Sione Tuipulotu playing for Scotland against Tonga. This is reminiscent of the time Angus Macdonald played for the Maori against Scotland.
Has anyone contacted Stephen Jones for his views on the matter ?

Scots loosies are bloody good but the rest of the team is either inexperienced or shite so this could be close.

12 Vaea Vaea
Chief-Chief.
Or, Giant Petrified Into A Mountain X 2. Hope he runs faster than that.
What a great name for a lock if not a 12. -

Great prediction.I wouldn’t take anything I write on here too seriously.
Especially sport.
Predictable rout, Tonga were pretty fucked from the get go with eight guys making their debut. Steyn being the first
SouthAfricanScotsman to get four meat pies at Murrayfield was pretty cool though -

I did not take your prediction too seriously either.Well, if the fern archives are still around I did predict David Tua would knock out Shane Cameron in the second round. ( actually a TKO but I’ll still take it )
I don’t think I’ll ever scale those heights again.

Thumping win for Scotland. I think they will finish in the top half of the 6 Nations in 2022.
I wouldn’t get too excited. No one provides false hope like the Scottish Rugby team. Not even the Black Caps in the 90s and 2000s.

I reckon Scotland should’ve won this years 6Ns as they blew both the Wales and Irish tests. They really could’ve won both of them as they dominated the play but lacked a bit of composure.

I haven't watched this game yet. Is it worth watching, or should I just go straight to the highlights clip?
Just watch the highlights
Lost of stoppages in the second half. Tonga didn't offer much resistance.. so you'll see the shitty tackling in the tries
