Sucks this was the last international rugby game before COVID F**ked everything up.

[@heemitipene8873]

That's what they blamed........but while rugby and every other sport started playing international games, only league remained in lockdown. With this many island/kiwi born players in the NRL learning from the best, it was only a matter of time before the Aussies were going to lose their "invincibility" tag. To be the best, you gotta beat the best.... and Aussies are such sore losers. Bring on the world cup this year.

@@godemperorofmankind3.091How many times have Samoa beat Tonga? So many times. Except Tonga made history and revolutionised something none of the Islander teams ever have done. Meanwhile Samoa and the other islands were just stuck in the same mindset of versing each other and sticking to “Oh as long as we beat Tonga” fuelling ancestral hate - Tonga weren’t thinking of that at all. Meanwhile TS needed a bit of limelight and it was kinda forced tbh - and honestly if it wasn’t for MMT, Samoa wouldn’t be doing the same. It’s the truth..whether you like it or not.
