00:00 Rugby World Cup, Pooleby victory for Scotland here at Stadion E.

00:03 Seven tries in the bag, Tonga beaten.

00:06 And George Turner with the first of them.

00:09 Yeah, and a forward back that had some questions asked

00:11 after they were all beaten against South Africa.

00:13 So they respond in that first half,

00:14 but Tonga never out of it, so dangerous in open field.

00:18 And Kata gets over in the corner.

00:20 They were up leading in that first half,

00:22 and there were some few concerned Scottish supporters

00:25 in the stadium.

00:26 Well, they didn't last too long.

00:27 Scotland back in front, Blair Kinghorn releasing two

00:31 on van der Merwe for the first of two tries.

00:33 Yeah, it was just really good execution

00:35 from the Scottish squad from 1 to 15.

00:38 They're pushing it through the hands,

00:39 and the big man getting over.

00:41 Again, really impressive, and the combination's

00:43 really starting to work.

00:44 So many options for Finn Russell.

00:46 Really, the talisman pulling the strings,

00:48 and he had options on both sides.

00:50 And it was just too much for the Tongan defence.

00:52 Kyle Staines striding in for Scotland's second try

00:55 in four first half minutes to move them on to three tries.

01:01 And the bonus point secured by Rory Darge

01:03 in slightly unorthodox fashion here.

01:05 Well, this will be a 50-meter run in,

01:06 and he tells the grandkids in a few years, World Cup try.

01:09 Knocked down, but then keeps it in hand, drives for the line.

01:12 Tonga didn't quit.

01:13 They're a proud nation.

01:14 They kept the hits coming.

01:15 And how about their skipper?

01:16 Just put the team on his back and bumbling over the line.

01:19 Outstanding effort from the big man.

01:23 Four Scotsmen left sprawling by the bulk of Ben Tameafuna.

01:28 And that roused Tonga.

01:29 They were back within a converted score at that point, 24-17.

01:32 But Scotland quickly quelled that revival.

01:35 Dujuan Fernandes-Merbat setting up George Horn

01:37 with some real power play.

01:39 Now, your MasterCard player of the match

01:41 just dancing out of tackles, looking

01:43 after the substitute George Horn on the sideline.

01:47 Good finish from him.

01:48 And a nice feature for the Scottish Referee here.

01:50 A lot of the subs, a lot of the impact players,

01:52 were on the field and had big impact.

01:54 And there were options all over the park.

01:56 And they could have scored in the first minute,

01:57 but he finished it off in the end.

01:59 Blair Kinghorn getting over the line.

02:00 Another Finn Russell assist.

02:02 Another Blair Kinghorn try.

02:04 And then this, a spectacular--

02:06 it's like we hear him scaring away

02:07 to wrap things up a couple of minutes into the red.

02:10 Darcy Graham going from 60.

02:12 Just gorgeous support lines.

02:14 He said the man from Hoyk is in Nice.

02:16 And he's backed himself all the way.

02:19 And the Scottish fans could finally relax.

02:21 Bonus points secured. Big victory over Tonga here in the pool.
