[Match Thread] GB Lions v Tonga XIII - Hamilton - 26 Oct 2019

[Storm13]

Too many GB players around to be a penalty try. I couldn’t argue with ten minutes.

If it went to the VR who the f**ks know what would have been awarded???

The comeback is on

The ref or VR have to be certain a try would have been scored. You couldn’t say that with any real conviction.

But it's the VR, they don't care what rules are lol

Has Tonga ever played GB before?

The game always delivers, the product always comes through.

This was so much more exciting then the snore fest kiwis vs aus match

 

[Storm13]

Apparently there's no GB merch for sale at the ground according to mascord

Hopefully the teams dont exchange jerseys at the end of the match.

Who cares about RU. Record it and watch after fast forwarding through the stoppages

I couldn’t care less about the rugby union, I’m thinking about the crowd in New Zealand, plenty of Tongan fans would be watching the all Blacks

Welcome to the club GB.

Crowd...

Bad but it could’ve been worse, well done to all the Tongan fans who turned up!

Rep month while Australia dribbles over Origin. Tonga and NZ in a 3 test series while SOO is on makes sense. The IRL needs to push this. We know the ARLC/NRL will whine, but ffs, who owns this game?
