This bonus-point victory over Tonga in Nice breathed new life into the tournament for Gregor Townsend\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>After a two-week lay-off on the back of defeat to South Africa, Scotland were composed and clinical, scoring seven tries and winning comfortably in the end.<\/p>\n<p>They are now into the guts of this pool stage and face a six-day turnaround before they face Romania in Lille next Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>Another five points will surely follow, before all roads then lead to Paris and the prospect of what could be a winner-takes-all clash with Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody doubts the enormity of that challenge. On the basis of what Ireland showed in their thunderous victory over the Springboks at the weekend, it still looks a mighty tall order for Scotland.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/19\/75785167-12555457-image-a-11_1695578731418.jpg\" height=\"449\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Scotland claimed their first win of the 2023 Rugby World Cup, scoring seven tries to beat Tonga 45-17<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/19\/75785379-12555457-image-a-19_1695578899464.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Full-back Blair Kinghorn (pictured) wrapped up a bonus point win for the Scots who currently sit third in Pool D<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/19\/75785321-12555457-image-a-21_1695578917333.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Tonga ran in two tries during the match but suffered their second defeat of the tournament after being beaten by Ireland<\/p>\n<p>But all they can do is stay in the fight and at least give themselves a puncher\u2019s chance heading into that clash with the Irish on October 7 at the Stade de France.<\/p>\n<p>Scotland took care of business yesterday and won with minimal fuss. That\u2019s all that can be asked of them in this most fiendishly tight and difficult Pool B.<\/p>\n<p>You almost need a maths degree to crunch all of the numbers and work out the various permutations that could split Scotland, South Africa and Ireland in the final shake-up.<\/p>\n<p>But five points against Tonga was a necessity and what will hearten Townsend was the fact that Finn Russell and Scotland\u2019s backline finally clicked into gear.<\/p>\n<p>Seven tries scored by seven different players spoke of a team finally beginning to find some fluency in this tournament.<\/p>\n<p>After barely firing a shot against the Boks a fortnight ago, Russell was much more influential here at the Stade de Nice.<\/p>\n<p>His range of passing was excellent, but what also stood out was his kicking from hand. There were a few pinpoint kicks, one of them a 50-22, which helped Scotland keep their heel pressed firmly on Tonga\u2019s throat.<\/p>\n<p>Duhan van der Merwe was far more prominent than he had been against South Africa, as was fellow winger Kyle Steyn, with both players scoring a try apiece.<\/p>\n<p>The only real sour note from a Scottish perspective was the fact captain Jamie Ritchie failed a HIA after a ridiculous high shot from Tonga winger Afusipa Taumaepeau. More on that later.<\/p>\n<p>Ritchie would probably have been rested and rotated against Romania next weekend, but a failed HIA means he now couldn\u2019t play in any case due to the 12-day stand-down period.<\/p>\n<p>But, nonetheless, seven tries and five points represented a solid night\u2019s work for Townsend and his players as they now prepare to leave the French Riviera and head north to Lille.<\/p>\n<p>After watching Ireland and South Africa slug it out in an epic contest in Paris on Saturday night, Townsend and his players came into this match with a greater degree of clarity around their own position in Pool B.<\/p>\n<p>Ireland\u2019s victory over the Springboks removed any doubt that Scotland needed bonus-point wins over Tonga and Romania next week to tee themselves up for a crack at the Irish in their final game.<\/p>\n<p>They started brightly and thought they had scored the opening try after just 90 seconds when Blair Kinghorn gave chase to his own kick.<\/p>\n<p>Racing from inside his own half, Kinghorn turned on the gas to outstrip the Tongan defence but he couldn\u2019t quite gather the ball cleanly and knocked on just inches short of the try-line.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/19\/75785329-12555457-image-a-34_1695581334278.jpg\" height=\"397\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Tonga side performed the Sipi Tau before the match, which was played at the Allianz Rivera Stadium in Nice<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/19\/75785385-12555457-image-a-24_1695578932409.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Duhan van de Merwe (left) scored his first try of the tournament, crossing the line in the first half<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/19\/75786039-12555457-image-a-35_1695581490370.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Solomone Kata (pictured) smiled as he crossed the whitewash to get Tonga&#8217;s first try of the game<\/p>\n<p>But Scotland\u2019s early promise found tangible reward on five minutes when a thunderous maul rumbled from just inside Tonga\u2019s 22 towards the line.