15:00 Chris Cusiter is nailed by Heath Davis. Perfectly timed tackle and Seasonal Rugby players pile in and win the turnover. Play continues, but Cusiter is down. The trainers come on as play continues. They pick Cusiter up and carry him off. He's not fit to continue. Mike Blair subs on for him. Cusiter's game is over. BOOM!
29.15 Johnnie Beattie landed awkwardly in that tackle. The slo-mo replay shows some unnatural extension of the knee there. He has to limp off. They have no replacement #8 on the bench, so Alistair Kellock comes on in his place.
33:00 SR XV have dominated the game so far. Over 60% of territory and possession. Scotland have done well to restrict them to those two very early tries. Callum Laing with the ball there, and he's clearly enjoying his work. He thumps off the attempted tackle of Joe Ansbro and he's through. He's not quick enough here. The Scots have him covered. Laing passes to Chung. Good pass, but that slips right through Chung's hands and another chance goes begging for the SR XV.
Half Time Possession SR XV: 64% Territory SR XV: 62% Running Metres: 285 (vs. 111) Cambridge having a very weak first half. Weaver fairly quiet, but making it count when he gets the ball. Farny, Callum and Eds having great first halves.
Ansbro's has a Max Evans-esque shocker so far. Scots running out of subs to bring on too, seeing as Max Evans is on the bench and he's only a last resort.
44:45 20m in SR XV territory. Luke Pilgrim tackled by Richie Gray and the forwards pile in. Scots with a sniff of a turnover here as Kellock comes in to try and steal them a gain. Verigotta charges in and barges Kellock off the ruck. Kellock's hurt, but play continues. Ames fills in at scrum half and dive-passes away to James. James pushes past Rory Lamont and passes to Al Farnsworth. Farnsworth making no progress and he passes to Verigotta to gain some yards up the middle. Verigotta charges into Sean Lamont and thrusts him into the ground. A ruck forms and Moray Lowe turns Verigotta. Turnover...
... First time the Scots have put hand to ball for a while, and Paterson immediately kicks for territory. Line out 20m from the SR XV try line. Kellock still down and receiving treatment, but the ref tells them to play on. Morris throws a very deep line out ball to Michael Chung. The Scots aren't ready for this. Chung in space and Pilgrim and Ames in support. Chung draws in a defender and a good pass away to Ames. He's broken through the line and the Scottish forwards aren't interested in chasing this. Ames is steered into the corner by Chris Paterson, but he can't prevent the try. Tough conversion from the corner. Ames misses by a mile to the right of the posts. SR XV 19 - 0 Scotland Ewan Murray replaces the injured Alistair Kellock. This prompts a rearrangement of the scrum. Hines will go to the back row, but basically the Scottish scrum is fucked.
51.45 Penalty to the Scots. 20m out. They clearly want to get on the scoreboard, but really this is a baffling decision to go for the 3 points when they'll still be looking for 3 tries with it. Nevertheless, Paterson takes it. Good contact and the Scots are on the board. SR XV 19 - 3 Scotland
