Scotland Under-20s to face Tonga again

SCOTLAND Under-20s will face Tonga for the second time inside a week when they contest the ninth- place semi-final of the IRB Junior World Championships in Argentina on Thursday.

Scotland will be looking for a repeat of Sunday's 27-3 pool C victory against the Tongans.

After the win, Scotland U20 head coach, Eamon John, said: "We were delighted with the win because there was a lot of pressure on us, on both teams, having lost to South Africa and Australia. So to get the result and the win was really, really pleasing."

Captain Stuart McInally, added: "I was very happy with the way we played. We showed some real ambition in attack and defence. I am really proud of our guys, we showed some real character."

Scotland will meet Tonga at the Club Atletico Estudiantes, Paran (kick-off 7.15pm BST), and the team will be named tomorrow.

The winner will be guaranteed a place in next year's championships and will play either Ireland or Samoa in the final.
