[John Drake]

Discuss Tonga v Wales here.

[GeordieSaint]

Really enjoyed watching the Welsh last week. But this is a very different proposition. Tonga by 50.

[DavidM]

Tonga 64-4 Wales

[MatthewWoody]

Tough tough game for the Welsh. 

[Hughsehhh]

We'll pull off a shock. Tonga didn't look all that good against PNG and so I'm going Wales by around 20 in a fantastic running display

[JimBronco]

Tonga via destruction

What he said.

Sorry. What he's having.

[moorside roughyed]

It's going to be a difficult night for the Welsh. I can see only one clear winner.

Wales?

[gogledd]

I am hopeful that Tonga will underestimate us, and we pinch a narrow win...

Not quite . No , seriously if they can get on the scoreboard. I'd like to see them do well as an ex Oldham player is in the team (Joe Burke).

Conservative....the Taffs will stick 30 unanswered points on them at least

[Henson Park Old Firm]

My Tip: Wales will win if they score enough points

[SydneyRoosters]

Tonga 44-12

[Toby Chopra]

Wales showed up well last week, but Tonga will have blown off the cobwebs by now and I expect a much slicker performance with fewer errors. Tonga by 3 tries.

Tonga were pretty sloppy vs PNG and certainly out wide. Tonga by plenty but will be closer than a lot of other RD2 games.

[JimBronco]

Wales +44.5 is 11/10. I'm all over that. Wales will battle hard. I think Tonga win comfortably but to win by 8 converted tries difference? I think the Welsh can restrict them to less than that.

A lot will depend on the spirit in the camp and a saturated pitch.

Can't go tonight but here's hoping for a close result, PNG to do us a favour against the Cook Islands and all to play for next week.

[meast]

As much as I can see Wales battling, I can see another 60+ haul for the southern hemisphere.

 

[Wellsy4HullFC]

1-0

[Welshleaguelover]

We're in for a battering I think. I'd say we'll lose by 50/60ish but the lads will be enthusiastic and do themselves proud.

[SalfordSlim]

Tonga comfortably. Wales won't go down without a fight but the Tongans will ultimately be too fast, strong & skilful.

At the end of the day,if they know they've done their best you can't ask any more than that. Remember a few seasons ago when Oldham knocked Hull KR out of the challenge cup. Nobody predicted that,not even me and I'm an Oldham fan. An upset could be on the cards,you never know.
