A minutes silence is currently being observed in Murrayfield, in recognition of Armistice Day.

Both teams are out on the field! All we're waiting for is the anthems and then we are underway.

Good afternoon to everyone and welcome to our coverage of this November international between Scotland and Japan from Murrayfield. Scotland come into the game with a strong side named, one which includes plenty of international experience. The indications being this match against relatively unknown quantity Japan is not being taken lightly by Scott Johnson. Captain Kelly Brown is included in a strong back row along with Alasdair Strokosch and and David Denton. Scrum-half and vice captain Greig Laidlaw will be another key man but it will be interesting to keep an eye on the tussle he has with his opposite number Fumiaki Tanaka. Tanaka plays his club rugby in New Zealand with the Hurricanes and is the smallest man in Super Rugby at 5"5. His talent is undeniable however and he would be one of the sparks Japan will look to have any hope of causing a major international upset.

I think this will be a high scoring game for scotland. I also think they will use there power to break through the Japanese defence
