  1. Try review

    Scotland 14-0 Tonga

    Max Williamson appears to have got the ball down for Scotland's third try.

    Scott Cummings certainly thinks so.

  2. Get Involved

    Never a red card. I understand the need to protect players but red carding every rugby incident is ruining the game we love.

    Sean

    What a farce that the yellow was upgraded. What on earth has this great game become???

    Ian

    The game is gone if that’s a red card. He just goes over the top then grabs his leg a bit.

  3. Scotland 14-0 Tonga

    Scotland scrum-half Ben White chucks the ball away, allowing Tonga to hack the ball downfield.

    Scotland benefit from broken field though, racing back to the fringes of Tonga's 22 before winning a penalty for a late tackle of George Turner.

    That looked a bit like a a shoulder charge from Lotu Inisi, but it's just a penalty.

  4. 'Handling has been good'

    Scotland 14-0 Tonga

    Chris Paterson
    Former Scotland international on BBC Scotland

    The handling has been good actually.

    The pitch will be really wet, really heavy, for the amount of rain we've had.

    With all that possession the skillsets have been good so far.

  5. Scotland 14-0 Tonga

    Scotland are away again through the galloping Tom Jordan, but a penalty goes against him after he's hauled to ground.

  6. Get Involved

    Scotland 14-0 Tonga

    There is no denying that Townsend has had a significant impact on Scottish rugby. This impact, however, appears to be diminishing. Chaotic rugby played at pace cannot be your only game-plan. Scotland lack solid game management on and off the field. Vern Cotton understood the importance of solid defence before anything else. It's a shame he wasn't given more time to develop Scotland. GT was given the job too soon, he needed to prove himself more at domestic level before he stepped up.

    Converted try SCOTLAND 14-0 Tonga

    George Turner

    Scotland carve Tonga to shreds and George Turner scores on his 50th cap.

    Quick ball is at the heart of the move and Turner finishes off a flowing move.

    Fergus Burke slots the conversion off the tee.

    George Turner scores for ScotlandSNS

  8. Scotland 7-0 Tonga

    Just before the restart, referee Luc Ramos announces that Semisi Paea's yellow card has been upgraded to a 20-minute red card.

  9. 'A really good try'

    Scotland 7-0 Tonga

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on Sportsound

    That's what Scotland need to do.

    From those deeper positions try and get those line breaks.

    If you play in front of them the whole time, they're going come at you.

    That's a really good try from Scotland

  10. converted try

    Converted try SCOTLAND 7-0 Tonga

    Jamie Ritchie

    It's been coming.

    Andy Onyeama-Christie started it off by pinching a Tongan lineout and then carried Scotland to within touching distance of the try line.

    Scotland go through a few more phases before Jamie Ritchie crashes over.

    The former captain salutes to the crowd in celebration before Fergus Burke adds the extras.

  11. Scotland 0-0 Tonga

    Pockets of Murrayfield think Sione Tuipulotu has scored the opening try of the game, but the Scotland captain is pinged for a double movement.

    I think referee Luc Ramos has got that one wrong...

  12. Scotland 0-0 Tonga

    Scotland haven't quite clicked in attack yet.

    Fergus Burke is held up over the line, but there's a penalty to fall back on.

    The hosts tap and go...

  13. 'Should be a red'

    Scotland 0-0 Tonga

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on Sportsound

    That should be a red card.

    It shouldn't be but the new law says it should be.

  14. Sin-bin Semisi Paea (Tonga)

    Scotland 0-0 Tonga

    It's a yellow card for the Tongan flanker and it could be upgraded to a 20-minute red card.

    We'll keep you updated on that.

  15. Scotland 0-0 Tonga

    The officials are checking a dangerous clearout on Scotland's Semisi Paea.

    Tonga could be down to 14 here...

  16. Scotland 0-0 Tonga

    Scotland captain Sione Tuipulotu has Tongan heritage and gets his team on the front foot with a powerful carry.

    However, the attack subsequently loses momentum and Kyle Rowe is bundled into touch.

  17. Scotland 0-0 Tonga

    Scotland force a penalty and Fergus Burke kicks to the corner.

    A solid start for the hosts.

  18. 'Get your basics right and a comfortable win'

    Scotland v Tonga 0-0

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on Sportsound

    Get your basics right.

    Get your shape and attack and defence right and it will be a comfortable win.

  19. Kick-off

    Scotland 0-0 Tonga

    Scotland fly-half Fergus Burke gets us up and running with a towering kick.

  20. Scotland v Tonga (13:40)

    Scotland face down The Sipi Tau, which a colleague describes as "way better than the haka".

    We're just about ready to go...
