[Kiwi-Capper_merged]

tonga over in the 26th minute to break the deadlock.


couple of good bullocking runs from the tongans to get that score.

[Kiwi-Capper_merged]

good scrambling defence from tonga. they seem to have the edge at the moment

i'm watching it on sky sports in NZ

[Kiwi-Capper_merged]

sam moa....... is playing for tonga

[Kiwi-Capper_merged]

awesome defence from samoa could result in a try here

[Kiwi-Capper_merged]

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

[Kiwi-Capper_merged]

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.

[Kiwi-Capper_merged]

second half has started in the same physical manner as the first

[Kiwi-Capper_merged]

video ref ruling as francis meli goes close in the corner....

[Kiwi-Capper_merged]

great goal lone defence from samoa keep tonga out.


there's been quite a bit of dropped ball in this game but it's a fun game to watch

[Kiwi-Capper_merged]

The kicking game from samoan No 7 Ben roberts is what is keeping Samoa on top

otherwise the teams are vey evenly matched

[Kiwi-Capper_merged]
