Manu has played the full 80 for us before so its not a first.

Leo Latu was awsome for Tonga. Jennings pass for the last try was sensational.

Best game by a mile.

I stand corrected

What a fantastic match Tonga vs Ireland was, if you missed it, make sure you try and catch a replay. Ireland had every chance to win the game. Tonga's ill discipline was as bad as I have ever seen. Some awesome hits from the Tonga team too.

Was it me, or did Australia look and play as if they couldn't even be bothered, yet still plastered them.

Ive seen much more complete performances from the Roos in the past that is for certain.

Agree with everything there, think some Wakey fans must be wondering why Leo-Latu hasnt done that for them



Thought Tonga could have been up by quite a bit by half time if it wasnt for giving tons of pens away. Classic game though, best game I've seen this season

I didnt think the Aussies were all that good, good but not awesome or anything. I think that the current NZ is very poor compared to the sides they put out 2 or 3 years ago, nevermind the years before that

They did the basics right and won every collision etc easily. I'd take a performance like that from England happily!

I think NZ need to get shut of Leuluai at SH if they want to improve. Not a fan of Fien at 7 but he would do a better job and Issac Luke would go well at hooker, he played really well in the Anzac Test this season. They could even play Hohaia at 7 and it would be an improvement tbh.

If Motu Tony and Brent Webb were fit im not sure Hohaia or Fien would be playing. Not a fan of TL at 7 with a running 6 next to him either but thought Marshall really struggled to impose himself on the game too. Noticable that when he could be bothered to run at the line he looked dangerous but looked totally lethargic.

The Tonga/Ireland game was the best match of the World cup so far. Some very big hits from the Tongan's but credit to Ireland for the way they played also.
The next step for the NRL must be to add teams from PNG & the Pacific nations.

PNG definately.
