Nepia

Best thing Tupou ever does on a league field and it's called back for a forward pass.

Higgins

How the hell was that try not awarded?

needs more australian commentary i reckon.. where is the origin type build up?

I think the opposite, this game has all the hype on its own. It doesn't need the fake origin build up bullshit.

Monty seems to have switched back to being a Kiwis fan this week.

If the try is given the Tongan are going to start going for head shots. He's not held it should be a try

Nepia

The hyphens have been going well JWH, RTS and DWZ - and NAS has been angry.

Try to RTS.

I think I'm just not used to the Kiwis commentators..

Fair enough.

Tonga a bit hard done by with the last two non try then try but the Kiwis definitely looking the better team. The worry for Tonga now is a blow out in the second half.

Tapine is a bit of an unsung hero, working hard again this week and calmed down one of the flare ups by smiling at the Tongans running in. Mannering is getting through a lot of work too as per usual.

Just to think some of these guys wouldn't have got a look in if the Kiwis had Proctor, Bromwich, and Taumalolo etc..

NAS been bumping off Koni all day

Nepia

Tonga had a great break out then a repeat set but Konnie lost the ball going for the line.

Nepia

A few of the 50/50s going Tongas way. NAS had a play of the ball infringement and then Tonga did two similar in the next set.

Try to Fusitua.

Tonga in after the refs helped carry them into the kiwis half

It's carried on in this set as well.

mimic

finally the refs call it

Nepia

Tonga in for a try to Tupou after a nice inside pass from Konnie.

16-12

Nepia

Intercept try to Tui, Tonga about to take the lead.

Crazy Horse

@nepia I laughed when that happened. Kiwi train wreck coming up?

Why laugh?

Not really a train wreck, this Tonga team was always going to be tough with the defectors.

Leuluai caused that intercept really.

Nepia

Tonga in again. They're carving up.

24-16

Bit worried the Kiwis are just standing around and not talking things out.

@Donsteppa I'm a Kiwis fan so find it hard to laugh, while agreeing with your main point. (I've answered a post that is above my post :)).

Because I’m not sure who the bigger joke is - the Warriors or David Kidwell...
