Not been warned yet.
Yellow was for a cynical foul, but as yet the team hasn’t received a warning

Loving how low the japanese get in the scrum (without collapsing) scotland is trying their best but going nowhere.

What the fuck is going on with these japanese???

Logically the scots should pull away any moment but the japanese are staying in touch. Just hope they can keep it up after the short turn around.
