Duhan's the top man as Scots head to France with a flourish

Scotland 33 Georgia 6

For the fourth warm-up match in succession, Gregor Townsend’s side trailed at the break after a couple of penalties from standoff Luka Matkava put the visitors 6-0 up. 

But as was the case in their previous two home matches against Italy and France, the Scots got a grip of proceedings in the second half.

They moved up through the gears when it was needed and went on to make it three wins in four summer Tests after scores from Van der Merwe, Rory Darge, Kyle Steyn and Jack Dempsey.

Scotland winger Van der Merwe was again in fine form and was named Player of the Match.
