Morgan pin point kick to Holmes.
Valu missed the jump to catch inside, just to high for him.
Bullshit penalty call that lead to this, Aussie holding Fijians leg in tackle and to long in tackle called.
Why is this not a English or NZ ref?????
12-2

Aussie completely dominate.
Commentators call it class, I think it's just dedication and concentration on the simple things.
54-6
I don't see Tonga or England worrying them.
Mel won't let them think that way.

The gulf between Fiji and Australia epitomises to me how God damn awful the Kiwis were and have become under Kidwell. Surely this completely disproves his thoughts I'm sure he's espousing that this was a particularly good Fiji team. It was about 5 NRL players and a handful of part timers

You Kidwell haters still harking on? Rome wasn't built in a day, don't ya know. If the Kiwis weren't broke - Kidwell wouldn't have had to fix 'em. What were they ranked when he took over? #1. How you gonna fix winning culture and performance problems when ya ranked that highly?

David, broke 'em lads down and built whoevers left not on drugs or left for another nation's team, back up.The players know who they can trust between him and the fans. And he did it with just his bare hands and some chewing gum. That's MacGuyver level talent right there. Gotta break a few eggs to burn that bridge when he came to it. And thats what he did this world cup.

He's building something special - want proof? Last year NZ woulda drawn with Scotland - now we beat 'em at home. I hope the Halbergs saw that performance for coach of the year. He should be a lock.

Right. So I'm guessing a lot of the Tongan supporters live in Auckland. How do the Warriors connect with this audience to get them to be Warriors regulars??

Sorry can’t agree.
Need proof.
He panicked after Nikorima made 1 bad defensive read and was run over and had no support helping and put in Martin who added no options or pressure off SJ.
The mental space of the players.
Players choosing Tonga over NZ (now justified).
Fiji and Tonga budgets better than NZRL? No
Game plan was pass to SJ he’ll figure something out.

Could go on, but we need the best person to coach this team who wants to coach this team no matter nationality.

Would any offence occur if we had a half shirt of Tongan design and other half Samoan for a round?
Other potential slogan “Pacific Pride”
A Samoan and Maori ambassador in there as well.
