Rugby League - Kiwis
-
What a try! Tapine
-
SJ and Keanu combining on the last brilliantly to get us going forward.
-
What a run. We are killing it down the right side.
-
Papali’i has turned up in the second half. Running. With real venom.
-
SJ with 2 bad 5th tackle decisions.

Kiwis had two chances to either kick into the in goal or kick a DG and do nothing. Tonga have one shot and slot it

Dumb as shit play by the Kiwis.
-
I hate that we took that long range penalty.
-
Kick for the corner and then get in the red zone where we were dominant.

'Physically battered': Frank admission from New Zealand coach and captain after Tonga defeat
Stacey Jones and James-Fisher Harris speak to the media after New Zealand's defeat to Tonga.
-
If the Kiwis loose to the Kumuls won't that mean New Zealand is no longer a Tier 1 nation and because it will be Tier 2 Kiwis will be allowed to play Origin. Tonga would be getting near to Tier 1 after last night, and many of its Origin players would no longer be eligible.

kiwis took the tongans on at their own game
a bit silly, they feeling it now hehe
but made for a great watch
aussies wont do that
they'll just smother them with defence, at least 3 in every tackle and stop tongan go foward
the poms did that in the series last year, and just fristrated the fuck out of the tongans
very effective but not as good to view
even so, i think the tongans can still win next weeknot surprised the tongans won against the kiwis, and wont be suprised if they win next week v aus
international league really starting to be something
even png and fiji are going pretty good, and samoa looked ok v poms last night
and CI are sort of competitive
a bit of a levelling out, get used to it i think
shits all over a like rugby union compstate of origin should have nothing to do with international play
so long as the player was a NSW or qld junior is all that should matter
that would actually take SOO to an even higher level than it is now
genuine all star series, still with acid -

If playing with only one half and having an off the chart error rate is playing the Tongans at their own game then sure.
But the reality is we were just shit, that was a terrible performance. We shouldn't have let them get 24 points ahead of us and when we did level up we should have won it.
And we should have played a guy who had a good season at 6 instead of a guy who had an ok season at fullback. That was a fucking stupid coaching decision, I love Stacey the player but he can't coach for shit.
All our reputation forwards were shit in the first half. They all performed better in the second.
We made Tui look good for half a match. Tui FFS.
Oh and I don't for one second think that our weakened team was an excuse for that. We had the players to win, that's why we got within 1 point of the win.
shits all over a like rugby union comp
Cuz, you're in the wrong forum for that shitfight, you might need to find a league forum for that. International league is way behind international rugby. We could barely put together a halves combo. That doesn't happen in international rugby. This comp is so mickey mouse it doesn't even have all teams in it playing every weekend. Not to mention the competitive of it is down to NRL deciding arbitrarily who can or cannot play origin.
