Tonga v Wales
-
That was weak from the officials. Would have taken seconds to check that the ball hit the line.

You want to involve the TMO for little things like this? I'd rather the officials just make a decision on the go. They're not using the TMO to check whether a player was offside in regular phase play, either. You win some, you lose some.
Tongans lack cohesion so far. A lot. Welsh looking OK I guess, considering that's probably quite the B-team

Fair enough. Would have been a significant difference in field position though. Anscombe was on the spot, touch judge not up with play.
Half-time and Wales deservedly go in ahead
Tonga 3 - 8 Wales

Good start to the second half from the Tongans, but the Tongan 7 should have seen yellow for the neck roll clearing out the Welsh 8 Navidi in the build up to the penalty.

Touch judge saw that one hit the line 😉
Anscombe having his best game in 'Black'

Penalty to Wales, Davies found his kicking boots.

Agreed. Shit body position going for the line.

Running more upright than Jeremy Thrush

Good debut from Thomas Young.
Along with Dacey and Sam Davies, sons of former Welsh internationals.
-
This one's on a knife edge. Could go either way.
Wales has always struggled against Islander teams on a Friday night 😞
-
That was fucking rubbish from Roberts.
He should be buying all the drinks for that shit.
-
Gareth Davies doing his best Pikey Mike Phillips impression.
Get rid or go for it.
-
Hooray. Finally got one.
Tongan 10 pinged for neck roll.
Davies hits it.

Wales not rolling away at the breakdown.
Penalty is short and wide.

Roberts and Davies with great kicks to pin Tonga deep in their own half.
-
That's piss poor. Penalty advantage and we kick a sniff away.
Davies slots the penalty.
