It seems Scotland didn't read the script.

Everyone's favourite second team, Japan, had to fetch up at Gloucester this afternoon for their second Pool B game, just four days after shocking the rugby world with their 34-32 win over South Africa. Unfortunately it was too much, too soon as a fresh Scotland, playing their first World Cup game, won comfortably, 45-10. Amanaki Gafi scored the first try of the game after 14 minutes to cancel out two Greig Laidlaw penalties. The scrum-half's boot provided the Scots with a 12-7 half-time lead, before Vern Cotter's men ran riot after the break. John Hardie, Tommy Seymour, Mark Bennett (2) and Finn Russell all crossed the try-line to earn a bonus point win against an exhausted Japan. It would have been a wider margin if not for this incredible tackle by full-back Ayumu Goromaru on Tommy Seymour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXnNu51Go9U&feature=youtu.be
