Stuart McInally has warned his Scotland team-mates to be careful in their chase for a bonus point against Samoa.

He said: “We obviously watched the Japan game and we’ve done the numbers. We know the implications and what it could mean for us.

“But we just have to go out and win the game first and foremost.

“In my experience, if you start chasing anything else before the game starts then you can get into a bit of trouble.

“So we’ll go out, try to win the game and, if we’re in a position in the last 20 minutes to go for that bonus point, then of course we’re aware of what we have to do.

“We have to focus on beating Samoa because that’s a big challenge. They are a really good side who put a lot of points on Russia and didn’t concede a try. So we’re very aware of the threat they have.

“You see Japan beating Ireland and it reminds you that anyone can beat anyone.”
