New Zealand v Tonga

Haha, I have no idea. I'm just listening to the radio. :(

24 all. Tonga drops ball after kick off 2 m out.

Fa'aoso stopped it with foot, bounced up and hit his hands and then went forward.
 
Wow, this game would be awesome to watch from the sounds of it.

Im reading a heap of reports saying this match up is playing out better than the grand final
 
Final score:
NZ 36 def. Tonga 24
NZ Tries: Marshall (2), Goodwin (2), Sau, Perrett, Fien, Matai
NZ Goals: Luke 3/6, Goodwin 1/1, Marshall 0/1

Tonga Tries: Uaisele (2), Mateo, Huihahau, Mataka
Tonga Goals: Eddie Paea 2/5
 
That was a hell of a game alright! From memory Sau only missed one tackle that lead to a try, and Tonga still had a bit to do before getting over the line. Perrett had a bit of a mare outside him, though.

Honestly, that game had everything. Tonga were awesome, and Fa'aoso was one of their best. Although, unfortunately for him, he did knock on off the kick off, about 15 minutes into the second half when it was 24 all, and NZ hadn't touched the ball for at least ten minutes, no exxageration. NZ scored off that possession though, to make it 30-24.

Thought Sau was good, it was an excellent try he scored. He was playing on the other side of the field from his normal side, but seemed to handle the transition well.

One of the best internationals I've seen, I'll try and get some highlights for ya all in the next day or so.

Tonga had another seemingly fair try disallowed in the first half, as well.
 
Sounds like an awesome game from the Updates in here. But clearly NZ weren't at full strength.

Some highlights would be awesome James!
