotland lineout on halfway.

14

Gallagher again!

Gallagher with a second jackal penalty won in 14 minutes, but Nelson's kick doesn't find touch. Fiji running it back and currently on the halfway line.

13

Scotland knock-on

Miscommunication between Leah Bartlett and Elliann Clarke and the former's pass to the latter is dropped. Fiji scrum towards their right wing, around 30 metres from our line.

10

SIMPLE FOR RHONA!

The easiest try Rhona Lloyd will ever score. The scrum is solid, and we go down the blind side on the right. Leia Brebner-Holden finds Helen Nelson, who fixes the last defender and passes to Lloyd less than a metre out to finish in the corner. Scotland 10-0 Fiji.

9

Matarugu carded

Vika Matarugu carded for a shoulder-to-head hit on Clarke. The bunker will have a look at it too. Scotland opt for the scrum from the penalty, just five metres out.

9

TMO

Scotland away to kick the ball into the right corner after another penalty, but the TMO intervenes. We're going to look at a dangerous Fiji tackle on Elliann Clarke.

7

High tackle

Scotland's attack halted as play comes too close to a Fiji player receiving treatment, but we were playing advantage for a high tackle. We kick into the left corner.

6

Gallagher jackal!

Trademark Evie G that! Scotland try to hold up two Fijian ball carriers with no success, but Gallagher releases the second attacker and goes straight onto the ball when the tackle is complete, winning the jackal penalty. We're just outside Fiji's 22 with the lineout.

4

Late rip

Elliann Clarke with the rip, but the tackle was already completed when she took the ball. Fiji find touch just inside our half.

3

McGhie in minutes again!!!!

This girl doesn't mess about! Three halves of rugby in this World Cup, and three lightning quick tries. Scotland's backs go from right to left and Emma Orr kicks through, and Francesca McGhie hacks it on and dives on it over the line. Scotland 5-0 Fiji.

2

No roll

Sarah Bonar pinged for not rolling away. Fiji kick to the skies but Scotland regather in their own half.

1

Here we go!

COME ON SCOTLAND!!!!
