Eight-try Scotland sweep aside ill-disciplined Tonga

Eight-try Scotland sweep aside ill-disciplined Tonga

Scotland concluded their Autumn Nations Series with an eight-try victory over a woefully ill-disciplined and out-gunned Tonga at Murrayfield.

Jamie Ritchie, George Turner on his 50th cap and Max Williamson all scored in the opening half while Tonga were down to 14 men.

Murrayfield had to wait another 37 minutes before the floodgates finally opened.

Duhan van der Merwe, Ewan Ashman, a double from George Horne and then another from Ashman completed the rout.

Each of the scores were converted by Fergus Burke and Horne himself.

Scotland took a while to get there but a 50-pointer was a pleasing performance in the wake of the bitter disappointment of the loss to Argentina a week ago.

It was all made easier for them by Tonga's card-fest. The visitors had not played a Test match since August and rustiness coupled with cards of both colours - one red and three yellows - made their task impossible.

When their energy levels dropped late on, they were taken to the cleaners.
