2018 Test Match - Tonga v Australia @ Mt Smart

[t-ba]

Bullshit call compounded by stupidity.

They'd be mad not to play NZ V Tonga at Eden park next year, the money made would ease the pain a bit for NZ of being out-supported in their own country.

Big wraps to Mal for promoting the international game.

How much does he need to do for all the damage his Super League boosting cost the international game?

They make it sound like he's a volunteer.

I'm sure he gets paid shitloads to be the Roos coach; and promoting international league should be a part of his duty.

Plz stop 60 minutes.

What has Rugby League ever done for him?

Great stuff. Love watching Tonga play. The crowd and the energy from the team is unreal.

I didn't find Australia convincing despite the score line. If Tonga could reign in the errors I think we would see a closer game.

Do we really need Australian refs to ref Australia’s games?

Predictable result in the end. Tonga’s 6/7/9 arent even first choice starters for teams that didn’t make the 8. If they had even average first grade standard halves they would have challenged the Roos tonight.

For Australia thought Tedesco was best. Not convinced the others in the spine will be there long term but they’re probably the best on offer FTM. Still can’t understand why Frizzell and JTurbo don’t start, they’re our best forwards.

Stop the first Tongan try?

Hingano keen to come off. Dont know about that attitude

No way. He was telling them to put it back in.

Agree with this, Tonga still very raw, they could really do with a more settled half to calm it down a bit.

Hard to see DCE and Keary still being the halves for the World Cup but nobody has made it their own. I don't think Australia will fall in a heap but New Zealand and England have a great chance to win silverware in the next decade or so.

This Tongan phenomenon is unlike anything I've seen in Rugby League that I can remember. Again, NZ would be mad not to get a few 40k+ crowds while the potential is there, even if Tonga eventually do fall back to the pack.

Hard to understand why they didn't play this match this year. Same w/e as the PNG game would have worked.
