I won't mention how many of those names I'm familiar with even though I watched the match last Saturday...

@stargazer I thought they were counted I remember talk about how they’d be caps

It’s upto each nation when to award caps. Normal both sides do but not always in history. So if Manu wanted to award caps vs Maori, they could have

@machpants I see thanks for the clarification.

Just in case you hadn't noticed. This game won't be on Sky Sport 1, but on Sky Sport 2.

I like this:

HOW DID THEY QUALIFY LAST TIME AROUND?

Tonga qualified as one of the top-two ranked teams across Pacific Nations Cup 2016 and 2017, finishing runners-up to Fiji and taking the Oceania 2 spot. Samoa advanced to an Oceania/Europe play-off against Germany, which they won 108-43, on aggregate, to book their place at England 2019 as the Play-Off Qualifier.

I'm with you, World Rugby... Japan 2019 didn't happen. ALL results from England 2015 should have just carried across to England 2019.

@kruse Haha, I bet they copied from an old document.

Yep - that's a classic copy-paste from the previous version of that document, and missing one little bit to update

Is no one watching this?
Good game so far.
Loving all of the CM players getting international experience. Sam Slade has come on in leaps and bounds the last few weeks.

@crucial good competitive game - very even so far.

[Stargazer]

@crucial I was, but have to watch the rest later.

3-0 Tonga after 17

[antipodean]

This is more competitive so far than I feared it might be.

Probably his last npc this year. Going to France

[antipodean]

Play the whistle. Even kids know that.

[Yeetyaah]

This game is pretty shit.

[antipodean]

Can't agree with that by the TMO. Looked like a strip and the regather didn't go forward to my eye.

“12 penalties only in 38 minutes”, “great discipline from both teams”
Come on Laban

[Bovidae]

Hopefully this remains a close game so it's all on for next week.

Sorry but if you're the coach of a Pasifika team you would think you could manage to pronounce some of the simpler words correctly. Like the word "Samoa"...
