How good is Bridge!

He has cemented his spot for another season

[Tim]

@kirwan Yeah, quiet in the first half, but got more into it late. When TJ had to praise his defence he was struggling to say anything at all.

Fucking stellar pass from Rieko

Average pass. It was just that Bridge made it look fantastic..

He had a lot to work to do. Had to beat 29 players... to the ball that was thrown to him

[Old Samurai Jack]

I think Bridge has become my favorite player. Anyone who can get the Fern frothing at the mouth like this is worth his weight in gold!
I am giving him my man of the match!

The counter ruck was from Akira Ioane, so they won't mention who did it.

Nice work rate late in the game

Fresh legs after the first half

Ahh fuck, Tongan Captain crying. This sucks

Agreed. To do this to proud players is near unforgiveable.

[Hooroo]

But sweet too. Really good to show what it means to play international rugby.

They really tried.

Perhaps stop asking him questions when he clearly doesn't want to talk

[Yeetyaah]

Emotional Tongan captain. Wonder if Keith Quinn will have any macho man bullshit to say about it.

[Stag]

Why the fuck would you have a trophy for this game

[Yeetyaah]

@stag participation medal

[Hooroo]

What a fucking cool ending. Good on you Sam!!!

[Kirwan]

Classy from Whitelock to get the Tongans in for the photo

[nostrildamus]

Some are still in quarantine? Shit.
they tried hard.
NB Whitelock could be a decent AB captain and he doesn't win many MOTM but he is almost always so solid for the ABs-will leave a massive hole,

Yep. Ben Tameifuna is one of them.

What was the point of this. We would have been better suited to a north south game. Tonga can not take anything at all from this game. Nothing.

They really needed another game before this at least

I don't think I've ever seen a team less enthused about winning a trophy
