🔍 Overview

Scotland wrap up their Quilter Nations Series campaign with a clash against the ever-entertaining Tonga, in what promises to be a physical and fast-paced finale at Murrayfield. Gregor Townsend’s side will be aiming to finish their autumn on a high after facing the USA, New Zealand, and Argentina earlier in the month.

This fixture also marks Tonga’s first visit to Edinburgh since 2021, when Kyle Steyn scored four tries in a 60–14 Scottish win. The two sides last met at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, where Scotland again ran out comfortable 45–17 winners in Nice.

Scotland will likely look to give opportunities to emerging players for this match, while maintaining a core of experience, with high hopes for the likes of forward duo Liam McConnell and Harri Morris, who have been turning heads already this year.

🧠 One to watch: Kyle Steyn – the Glasgow winger has a prolific record against Tonga and will relish another chance to shine.

🧠 One to watch: Patrick Pellegrini - fly-half who's instrumental in Tonga’s attacking structure, showing composure, creativity, and game management.
