Personally think Tonga will be too strong ..... but you never know !

Would've been better if they had it as a home and away series one game in Tonga and one in the Cook Islands. Instead of a one off game in Sydney.

JohnDoe, have you been to the Cook Islands? Where do you suppose they play this game?

Didn't the cooks put a heap of money into a stadium a few years ago only for the kiwis to pull out and not tour there?

I don't know if they invested in the stadium but it was obviously good enough for the proposed match against the Kiwis at the time.
