2017 RLWC - SF2 - TON 18-20 ENG @ Auckland

[Billythekid]

I agree. I thought fiji might have been good but it was in fact a pathetic nz that I was watching.. are Tonga any good? We will find out but I doubt a Bennett coached English will roll over like the Kiwis.

The Tonga match was f**king miles better than the game against Fiji. It was pretty clear that the NZ v Tonga game was basically like a GF. In the match against Fiji it looked like they were already on holidays.

I'm not saying this NZ team was great but there was a night and day difference between their performance in both matches.

I still think Tonga is a step below the big 3 but not because of what happens with Fiji.

 

[Spot On]

Yes, I know the Tongan side is much, much better than the Fiji mob which in all honesty was not much chop. It is an absolute catastrophe for NZRL to have their test side lose to Fiji.

 

[Burns]

This is probably the most excited i've been for a game ever. I mean, the King of Tonga and the Prime Minister will be there!

I'll be supporting Engerland, but hope the game is a good one on the field.

The Tonga v NZ game was pretty hype and it actually delivered. If this game is even close to as good it'll be amazing. I don't mind who wins as long as they show up next week.

[roughyedspud]

This is gonna be special

 

[Golden point]

This is gonna be special

It really is, this crowd is making me nervous for England.
Perfect preparation for Australia though. Staying focused and error free is what we need to see.

 

[Burns]

Thousands and thousands outside waiting to get in, wonder if they'll push kick-off late?

 

[Leber]

Stadiums almost full already

 

[cablenathan]

I'll be honest, I'd love to see Tonga win if only because if England get through, I have zero interest in watching the final.

 

[Clifferd]

Playing for the right to lose to the aussies

 

[Stallion]

I'll be honest, I'd love to see Tonga win if only because if England get through, I have zero interest in watching the final.

England played well against the Kangaroos in Melbourne. A few crucial calls went against the Poms at crucial times. So whomever makes it an intriguing final is assured. Looking forward to either side qualifying. After all its rugby league!

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Come on England, what a great scene with all these Tongans packing the stadium.

 

[Burns]

Absolute chills

 

[Mr Angry]

This will be awesome.

 

[Burns]

This will be good, my word this will be good
