BST as usual from me. Austrailias last game potentially, will they make the 80 tonight? Tonga struggling to keep it under 50 tonight I suspect too, though the boks have a 5-3 bench at least

Well done Tonga. Did better than Scotland attack wise!

Tonga was absolutely insane! That was a great match

1st points to Tonga, but 1st try to the boks. Hoping Tonga play to 80!

Their intensity right now is insane! Also hoping they can keep it up!

New to rugby, what was the reason for not giving Red? German TV said indirect head contact? Wasnt it quite direct?
