Just totted up my favourite int'l teams in my head and they are Scotland, France, Fiji and the Wallabies. Scotland's position in this ranking is currently negotiable...
56-0. Still pretty poor in large patches. What's Johan Van Graan's contact situation?

Nobody does rugby chaos quite like Tonga. There's no apparent reason for the chaos though, it's just absolutely bonkers.

Late hit no arms. AOC got emptied a phase earlier too. Tonga don't mess around

Jordan had 4 passing options that just evaporated the further he ran... Great break though

That's more like it Magnus! Duhan has become so much better at creating as opposed to just finishing. Top box kick from White and Turner finishes TRY 14-0

TRY Jamie Ritchie. Possession pays off but it wasn't that incisive just wore them down. Bradbury could have backed himself a couple of times. Loved AOC's offload though. Burke con 7-0

Scotland fairly lateral to start, Tonga seem to have an extra defender at times. Holes will come

I love scrums. Adore scrums. Hated all this running about bit, but loved even scrums that didn’t go well.
So, to watch a righteous punishment of gimmickry and treating the scrum as something to be gamed around is, for me, the sort of OT divine chastisement sent to lead a people to repentance.

80 minutes to restore the classic "Scotland fans translate mid autumn into Grand Slam hopes" mindset, but tbh most of those folks are on the other place. Everyone here is pragmatic enough to see we're in the wooden spoon battle with Wales unless something shifts...

Has Jonathan Humphreys been coaching the French forwards? They're living offside and giving penalties away for fun 🫣

Look, I'll be entirely blunt: if I were a team who take scrums seriously, given the opportunity to smash a scrum that's relied on gimmicks, I'm not stopping all night. The backs can bring deckchairs and a good book, bucket of cocktails or something, I'd not stop while there's work still to be done.
