Stuart Hogg says Scotland must be ready to play their biggest game of their lives as they bid to reach the last eight of the World Cup.
Gregor Townsend's team are due to take on Japan in Yokohama on Sunday and a win of at least eight points will take them through to quarter-finals.
Typhoon Hagibis could yet throw a spanner in the works and blow the Dark Blues out of the tournament if World Rugby deems the match is not safe to play and rule it a draw.
He said: "We've had a terrific time in Japan so far. We've had a lot of different experiences. You'll see by Gordy Reid's Instagram and Twitter posts that he's enjoying himself.
"But we came here with a job in hand and that was to win Test matches. We've got the chance to play against the host nation and it doesn't get any bigger than that.
"The focus is on that and making sure we do everything we can to take another step forward.
"Are we the underdogs? We're not bothered what we're branded as.
"They are going to come out of the blocks firing. We have to match them and better them. These are the games as an international rugby player you want to be involved in. I just wish it was Sunday evening now."
