WE MUST DISH OUT A TONGA LASHING

Ewan: Final rout a necessity

- BY GRAEME MACPHERSON

EWAN ASHMAN reckons there is nothing else for it but to thump Tonga as he claimed: No one can make us feel worse than we already do.

A pitiful second-half showing against Argentina last weekend followed Scotland failing to end a now 33-match winless hoodoo at the hands of the All Blacks.

It will see the autumn series go down as disastrous regardless of what happens this Sunday.

But Ashman - who bagged two tries before the Pumas came from 21-0 down to win 33-24 - insists the whole squad are determined to at least end the year on a high.
