Tonga in again. They're carving up.

24-16

Bit worried the Kiwis are just standing around and not talking things out.

@Donsteppa I'm a Kiwis fan so find it hard to laugh, while agreeing with your main point. (I've answered a post that is above my post :)).

@nepia I laughed when that happened. Kiwi train wreck coming up?

Why laugh?

Because I’m not sure who the bigger joke is - the Warriors or David Kidwell...

Don't know to be honest.

Who are the Kiwis likely to play in the quarters when/if they lose this?

according to wiki, Fiji
but they'll face Australia in the semis

RTS in for a try. Going to be a cracking last 10 minutes.

@mimic I thought I heard Fiji earlier but didn't think that would be right for some reason.

[mimic]

Tongas penalty at the start of the game looks like the right move now

I've heard different things from commentators, but ive learnt not to listen to them anymore.. i have more faith in wiki

TBH, might not be too bad facing an underdone Aussie team in the semis, they wont have had a hard match in a while.

Will the cops deploy bigger numbers in South Auckland tonight if Tonga win or if Tonga lose?

[mimic]

SJ sucks

[Nepia]

Tonga in again!!!

[Nepia]

Fusitua was probably the second biggest loss to Tonga after JT - although I didn't realise we'd feel it this directly.

Feel sorry for the Kiwis players, not their fault the coach is an idiot. Although if any of them did make the decision to ban Bromwich then fair enough they deserve it.

[Higgins]

This might be the biggest crowd invasion at full time seen in a fair while!

If he’s not the most overrated NZ sportsperson he’s certainly the most over paid.

I'm no SJ defender normally, but I don't think we can lay the blame on him for this loss.

Congrats to Tonga.

[Stockcar86]

Not many people getting much sleep in South Auckland tonight with lots of cars driving around beeping horns

[Higgins]

@stockcar86 Think the expressions of support for the Mate Ma'a we have seen so far will be massively eclipsed by those that will be taking place from now until goodness knows when.

[Nepia]

TBH, even with the defections I thought we'd easily beat Tonga. Not sure what happened at half time ... Kidwell's team talk obviously didn't have the desired effect.

Leuluai has been a good servant of NZ rugby but he doesn't offer any more at hooker than an out of shape Luke.

NZ definitely have Fiji and Tonga get Lebanon or France.