<\/p>\n<p>Hooker George Turner dotted down eventually for Scotland\u2019s first try of the tournament and it was a sign that the set-piece was functioning in a way that it never did against South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Russell slotted the conversion, before a penalty from his opposite number William Havili got Tonga on the scoreboard at 7-3.<\/p>\n<p>Just as had been the case in their game against Ireland, Tonga were flying in at the breakdown and making some huge hits.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not often you see Van der Merwe being smashed backwards in contact, but the Tongan behemoths were putting on quite a display of power.<\/p>\n<p>But, on 20 minutes, they showed that there\u2019s more to their game than just muscle and grunt by scoring a try from a lovely, flowing team move.<\/p>\n<p>Charles Piutau, one of four former All Blacks in the Tonga\u2019s starting XV, was heavily involved, as was fly-half Havili, with winger Solomone Kota finishing the move off.<\/p>\n<p>That would have been a shock to Scotland\u2019s system and certainly a test of nerve, but their response was swift.<\/p>\n<p>Just five minutes later, a lovely team move of their own saw Russell, Sione Tuipulotu and Kinghorn work the space out wide for Van der Merwe.<\/p>\n<p>There was no stopping Scotland\u2019s giant winger from such close range. Rusell\u2019s conversion was just wide, but Scotland were back in front nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>Steyn then got in on the act by scoring Scotland\u2019s third try on the half-hour mark as Townsend\u2019s side began to pull clear.<\/p>\n<p>One of four changes to the team as he replaced Darcy Graham, Glasgow Warriors captain Steyn showed good pace and footwork to burst through a gap in the Tongan defence.<\/p>\n<p>Steyn scored four tries in a rout of Tonga at Murrayfield a couple of years ago and this was another impressive performance from a man who continues to apply pressure on Graham and Van der Merwe for the two spots on the wings.<\/p>\n<p>Tonga\u2019s discipline was beginning to let them down. Things went from bad to worse when winger Afusipa Taumaepeau was sent to the bin on 34 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>It was an appalling tackle from Taumaepeau as he led with his shoulder and caught Scotland captain Ritchie on the chin. Referee Karl Dickson ought to have shown him a straight red.<\/p>\n<p>Ritchie went off for a HIA, which he subsequently failed, whilst the bunker review system inexplicably failed to upgrade Taumaepeau\u2019s card from yellow to red.<\/p>\n<p>It was a ridiculous decision from bunker officials and yet another blot on World Rugby\u2019s disciplinary copybook in this tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Tonga are a team who pride themselves on physicality and making big hits, but they were pushing that beyond the limit at times yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Late in the second half, a yellow card was upgraded to red when Vaea Fifita was binned for a high shot on Russell.<\/p>\n<p>Scotland secured the bonus point on the cusp of half-time when Rory Darge powered over from close range \u2013 ensuring they would take a maximum five-point haul from this clash in Nice.<\/p>\n<p>Leading 24-10 at the break against a Tongan side who were beginning to look decidedly ragged and ill-disciplined, Scotland were served a warning at the start of the second half.<\/p>\n<p>Tonga\u2019s captain and tighthead Ben Tameifuna carried powerfully and crashed over the line, with Havili\u2019s conversion bringing them to within striking distance again at 24-17.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/19\/75785393-12555457-image-a-27_1695578952095.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ben Tameifuna (middle) scored the second for Tonga, driving over just after half-time<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/19\/75785317-12555457-image-a-36_1695581600686.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Darcy Graham (pictured) crossed over in the 82nd minute to help add to the score<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/19\/75785323-12555457-image-a-37_1695581628355.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>But it was Gregor Townsend&#8217;s side who had more pace and energy and ultimately clinched the victory, securing a vital bonus point win\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Scotland had too much pace and energy for their opponents as the game went on thanks to a bench which always looked like it was designed to take the game away from Tonga.<\/p>\n<p>George Horne added his usual zest and zip at scrum-half when he replaced Ben White and deserved his try when he went over on 53 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The try owed much to the power of Van der Merwe, who had broken free from several tackles before the ball was fed to Horne.<\/p>\n<p>Kinghorn and Darcy Graham rounded off the scoring to add a little extra gloss to the scoreline. A raucous Caledonian crowd inside the Stade de Nice roared their approval.<\/p>\n<p>In a game they knew they had to win, and win well, Scotland did what as asked of them.
