If you ever get the chance to watch the 2008 World Cup match between the two, watch it.
In the top 2 of the best games of the tournament. It was a pretty fiery encounter.

Legend.
Calls Moses, Twal and Mansour little bitches.
There's one really big area where Rugby League could explode in popularity and that's International games. There's only so much growth the NRL can make in the domestic competition and Origin is already a top tier product.
International games that have meaning can boost the game's popularity. Anyone been around Brisbane when Tonga are playing? The flags are everywhere, it's great. That's the sort of culture that breeds life long fans and improves the sports, not clubs/players taking a week off because they can't be bothered.

We were lucky enough to have visited the Logan Entertainment Centre when Tonga were last playing. We were there for a cheerleading thing but the car park was washed with red, they’d organised a gathering to celebrate Tonga, it was obviously a massive occasion for the community.
Secretly I was barracking for Samoa, with Moose & Milford.

I would love to see a 3rd tier nation smash Australia.

Robbie Farah spot on there.
The players want a bigger slice of the pie? Start fucking promoting the game on an International scale by playing.
I also think the NRL could do more in terms of match payments when it comes to playing for the lesser nations.

Yeah absolutely, the NRL need to commit more funds to match payments, it would even stop the joke of players suddenly becoming Australian just so they can take in 100k in origin payments.

Tonga are pretty weak in the middle third.
NZ are going to target that all night.

What was Asiata thinking?
Luckily for them NZ knocked on but it was the 3rd tackle and they were on the front foot.

That should be penalty NZ.
Lolohea walked off the mark.
