Burke with a smirk!

With the last kick we hit the 100 point margin. Watson and Kolade up the left again, and Ryan Burke goes over. Urwin’s conversion makes it 101-0.

FT

Big win!

Over 100 points for the second game in a row. 224 points in five days.

Scotland were fantastic for large spells, but again some things to work on with some spells where it didn’t go our way.

Thank you for following the Scottish Rugby Match Centre today. We’ll see you on Friday night as we take on Japan U20 at Hive Stadium (kick off 7:45pm).

79

Mark!

Scotland using the trial law to full effect today as the kick off goes into the 22. Hocking marks and hoofs it way down to around 35m from Hong Kong’s line, and the visitors will throw in from there.

Kolade over!!!

That’s more like it!

Loads of good carries in there. Watson, McAlpine, Yule and Hart before Kolade stretches and just reaches the line under the posts. Urwin converts.

48

Injury pause

With Hong Kong attacking, an excellent decision from our referee to halt play with one of their players suffering a head injury and being trapped in a ruck. With safety paramount, that was the correct call to halt play so quickly.

We’ll restart with a Hong Kong scrum.

HT

Ready to go again

The teams are back out, and Urwin is about to kick off the second half.

Hong Kong’s best moment so far and Lacey breaks down the right. He kicks ahead but Doyle drops back and calls the mark.

His kick goes out just inside the visitors’ half.

One of the law trials happening at this tournament. Hong Kong kick off deep into our 22 and we call the mark.
