This is the hilarious moment Scotland star Gordon Reid tried his luck with Google Translate to learn Japanese so he could "talk to locals" at the Rugby World Cup.
Prop Reid, 32, had some fun during his down time in Japan.
Posting the bizarre clip, Reid captioned it: "Out and about today talking to the locals".

During the two minute footage he tried out some typical Scottish phrases while chatting to his taxi driver in his rough Irvine accent - with some brilliant results.
He tried: "Hi pal, have you been busy the day?"
Again he asked: "What time you on 'til?"
Once more, he opted to type his question into the translator before the driver responded - which also had to be translated - "six o'clock, five o'clock".
A successful translation, he chanced his luck asking "Is there anywhere that sells Irn-Bru?" - but to no avail.
