Another World Cup upset on the cards? USA lead Scotland 13-6 at half-time

Scotland are trailing the United States 13-6 at half-time in their World Cup Pool B encounter with a display lacking coherence or discipline.

Vern Cotter made 10 changes from the side which beat Japan 45-10 in Gloucester on Wednesday and the overhauled line-up have struggled to make an impact on the Americans, who lead thanks to a try from prop Tito Lamositele and eight points from fly-half AJ MacGinty.

Scotland’s best chance of a try slipped away when Stuart Hogg passed poorly to Tim Visser when the Harlequins man had a clear run to the line.
