Way to go Kiwis! Tongan supporters the best hands down!!

[@debbienansen5332]

Even though Tongan lost they still went crazy in Otahuhu 🤣

[@warriorsfan1602]

I seen solid looking Tongan men with beards wearing dresses and others dressed up as super Mario brothers through to T Rex partying in otahuhu lol. They are out the gate lol but man they're hearty loyal supporters 👍

[@tetokicrawford]

@@warriorsfan1602 its not a skirt, its a lavalava. Pacific islanders wear them.

[@warriorsfan1602]

@@tetokicrawford Bro I know what a lavalava is. I've worn one myself. What I saw was a grown man wearing a palagi style red dress and it was algood. He was having the time of his life and it was algood

Celebrating losses is the wrong mindset if you celebrate losses you're celebrating mediocrity.

[@Samizouza]

Kind of a small win here on the fan fare, sea of red always shows up although it's a different story with their union team. 😅

Moses leota is a beast

[@jamesspooner1.2.76]

Woohoo way to go Kiwis, well done. I was at this game, and what a specticle it was to be there watching the tongan supporters and their passion! Well done to our boys, and thankyous all for fotos with my grandson. TE IWI KIWI😛

Mulitalo try was all skill one handed catch and dive into corner.

Brandon Smith was a beast on defence and attack

[@ryanschultz4119]

I really like the infusion of youth in the New Zealand squad. So dynamic, fast, & versatile! Joey Manu, Jerome Hughes, & Dylan Brown really played well. The entire team were stout defensively! And had great chemistry playing off each other. As for Tonga, while they have a couple quick individuals outside. They seemed to lack team speed in general. Need more time practicing together. And tactically, I understand the strategy of kicking short. But not off your own try line! Smh. You have to account for game situation. Along with who your opponent is. Great performance by the Kiwi's! And btw, how strong is Maika Sivo..? Joey Manu was beasting on a field full of stars. And Sivo absolutely destroyed Manu with a stiff arm last week! Lol.

[@warriorsfan1602]

If an NFL scout had spotted Maika Sivo ten years ago and not a Parra scout. Maika would of been a star running back for my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers instead of that azzhole le'Veon Bell lol. The Kiwi forwards bent Tongans line like it was made out of soft butter and ourhalves and Joey Manu finished them off

Dude this commentary is so refreshing

[@Samizouza]

Much better compared to the overly exaggerated Aussie commentary 😅

[@honawikeepa5813]

Tonga won the Passion prize that's for sure and despite the score. Kiwi's looked like the AB's in their prime. Is the Rapana boy from Toroa in Wkakatane? Love Tonga. Great game.

Cant believe the NRL got rid of the mid season tests. Look at that crowd.

[@saveliomoale5129]

Very good game MMT so to the Kiwi boys. Tonga have a very bright future.

[@jinjaman101]

good game.

[@renegade9064]

Good win Kiwis, Congratulations for sure. Well deserved. To our Tokouaz, definitely got some things to work on & prepare better for but at least we know how intense & hard the World Cup will be. This is a great lesson to know what New Zealand & Australia will bring at the end of the year. Let's re-group later & work on getting better. I'm happy with how the game went considering the Tongan RL team had 8 debutants (Koula, Tuipulotu, Penisini, Katoa, Amone, Koloamatangi, Luke, Olakauatu), so keep your heads up. Win or lose, we'll celebrate nonetheless. Thank you Kiwis for playing against Tonga, better preparation for the boys ahead of the RLWC. Good luck to both teams this year, much ofaz.

[@alisimau1325]

God Job boy's......everything is fine....all people is happy 🥰🥲😚

And this is probably the last time we see these mid season tests as the NRL moves Origin back to Wednesday night games .. instead of weekend games ..

Not Mulitalo swearing at the Touchy in the last 4-5 mins of the game Bahaha. Bro I hope Dylan Brown, Moses Leota, come and play for Samoa at the end of the year since they're both Samoan. But if ur wandering why I didn't say Ronaldo or Isaiah is bc we don't need them we have better players who play those positions. :)

@@DSP-94 Sorry, what I meant is that we have so many SR's that if we lose one we still have a another person to put in like Jeremiah Nanai, Luciano Leilua, Jaydyn Su'a, and yeah so if we lose him i'm just saying that it won't be that big of a deal. if U get anything i said :)

Well there's England as likely quarterfinals opponents if I'm not wrong, because it's either them or Samoa who will most likely beat England anyways and win their pool.

A lot of people go for both teams, mate.

[@Keedar]

Wow how shocking, Do you think there are mixed people as well? Surely not

[@MusMasi]

plenty of them, many of them are Tongan New Zealanders so they want both teams to do well. Their dream final would probably be NZ vs Tonga because even if Tonga loses they still win in a way as their second team wins.

8:13 okay guys, time to go home now

[@jz009able]

Tonga needs to utilize the speed of the back 3; Koula Katoa and Tuipulotu more. Just need a little more organized on attack. Yeah the halves maybe inexperienced but there is no excuses on big games like this. Iam confident with little bit more time and gelling together comes world cup our boyz will be prime. Give me some fuifui moimoi 💪 yeah. Ups the Mate Maa Tonga!!!

[@Trajan2401]

The Kiwis are looking the strongest I've seen them in a long time I think they have a great chance to win the world cup take into consideration the Maori side have beaten the NRL indigenous all stars 3 years running league is in good hands it's a pity I can't say that about the All Blacks who have the most useless coach in history

[@maoriboy1015]

should make this kiwis side the warriors team.. they might actually win games. 😂😂😂

[@daniella921]

Aia lol

[@montegaddis]

Which is the better battle?……NZ vs Tonga or Fiji vs PNG 👀

[@warriorsfan1602]

As a Kiwi supporter any game the Kiwis are playing is the better batte. In saying that the PNG v FIJI was the game that interested me the most because I didn't know who would win that game unlike the others which I already knew who was going to win.

[@k13mack]

Fiji and PNG was a great game

[@tagaloa2798]

Both

[@Samizouza]

Definitely the latter due to pure rivalry

Both, any solid game to watch is good 👍

wait, why is no one scrumming after a tackle ??? what am i missing here ??

You mean rucking, and as stated league not union.

[@shaunodonnell396]

Mulitalo has the best pukana in the team way better than warriors 😝

[@ioritanasaufoi8564]

The Tongan pick their team with players out of positions eg stagg plays centre not in that position when did he play 6 for the broncos

[@DSP-94]

He has only ever played 6 for Tonga. But he did want to play 6 for the Broncos, but they prefer him at centre.
