| Very dangerous side from Tonga. Size and bags of skill in the pack and back line.
If we continue to keep coughing up cheap ball then we will struggle to hold them.
Key for this is discipline both ball in hand, ie not coughing up cheap ball, and also on the penalty count.
They are very raw despite the talent and the halves/hookers are weak links in the context of that team.
We contain them early and frustrate them and play with discipline we will be fine.

| Remember also that England were pretty average in the 2013 WC prior to the semi final. Despite defeat I couldnt believe how well England played that day, particularly considering the performances that had preceded it.

| I think we will win with something in hand.
I can't believe that our completion rate will be as bad as against PNG where with low completion we still won comfortably.
Its time for Burgess, Hill and Whitehead to step up and match the remainder of the forwards efforts.
Looking forward to it.

| I thought that PNG were a good bet with the handicap but England won easily. Nobody in the media has mentioned yet that Tonga only beat Lebanon by two points. England played poorly but easily beat Lebanon.
I watched last weeks game on Premier to get the Aussie take on England and Laurie Daley along with the other panellists wrote England's chances off against Tonga. They even questioned Lockers' place in the team!
I'd love to see such ignorance shown up.

| Tonga were out of it until NZ stopped playing so we should have more than enough in the tank if we can cut out the errors. Tonga will tire and their spine isn't as strong as ours. England by 12 or so.
