Recovery will be the key focus for Scotland under-20 as they prepare to take on USA in the World Rugby U20 Trophy final on Wednesday.
The young Scots booked their place in the final with a comprehensive 46-10 win over Japan in another one-sided contest on Friday night.
They scored six tries, with winger Geordie Gwynn scoring twice, while fly-half Andrew McLean contributed 21 points through a try, five conversions and a pair of penalties.

Head coach Kenny Murray was pleased with his side's performance.
He said: "We anticipated it was going to be a tough game. We went out with a clear gameplan to control the speed of the game and slow them down.
"We knew if they got quick ball they are really dangerous, which they showed at the end of the game, so the whole theme was around how we dictate the speed and our physicality.
"I thought the boys were excellent in that part of the game."
Murray insisted recovery, rather than more time on the training pitch, was what his young charges need before Wednesday's final.
"We've got another game to come which is going to be as difficult as this one," Murray said.
"The coaches will do our review on Saturday and preview USA then we'll have a clarity day on Monday, then a captain's run on Tuesday, but the biggest thing now is recovery because that is three games of rugby we've played in 10 days which is a tough ask."
Victory over USA would book Scotland a seat back at next year's World Championship, and for captain Liam McConnell that would be a fitting end to his time in the age-grade set-up.
The back-row - one of Scotland's stand-out performers all tournament - said it would mean "everything" to get his hands on the trophy.
He added: "Especially for the boys who are coming back next year, we watch the [World Championship] highlights on TV and it is where you want to be, so we want to make sure the younger boys will be next year.
"It would be special and give them something to look forward to."
McConnell's team have endured difficult Six Nations campaigns, finishing bottom in three of the past four years.
But the back-row, who is part of the Edinburgh academy set-up, believes they have turned a corner during 2024.
"During the Six Nations, although we didn’t pick up any wins, things were coming on.
"We had a closer game with Wales, two tough home games versus France and England where we played well in patches, we led Italy at half-time and we were in the Ireland game to the end.
"The preparation for this [tournament] went really well over four or five weeks and being in camp has brought us all closer together and then these three wins have us feeling good, but there is one job left."
While acknowledging the win would be a great achievement for his players, Murray knows the significance for Scottish Rugby.
He added: "From Scottish Rugby's perspective we want to be back at the top end of U20 rugby so we've got an opportunity to do that on Wednesday."
