can't see past a new zealand win, they look to have come together as a team, possibly riled by the defections. in the game against samoa i wasn't too impressed by some of the tonga defence. if NZ get plenty of ball they'll win by about 20 points after a tough opening quarter

The Tron (Hamilton) is buzzing.....plenty of Tongan Flags here and they may well outnumber the Kiwis...they're certainly making more noise. It's a shame that the Footballers are also playing today in Wellington in a World Cup eliminator, but I reckon this is going to be THE #1 SPORTING EVENT here this weekend....Can't wait for KO!!

Atmosphere incredible, hoping the rugby matches up

15 minutes in and it's an even game so far. Tonga are slightly on top if anything.

Tonga can get home on pure emotion from here.

Amazing game. With all the negativity that so often surrounds RL, it’s great to see games like this that shows what a great sport it can be.

Oh, and screw Premier Sports. Serves them right missing the best game of the tournament for some soccer international they would have had about four people watching, two of those waiting for the RL, and the third just having to forgot to turn the tv off.

Plenty dropping premier sports after this

Shocking from Premier Sports.

What a result for Tonga

It's time to make this fixture a yearly contest.

what if Fifita wasn't available due to state of origin duty??

WTF are they thinking?

Busy day today, so set a couple of hours aside first thing this morning to watch this match, knowing it would most likely be a belter.

Watched what I can on YouTube, fantastic result.



I've been subscribed for a long time but had thought about cancelling after the World Cup. Now it's a definite. I believe they're losing NRL anyway.

FU Premier Sports. Go Lebanon!
