2019 Oceania Cup Test - Sat 2 Nov - AUS 12-16 TON @ Eden Park

[SBD82]

I really don't care Australia lost, lol.

You must be one of those fake Tongans thinking it's now cool to represent a country you weren't born in, can't speak the language of, and have probably never been to.

 

[Mr Angry]

Everyone of those Tongans comes back a better player.

 

[Diesel]

In terms of the game itself, Tonga showed the importance of running hard, fast and straight.

The result is probably the best thing that’s happened in Rugby League since 2005

2008

Haha another game that got just a bit too tough for Latrell! Poor bloke, just give him his mill a year and let him coast

 

[Springs09]

Hurrell in a Tongan jersey is 10x the player he usually is
Jennings played close to the best game of his career
Staggs was outstanding as a makeshift half
Lolohea actually had a good kicking game
If the Tongan pack gets momentum they are the most destructive force in the RL world.

A lot of the Tongan players would make the Australian side based on performances like this. Tupou could probably get his Aussie jersey back if he wanted. Taukeiaho, Taumalolo and Fonua-Blake would be there too.

Meanwhile, over at the "real" international rugby event, South Africa are winning.... 4 penalty goals to 2....

Nothing like the bore fest in tonight's Tonga/Australia match where players seemed willing to run hard, tackle hard, and throw the ball around...

The worst part about the game tonight was Sutton. Just make a decision and move on you moron. We don't need a video review of every try when you have the best view in the house from about a metre away from each try.

 

[skeepe]

Yes it should have been a scrum with the feed Australia. Why? Took a tap and go penalty with a player in front of the ball. Also voluntary tackle. The Sutton brothers are whats wrong with refereeing.

wasn’t a voluntary tackle because Cordner put a hand on him.

 

[Vee]

Great game by Tonga. Surely we have a better half in the country than DCE.

Name one.

 

[Mr Angry]

Name one.

f**k up. You go do it then you moron.

Not really. Hurrell and Lolohea would just go back to stinking it up everyweek for their club. They’re the Tongan Dane Gagais.

 

[MilkShark]

Plodner as captain and mal as coach.

Get used to more of these losses

 

[Nerd]

f**k up. You go do it then you moron.

Maybe you like watching video review after video review I myself think it is a blight on the game. For the record if you don't like my opinion go f#ck yourself Gerard.

 

[dogz08]

Tonga population will increase by 50% 9 months from now!

Mate any KFC in Auckland will be the place to be tonight..

 

[Tommy Smith]

Name one.

Keary.

Unfortunately he was injured but he's Australia's best 6 or 7 going forward by a country mile.

Some dudes play better in better company, granted.

Some dudes just get older and better.

Still what a day for the Tongans......awesome stuff. What words do they sing in harmony so well?

I would rather attempt to tackle one, than be tackled.

Choir boys who hit like titanium bricks.

 

[AJB1102]

3. Meninga offers not much as coach. I'm a Qld fan, but it just goes to show that the theory that Mal's success was more due to Neil Henry and Queensland culture is on the money.

Henry and Hagan (his Origin assistants) are also his assistants for Australia.

 

[tumbidragon]

WTF where tonga doing near the end there looked like they where setting up for a pick and go the last 3 tackles and then the last tackle was completed by a tongan player on a tongan player hilarious

Grats to them anyway

Only in RL can you see an own tackle cap off an International and have an official think to himself 'seems legit'... Classic!

 

[Spot On]

Haha another game that got just a bit too tough for Latrell! Poor bloke, just give him his mill a year and let him coast

Unfortunately this seemed to be the case. Again.

It is clear why he was cut by Fitler, which was the right call.

Why was he brought back into rep footy by Meninga????
