What channel is Scotland v Tonga Rugby World Cup 2023 match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Scotland v Tonga in a Rugby World Cup 2023 match, including TV details and more.
Qualification from this group was always going to be tough for the Scots. An opening weekend loss to South Africa hampered those chances even further, and they now rely on both the outcome of South Africa and Ireland, and their own performance against Ireland.
To even have a chance to pick up on any slip ups from the two aforementioned sides, they’ll need to beat Tonga with a bonus point.
Finn Russell will be joyed to have an opponent they can hopefully open up and run through. They should beat Tonga and claim a bonus point win against Romania, setting up a mouthwatering final pool game against Ireland.
It’s a shame for Tonga that, with a newly minted backline stacked with talent, their world cup preparations have been woefully inadequate having not faced a singled ‘Tier 1’ nation.
Their cohesion isn’t there and after being swept aside 59-16 by Ireland, even if Scotland have a bad day, it may not be enough for the Tongans to claim a scalp.

Scotland v Tonga key player to watch
Finn Russell (Scotland)
A predictable choice, but as mentioned, Tonga is a side that Russell and his colleagues will be able to carve their way through in a way that was impossible to do so against South Africa.
Tonga will be rough and intent on rushing Scotland, but having already faced the Boks it’ll be a step down. With time and space on the ball, this is a chance for Russell and his side to rebuild whatever confidence they lost after their opening game.
