Scotland were unable to end their World Cup campaign on a winning note as they slipped to a heavy 48-0 defeat to Tonga.

Ben Fisher said Scotland simply did not compete well enough after their disappointing 48-0 World Cup loss to Tonga.

Tonga head into Saturday's encounter against Scotland at Browne Park in Rockingham with just 18 players available.

Ireland have been given a boost ahead of their semi-final qualifier against Fiji with news that Michael Platt has been cleared to play.
