Pacific Cup 2024

Timoko loses ball in tackle, 40m out from Kiwi line.

Tonga's defence worries me. Yes they are winning the meters but the offensive Defense has us strangled.

We may need to make the call early this week and get Nikorima out there in the halves

 

[Philip_Smith007]

SJ kicks into back of Tongan and they start on hallway.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

We finally find a decent yardage set and a woeful kick undoes it

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Tonga knock on the Kiwis double knock on
Tonga challenged it. Not touch from Tonga and Kini touch goes back.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

SJ legs taken after the kick.
Penalised. SJ sold it but AFB didn't try to wrap or get out of the way.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Don’t know what Larmer and Betham are on, that’s been a penalty all year

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Kini stuffs up again in the play the ball 4m out.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Kiwis done for inside the 10m on halfway, 6 again. Crossland up to quick.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

This is a dreadful performance so far

 

[Philip_Smith007]

AFB bowls over Kini to score under the post.
After Thompson missed him and Tapine arm grabbed.

0-14 24mins

The tables have turned.

Tonga is the professional tier one test side. New Zealand are the minnows. about to get a hiding.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

The tackling efforts of Fish, Thompson and Tapine were so so poor from top level forwards at this level

Hopefully we can get to the break no more than this behind and reset at halftime, absolute mile off so far

I was expecting to lose to Tonga with the spine we have and they are delivering as expected. Only CNK without a penalty or mistake.

It is an absolute joke that Tonga are still considered Tier 2

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Kini now knocks on a Tonga bomb under pressure 10m out. Replay inconclusive?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Havalli scores from dummy half. Owned JFH and Siro there!
0-18 27mins

Sorry no hope.
They go into the sheds to Kearny and Jones.

 

[sup42]

Well done Tonga. Looking like a night to remember for them.

 

[Matua]

My god we're tutae.

JFH is playing like he's a Warrior already.

The NZ crowd is pathetic. Where are all the Kiwi fans?
