Laidlaw kicks to touch and Scotland are into the quarter finals! What a match!!

Frantic stuff now as Samoa try and rescue this but they knock on, to the relief of Scotland fans everywhere. Time almost up...

TRY SAMOA! The game that keeps on giving as Matu'u forces his way over. The conversion is good for the bonus point. Scotland 36-33 Samoa !

Heroic Scotland defence as Samoa close to inches of the line. They have yet another penalty.

Samoa have yet to visit the Scotland 22 in the second half and venture forward to put that right. But Scotland recover the ball and Maitland is forced to touch down. Scott off for Horne.

Laidlaw converts his own try to make it Scotland 36-26 Samoa

TRY SCOTLAND! This time there’s no doubt as Laidlaw jinks from the base of the scrum and reaches over to score!

TRY SCOTLAND? Nel looks to have gone over between the posts and that should clinch it… TMO again and it looks like a tremendous tackle to hold him up. Scotland still with the penalty.

Scotland look set to go over in the corner but Russell’s pass is poor and the ball is spilt again. Scotland get lucky with the bounce and win it back.

Bad news for Hogg who limps off shaking his head. On comes Sean Lamont for his 100th cap. Scotland have another penalty and they go for the corner to kill things off.

TEN MINUTES REMAINING! Scotland with another penalty and again they go for the corner.

A poor option from Russell, who tries to kick through and loses the ball. End to end stuff now!

Japanese players and fans will be watching the clock with interest. This game still totally in the balance.

Scotland still vulnerable as Williams takes Samoa up to half way before Samoa lose the ball.

Scotland beginning to put some phases together but a handling error lets Samoa off the hook again.

A collectors’ item as Laidlaw misses a very kickable penalty. Nerves beginning to tell?

And yet another kickable penalty as Swinson comes on for Jonny Gray.
