@Sneakdefreak what's their word for sh*thouse?
Fale namuku (maybe loki namuku or even fale malolo?) or fale tutae!

Don’t injure yourself Crotty!!
-
ABs playing with 14.
-
Hansen probably had a heart attack when Crotty was running full pace then, was sure he was going to pull a hammy. Rightly subbed for such reckless play.
-
92 zip with 15 mins to go
-
Tongans in the crowd enjoying the party , everyone is happy

Tonga may be losing this game 92-0 but they definitely win the "most impressive beard" competition.

That's not a YC ffs
I think it probably is from the end on shot - but for the game he should have sent two ABs off as well.
Terrible call -- he was pulling out and put a hand out to soften the impact. Just in no way a yellow.
Referees are going to cost some teams at this cup, and it's going to suck.
He hit him with the shoulder even while pulling out. I don't disagree that refs will cost teams but by the letter of the law it's yellow.
Probably - I'd argue little force and pulling out - but to me shows how refs don't seem to have 'feel' for the game any more. I don't think that's the sort of tackle that was intended to be carded, no matter how the laws are written.

I think Gardner does and this decision just now shows that.

Good to see a ref make a good decision
