Scotland, who recall Price to scrumhalf among their nine changes, are led by Tuipulotu from Inside Centre. Graham and van der Merwe provide plenty of pace on the wings whilst an experienced pack is sphered by the return of Locks, Gilchrist and Cummings to the starting fifteen. 

Scotland played some scintillating rugby this evening. Their first-half blitz, four tries in twelve minutes, put them in prime position as they exploited their man advantage during those early stages of the game. Hastings, who racked up 17 points off the boot, was outstanding whilst Graham was clinical every time he bore down on the try-line. Up front, the pack played well, giving the backs licence to go and strut their creative stuff; they duly did with the artful Jones also very impressive. One concern might be how they let Fiji come back into proceedings either side of half-time, Scotland didn't score a try in-between any of Fiji's and that  momentum swing had Murrayfield temporarily worried. It's a focus they'll need to hold for all 80 minutes in some of their upcoming fixtures.

Hello and welcome to Tribe’s live coverage as Scotland commence their Autumn Nations Series this evening against Fiji at Murrayfield. Gregor Townsend’s Scots are hoping to get into that winning habit throughout November and the first step to that is tonight against a tenacious Fiji. Regardless of the result, this should be an action-packed way to start the Autumn Internationals and I’ll have it all for you here on Tribe as it unfolds. 

SCOTLAND COMMENCE AUTUMN NATIONS SERIES WITH A WIN - A 40-point victory for Scotland as their Autumn starts successfully and stylishly! Eight tries in total; four of them for the sublime Graham whilst Jones took two himself, Rowe and van der Merwe dotting down the others. Fiji kept coming and scored themselves through Armstrong-Ravula, Derenalagi and Ikanivere. However, overall, a comfortable enough opening-Autumn win for The Scots at Murrayfield!

JONES GETS HIS SECOND TRY - A well-worked lineout sees Richardson find Williamson. Dobie takes the ball out, feeding Hastings on the edge of the 22m line. He wedges a wonderful cross-field kick wide right to Jones who calmly lets the ball bounce and then dots it down with ease for his second try tonight!

Tawake, down momentarily, receives some treatment following a clash with Darge.

Just as Fiji were preparing to come back to fifteen men, they get another man sent to the sin-bin! This time, Vota concedes a penalty on halfway and is punished for Fiji's consistent ill-discipline in the form of a yellow card.

Lomani finds Karawalevu who enters the 22. Darge holds him up and Fiji go again, Lomani spinning it out right to Hetet. Isolated, though, he runs into Cummings who, with help from Jones, strips him of the ball at the breakdown, allowing Price to kick clear.

Fiji, always an exciting watch, are aiming to puncture the air of optimism about Scottish rugby by upsetting the hosts here tonight. Price’s opposite number, Lomani, is a sharp conductor of the ball while Fiji also possess a plethora of explosive backs and hard-running forwards. Their physicality will need to be matched by Scotland especially at set-piece times. 

From the scrum, Scotland win a penalty. Hastings's kicks to halfway. Ashman's lineout from the right is worked across the field, Jones and Fagerson involved, as the ball is worked wide to Graham. This time, Fiji are quick to wrap up the winger as Hete brings him down.

Kuruvoli feeds the Fiji scrum. The penalty, though, goes to Scotland as Nasilasilia doesn't hold his bind. Hastings pops the penalty into touch to give The Scots an attacking platform...

JONES GOES CLOSE - Jones does superbly down the left, taking a pass from Jordan and wriggling inside then out of several Fiji attempts to bring him down.  He's into the 22 at speed, fending off Kuruvoli. Despite getting over the try-line in that left-hand corner, the TMO spots that Jones doesn't quite manage to ground the ball and the try does not stand.

