indeed it is a try.

although slight suspicion of a steal the try is given......

kick is missed so it's 6-4 after 35 mins

some great scrambling defence again at the end of the half from tonga! but the half ends with a penalty to samoa...

...which is converted so at half time it's 6-6

should maybe open up a bit more in the second half as the bif men get tired.


thoroughly entertaining game

not sure what the crowd is. not too big but quite vocal. sounds like a great atmosphere.

The weather may have stopped a few people.
