[Number 10]

@number-10 They also share the same last name. His name is Levi Valentino Fakatava.

You're dead right, Stargazer.

It's not Folau Fakatava.

[Stargazer]

@number-10 If fit, I fully expect Folau to play for next year's NZ U20s!

[Stargazer]

Haha, sneaky try from Plummer. Only saw it on the replay.

[Stargazer]

47 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Sullivan scores after a great break from Plummer and another excellent pass from Price.

Great conversion against the wind. 59 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Will Tremain has come on. He was always impressive for Napier BHS, but has been unlucky with injuries.

[Stargazer]

Sotutu and Mafileo have also come on.

[Stargazer]

Try Tanielu Tele'a. Tonga's defence is absolutely horrendous. So many missed tackles.

66 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Now it's Sione Asi going over the line. The conversion is good again. Plummer has been good tonight.

73 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Great offload from Proctor in the tackle and Trask dots down again.

Trask has taken over the kicking duties from Plummer, but misses the conversion from a difficult angle.

78 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Try Riedlinger-Kapa. I start feeling sorry for Tonga. They're not in this game at all. Two entirely different levels. Commentators are already asking whether NZ will get to 100.

Matoe converts. 85 - 0 NZ with 5 minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

Absolutely awesome try from Tremain. What a run!

[Stargazer]

92 - 0 NZ

His grandfather did that quite a few times !

[Stargazer]

Try Billy Proctor.

[Stargazer]

Matoe's kick hits the post and it's full time. NZ wins 97 - 0.

Short note: Aus U20 currently 44-0 up against Fiji U20. Not watching it because the stream is fucking vile at this end. But it looks like being a win.

I been watching and aus looked very good on defence but nothing special in attack

@family-man that's a change from "shit all round" but we'll see if they can get within 30 of NZ.

Sorry to digress.

But is seems an unnecessary apostrophe.
Was Alex Telea's name spelt wrong all those years ago? Or are these 2 different names? If so what's the difference in pronunciation?

Genuine question.

Samoans know how to pronounce names without apostrophes.. I asked my mum about it and she said that they added the apostrophe so white people know how to say our names..

My name has an apostrophe in it, but some of my first cousins dont have it added..