TEAM NEWS: Fiji - Mick Byrne has made four changes to the Flying Fijians side that beat Japan 41-17 in the Pacific Nations Cup Final in September. Haereiti Hetet comes into the starting side at loosehead prop for Eroni Mawi. Ratu Leone Rotuisolia replaces Temo Mayanavanua at lock in the only other change to the forward pack. Apisalome Vota comes in for Iosefo Masi at centre, while on the left wing Ponipate Loganimasi replaces Ilaisa Droasese. Kemu Valetini and Waqa Nalaga are in line for potential debuts after being included on the bench. 

UNDERWAY - Fiji take the kick-off with Muntz kicking deep to the edge of the Scottish 22. Rowe calmly catches for the hosts before Hastings clears the ball out into touch to give Fiji an early lineout, on the right.

JONES ADDS SCOTLAND'S FOURTH - Scotland can't stop scoring! Armstrong-Ravula, just beyond the halfway line, plays a blind pass left which Jones reads expertly. The number thirteen then has the speed to get away from the covering Fijian defenders with Jones searing in under the sticks for try number four!

GRAHAM GETS THE SECOND - Immediately, Scotland take advantage! Graham saunters down the right wing, into the 22. There, he brushes off Loganimasi, exchanges passes with Ashman on the right-hand touchline, and bursts into the bottom right-hand corner to score Scotland's second try!

Natave bustles through a few Scottish players as Fiji steam forward. Bearing down on the 22, Williamson appears from nowhere to strip the ball back into Scottish hands and break up Fiji's attack for now.

Hastings, excellent off the tee all evening, converts from 18m out, on the right-hand touchline.

TEAM NEWS: Scotland - Gregor Townsend has made nine changes to the starting side that beat Uruguay 31-19 in July. Pierre Schoeman and Zander Fagerson join Ewan Ashman in the front row. Experienced duo Grant Gilchrist and Scott Cummings join forces at lock, with Max Williamson and Gregor Brown both moving back to the bench. Jack Dempsey's inclusion at No.8 sees Matt Fagerson shift to the blindside in place of Luke Crosbie. Ali Price joins former Glasgow Warriors teammate Adam Hastings in the halves. Sione Tuipulotu comes in for Stafford McDowall at second-five. Darcy Graham slots in on the right wing for Kyle Rowe who moves to fullback in place of Harry Paterson. New Zealand born utility Tom Jordan is now eligible on residency grounds and is in line for a potential debut after being included on the bench. 

Fiji do well to repel Scotland's initial drive as Muntz thumps the ball up-field. It's out into touch, on the right, for a Scottish lineout on the edge of the 22. Ashman's throw-in is spilt by a juggling Salawa so Scotland get the attacking scrum, on the right of the 22.

At the second time of asking, Dobie does feed the scrum. Brown brings the ball out, feeding Dobie who spreads it to Hastings, on the left. Hastings powers up to halfway, releasing Jones who's well tackled by Nalaga in the middle of the field.

Dolokoto's lineout is taken in well by Natave. Charging at the Scotland defence, Natave knocks on, though, giving the hosts a defensive scrum on the edge of their own 22m line, on the right.

Fiji recycle the ball and maintain their attack as Lomani and Muntz make inroads outside the 22. Scotland are then caught offside so Muntz sends another penalty deep into touch on the right...

Given the kicking duties, Armstrong-Ravula doesn't disappoint, calmly converting from 15m out and near the left-hand touchline. The gap is 12!

Dolokoto's throw finds Kuruvoli, at the back of the lineout. Fiji spread the ball from side to side with Kuruvoli then locating Nalaga who's carry up to halfway is halted by Rae's well-made tackle.

SCOTLAND LEAD FIJI AT THE BREAK - Tremendously entertaining fare at Murrayfield sees Scotland leading Fiji by 19 points at the interval! The Fijians were (twice) down to fourteen for large spells of the opening quarter and how Scotland made them pay. Twelve minutes separated all four Scottish tries as Rowe, Graham (twice) and Jones have all crossed. Armstrong-Ravula registered for Fiji after Ashman was sin-binned. Hastings's penalty kept Scotland ticking over but, right on half-time, Fiji got over again through Derenalagi. Can Fiji keep coming back in the second half or will Scotland add another few scores to their tally? Stay with us.

