| Who was the Tonga hooker? He was awful. Tonga would have won easily if he could pass to his left. Tupou only touched the ball 3 or 4 times near the Scotland line and had one try disallowed and set up another try.
Far too slow at the play of the ball.

| One hell of a game. Unlucky for Tonga for Scotland really impressed me, I didn't think they'd be that good.

| Best team on the night (barely) won.
Tonga could have won had they had more experienced halves. Foster has talent but he is young and made bad decisions. Too often he tried to break the line himself when should have spread the ball to Tonga's brilliant second rowers and outside backs when there were opportunities. Also Tongan hooker's kicking was poor. Finally, Fisi'iahi made two big blunders.
If the above mentioned can rectify their mistakes, and especially the halves can improve their games, Tonga can still qualify for the QFs. But they have to beat Italy, which won't be easy.
Expect Tonga to beat Cook Islands.
Expect Italy to beat Scotland?
Tonga vs Italy will be awesome. If Tonga win then for and against will matter.

wow thats a massive change of sensationalism to realism well done.
Scotland have just proved they can handle bigger packs so they can give Italy a game and possibly win. Not seen the Cook Islands and tonight has shown anything can happen.

50/50 but I think he tried to flick it back more than a strip. Still Scotland slighter better over full game

| I have to say some great scorelines.
This is what we needed more than anything. Competitive games.
I don't care if the groups have been manufactured or not. These scorelines will keep the fans coming back for more.

| Just shows you having two class half backs and some good destination and spirit can over come the better side on paper. Great World Cup so far

| What a game, loved it. Well done Scotland.
Most incredible game I've seen for years, Tonga should have won easily.
BRILLIANT STUFF.

| Great effort by Scotland. Tonga don't have a clue and just wanted to roll over Scotland and I think they lost an interchange in Massilla so that will have hot their big guys up front and Scotland worked that well.

When you say they don't have a clue what do you mean? It was a pretty close scoreline? I did not see it but the scoreline hardly suggests they were clueless.

| Clearly one team was quicker and more powerful than the other.
This was a victory based on a good attitude, a bit of luck and good leadership round the park by the team leaders (Brough, Wallace and Henderson in particular).
Thoroughly enjoyed it. The way Scotland came back at the end and then held on through the inevitable onslaught should make all members of that team really proud.
