Super Rugby in Tonga... about time!

[@Joshuagilchrist55]

I love everything about this pitch including the puddles it’s like watching pros play grass roots rugby at a local club. Awesome. It’s like watching old rugby.❤️

[@SocialObject]

Amazing to see 👍

[@archronin2707]

You love to see it! Beautiful rugby

[@Washyourbum28]

Spot on! Like watching grassroots footy

[@DavidLimofLimReport]

Great to see Super Rugby in Tonga. Love seeing the old fashioned small intimate grounds and tricky conditions. Good win for the Landers. Ugly but wins a win.

[@tongatau]

We want more in Nuku’alofa, Teufaiva stadium 😀 this was beautiful 🤩

[@SocialObject]

Amazing rugby in the conditions! Shows the skill of these players! Mate from Uk 👍

[@jmjm1920]

Thanks for this game good to see Tonga since 2010😊

[@Pierson1054]

Brilliant, take the game to the people !

[@Anthony-iz8lv]

Those Moana kits are awesome.

[@russelluasilaa8843]

Teu faiva looks legit!! so fun to watch those games in Tonga..love it

[@chinmayhejmadi7902]

Jersey clash is brutal. How hard was it to give the Highlanders a white kit?

[@khankake9576]

It was their heritage jersey

[@chinmayhejmadi7902]

@@khankake9576 ahhh I see. Still an unfortunate colour clash.

[@Joshuagilchrist55]

Lol it would have been brown in minutes. 😂

[@JINXakaIsh]

Why white ? Id say more red ish or darker red or maybe even a brown color

[@topsouter]

LONG Over due! Great match even in the rain soaked Tonga day.. Let's see more games there

[@Cleisthenes2]

Real shame about the weather, but great to see this in Tonga. It should become a fixture of the Super Rugby calendar

[@tjdaniel4941]

I would love to see our Blues team to play in Tonga 🇹🇴

[@tongatours]

Man fakalata e fai e tau i Tongani. Hope there will be more games played here in The Kingdom.

[@wildcolonialman]

Fabulous game in the rain. Moana Pacifica did very well.

[@KiwiGraggle]

Kind of reminds me of 80s rugby this. Real gritty, hard fought win.

[@rabbitss11]

Great result for the Landers in what looked like a tsunami. Think the ref missed a knock-on in this first half for one of Pacifica's tries

[@tmaktmak1464]

Beautiful game hosted in the Zambezi valley

[@archronin2707]

Tonga mate

[@BrandanHewitt]

Incredible handling despite the conditions

[@Samizouza]

Moana should have worn their home kit here in this historic first ever SR game in Nuku'alofa, if not for the bloody sponsors I'm assuming with the jersey clash. Anyways a great outing for the Tongan fans with some of their own heroes scoring points for Moana despite the loss, if only the team itself had more games here and in Apia instead of being outright nomads.

[@SheSoForeign]

Moana pasifika has come such a long way! Thank you for making us proud 🇼🇸❤️

[@LeaFaka-Tonga]

The highlight of the game was the Tongan crowd and their unwavering passion.

[@waynebeggs1106]

glad you never drowned mate

[@semisilatu6936]

I just got back from the game. I was a medic lol

[@dylanstephens7691]

Was it as difficult to tell the difference between the two sides as it is on KZbin? I am really struggling here. Their jersey's looks the same.

[@DJKANI.]

Wooow absolutely fantastic 🫶😍 it's abt time malo tonqa✨ even it's raining day thank you Moana & Highlander for everything 💯✨👏. proud and lovely 😁 at the future hope more supper rugby games host at tonqa👍😁

[@JimmyBoyFJ]

Jacob RATUMAITAVUKI-KNEEPKENS please play for The Flying Fijians 🙏

[@cnoc500]

Great to see Tonga hosting such a game. Pity about the conditions and the strips clash 😮

[@amigunz9164]

Awesome 👍

[@gusztitencenhauer]

Hats off to the two teams equipment managers: both team played in dark jersey, it was impossible to separate them on tv.

[@tjdaniel4941]

Hardluck Moana❤ Congratulations Landers

[@davidpalin1790]

Great game Did it rain?

[@Scrotomus]

Great rain did it game?

[@SuperNictastic]

Is it Monsoon season

[@garywagner2466]

Entertaining match in slightly damp conditions. Just like the good old days. May as well play some matches in smaller venues, the bigger stadiums are nowhere near full. Odd that the teams wore nearly identical kit. The laundry manager flat refused to let his team wear light colours?

[@treoryiz1156]

Good work moana

[@user-ug7fn8jn4d]

Field turned into a pool only in tonga 😂🇹🇴😂

[@dylerturden8018]

Not what moana wanted but beautiful that this game happened

[@DanSeabright]

sloppy wet matches are hard, well done otago

[@vijendrasingh6564]

Moana need some good players in key positions👉👉💥💥✌️✌️

[@franzfanz]

LOL, look at the ref at the end. Not often they end up that muddy.

[@samsung40_media87]

their kits look so similar

[@ChristopherNorman-ft9tv]

Nice W away Landers

[@user-eq9gv9tl3l]

Up the landers 👣

[@cozzyinternet4706]

almost a repeat of Drua's game vs. the Force, but unlucky for MP :(

[@rugbywhisperer-coachkane3038]

I am so glad I never woke up for this 😂😂😂😂😊

[@roadtoredemption15]

Malie kautama 🔥💪🏽⚡️

[@haydenreid7496]

This havili for Moana Pacifika should show the other havili for the saders how to play 10, i bet he'd be a better 12 than him too

[@difernandolima]

minute 5:15, was that try annulled to bogado? I don't realize why

[@jimmiecooper3230]

Ben O Keefe missed a knock on by the Drua for their one try .Facts !!!

[@DavidGraeberWasRight]

Thank god for the professional era, where we still have both teams in dark blue jerseys. fucks sake

[@Psalmsilolahia]

Put Neil Afioga on

[@CrystalClearConsciousness]

And the winner on the day was..........The Rain! Grass roots too!

[@vaafiso7637]

Give it to jules

[@SuperNictastic]

A day for long studs

[@joshuatuautu5055]

Whose fkn idea it was to play both teams in the same coloured kits?🤦🏻‍♂️

[@user-zv7ns5ik6y]

Great game, I just don't understand why they're wearing the same clothes😂

[@sebastianfortuin1318]

The pitch not up to international standerd. ye i know i know butt still

[@user-hq4zd7bk1k]

Eat more corned beef and you can be a big strong bonga like yo mom🤣🤣🤣🤣
