2023 RWC Buildup, Squads, Fixtures 'etc'

Well to simplify things, you should not be able to hold the ball while off feet, he was off his feet, he had 3 seconds to place the ball, not get back up and play on

Generally in the 'knee down' situation, the ref will call 'tackle, release!'.

I don't think for a second that the Tongan tackler released because he had a knee down, they just flat out didn't make a successful tackle.

Big man rumbling!!!!!

I'm not sure about this Scottish defense

just saw the replay of the yellow. That should have been upgraded. He drove up and into the Scottish player. Terrible terrible call by the bunker.

He was dropping slightly, but nothing too major. The Tongan tackler went up into the tackle either way.

Finn Russell in a nutshell, woeful clearance kick, fall off tackle, Tonga try. No wonder Townsend dropped him before.

Give Tonga another month together and they are winning this.

Mercurial they call it, brilliant one match, hopeless the next four

And some people will try and say that he is the best 10 in the world.

Line out wasn't straight yet scrum scotland

That was not a straight line out from Scotland but the ref didn't give it. He gave a knock on against Tonga.

And Scotland get a try from the next phase of play.
