The Scotland 7s squad will play Samoa tomorrow morning to start the second tournament in the IRB World Series in George, South Africa.

It is a rematch of the Scots' final game in the Dubai tournament last weekend. Samoa beat Scotland 28-19 in the Plate semi-final before going on to lose to Argentina in the final.

"We ran them close last weekend," coach Stephen Gemmell commented about taking on Samoa again. "The players believe we can beat them this time. We've looked at all our opponents, and we know we're capable of winning." The Scots will take on Australia and Tunisia later in the day.

Gemmell added: "We had our final run today. Everyone is fit and available for selection."
