I guess 2 years without singing Flower of Scotland gets you quite emotional…

Sure as hell looked like a knock on (or even two knock ons) to me...

That was a clear knock-on by the Scottish prop reaching for the ball, clearly hit his fingertips.

Is it Tichtheid that’s been banging on about McLean?

Two tries off first phase, attack coach will be happy with that

And another. Nice line from Steyn. The kind of thing George North used to do for fun against us.

I don’t know why but he’s kind of passed me by a bit. He has looked superb today

Crying shame about the state of Tonga's state of prep, hopefully they are able to make a better fist of it in the second half and take something out of the game.

McLean has been superb. No other word for it. Steyn has looked very good too. Kinghorn a mixed bag at 10.

Regarding the knock-on that wasn’t, I was surprised it wasn’t ruled out, but the decision was probably right. It went backwards off Schoeman and then hit Ritchie’s shoulder.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

Has it been mentioned if Watson is injured or if its a tactical switch?

He's not played since the Lions through injury so hopefully it's just easing him back in

Thats what I'm assuming but just want that nagging doubt quashed.

Kinghorn’s concentration has gone, it’s the thing that has been holding him back since his breakthrough

I think there is an element of that but even when we were all over them we were giving away too many stupid penalties. It’s really dumb

Harley, for all his experience has a brutal habit of spinning into poor positions in the tackle.

I was going to say histrionics with the excessive spinning in the air.

But then he’s gone off, so perhaps not.

Kinghorn at 10 has been a miss for me, he has pretty much just shovelled the ball on and not threatened the line at all. Looking very ordinary against a limited Tongan side doesnt give any confidence he could do anything against a better side. Plus you cant leave that many points out there from kicks against a decent side and expect to win.

He’s been a bit meh. But given the circumstances he did his job really - 1st and 2nd choice 10’s unavailable and very young guys coming through so he filled the hole

I completely disagree on Kinghorn, he missed a couple of pots at goal but he was kicking from the touch line
He shovelled it on when that was the call but his quick hands opened the defence and the kick for Steyn’s first try (I think) was gorgeous off the cuff unstructured stuff, if it had been Finn the guy who has a hardon for him on here would be raging
