Tom Jordan is a terrific footballer, wherever you put him.
He's doing all the basics right, but you have to caveat it by saying it's against Tonga. He should absolutely be considered for the 15 jersey in every Test.
Scotland should aim for a performance free of unforced errors every game - that was central to Joe Schmidt's influence in Ireland. Sloppiness and brain fades were not accepted. If Gregor's selections, messaging and coaching could enforce such a mentality on a consistent basis I'm sure his legacy would be enhanced.
Great we’re winning against an underfunded tier two nation once again. This group of players may arguably be the golden generation of Scottish rugby but what have they done to prove that?

The chatter around Townsend is baffling and not too disimilar to the nonsense we heard about Steve Clarke with the round ball. Scottish Rugby, for the vast majority of the 00's and 10's, was the most depressing 10 weekends of the year. Townsend revitalised the game in Scotland and has a winning record which has only been bettered by Lions legend McGeechan. To quote Janet Jackson "You dont know what you got till its gone!"
Tonga full-back William Havili drops a lovely kick in behind the Scotland line for a 50-22, but the hosts defend the lineout well and win possession back.
