Scotland 56-0 Tonga

Scotland v Tonga Match Reports

Scotland scored eight tries in a record 56-0 victory over an ill-disciplined Tonga side at Murrayfield. The visitors suffered an early blow when Semisi Paea was shown a 20-minute red card for a dangerous clear-out. Scotland took advantage, with Jamie Ritchie, George Turner and Max Williamson all crossing before Tonga were restored to full strength. Another yellow for Tonga just before the break compounded their problems, as the hosts led 21-0 at half-time. Tonga's indiscipline continued into the second half as they lost another two men to the sin-bin. Scotland added five further tries as the game opened up in the final quarter – Duhan van der Merwe grabbed one, while Ewan Ashman and George Horne each scored twice to wrap up a dominant autumn finale.
