Rugby World Cup 23 : Scotland notch up crucial win to keep their hopes alive

 


Scotland kept their Rugby World Cup campaign alive with a bonus-point 45-17 victory over Tonga in their clash in Nice on Sunday in Pool B


The win however has come at a cost too with captain Jamie Ritchie forced off in the first half following a blow to the head in a tackle from Tongan winger Afusipa Taumoepeau, who got away with a mild yellow card . 


 Scotland used the width of the field and space left by some poor Tonga defending as their wingers showed good form 


Tonga put in some tough tackles , but also showed  their attacking instincts with tries through Solomone Kata and giant prop Ben Tameifuna.


This was a very big  win for  Scotland as a slip up here would have jeopardized their quarter final chances as they had started with a loss to South Africa.  Now their clash with Ireland becomes massive for their further progress in the tournament.