FIJI GET ON THE BOARD - Finally, Fiji's first try arrives! It's really well-taken, too, as Muntz spins a lovely pass wide left to his full-back. Armstrong-Ravula comes inside of his opposite number, Rowe, deftly finishing in the left-hand corner to register Fiji's first points of the evening! 

VAN DER MERWE GETS IN - On the 22m line, on the right, Richardson's throw finds Williamson. Scotland set for a maul before Dobie, cleverly, whisks the ball wide left, at speed. Tuipulotu's sumptuous no-look pass feeds Hastings who helps it on with Jordan dancing through and releasing van der Merwe to his left. van der Merwe makes no mistake with his finish. 

BACK UNDERWAY - Hastings commences the second half, booming a kick down into the Fijian half. Tubuavou gathers and, in turn, kicks up-field from his own 22m line, on the left.

Muntz, 15m out and left of the posts, steers his conversion attempt wide.

Richardson, on the left side of his own 40m line, goes in off his feet at the ruck. Muntz belts the ball into touch on the right...

Ikanivere's lineout throw is well taken in by Nasilasila. However, Scotland swarm all over Fiji at the breakdown with Cummings stealing the ball and marauding forwards into the attacking half. They then win a penalty of their own which Hastings kicks to touch for an attacking lineout on the left edge of the 22.

GRAHAM GETS HIS HATTRICK - Breathing space for Scotland! Jordan and van der Merwe make the yardage down the left. Dobie keeps the move alive, finding Hastings who's layoff to Jones sees the centre release Graham on the right, the winger surges in and under the posts for his third try of the game!

Hastings, 14m out and left of the posts, steers an accurate conversion between the uprights.

Hastings, from 20m out and again right on the right-hand touchline, drags his conversion attempt past the left-hand post and wide.  

Hastings, 12m out and centrally placed, adds the extras.

Hastings, from 17m out and near the left-hand touchline, peerlessly converts as Scotland reach the half-century of points.

Before Price can even feed the scrum, Fiji's pack collapses to the floor. The referee gives another penalty to Scotland which Hastings, without hesitation, sends into touch...

Now, Fiji have an out as they're awarded a defensive penalty with van der Merwe pinged for being offside on the edge of the 22.

Hastings, 10m out and bang central, easily converts.

Armstrong-Ravula weaves around the right-hand touchline, evading Schoeman's attempt to tackle. The Fiji full-back is then put down by Fagerson's well-timed tackle, just inside his own defensive half.

GRAHAM GETS ANOTHER - Scotland are running away with this, already. This time, Hastings takes a penalty quickly, tapping and chipping an inch-perfect kick out to the right-hand side. Graham, searing onto it, grubbers the ball on, past Karawalevu, and accelerates onto his own kick, collecting and dotting down again in that right-hand corner!

Dempsey makes ground with a fine carry up to the 22m line, centrally. Cummings tries to go quickly, grabbing into contact but not releasing the ball at the ruck; that gives Fiji a defensive penalty.

DOBIE DENIED LATE ON - Scotland nearly finish with another try as van der Merwe speeds down the left-hand side, finding Dobie inside who canters in under the posts, unopposed. However, the TMO spots that van der Merwe was marginally in touch and the try is chalked off. That will be that.

Hastings, 18m out and right by the touchline, lands a terrific conversion.

Price puts in but this time Scotland's pack falls to the floor in a heap. The penalty goes Fiji's way and Muntz hammers it into touch...

Richardson fires the lineout in. Fagerson rises and takes. Dobie finds Hastings centrally who tries to release Graham, again, on the right, This time, he's tackled well by Loganimasi on halfway.

Price, under pressure from a closing-in Lomani, box-kick the ball clear into Scotland's attacking half. Vota returns with velocity as Graham takes his kick and scarpers up past halfway, hauling his side back up the field with an immense carry.

Muntz finds touch on the left of halfway with his penalty kick up-field.
