[Stargazer]

17 - 14 France after 48 minutes. Who would have thought?! Hope Tonga can keep this up!

What an awesome try from Tonga!! They're still in this game.

That and TJP's effort are the tries of the tournament so far. Sort of thing to watch over and over again

[Stargazer]

@Victor-Meldrew I'm sure there are a few more. I've watched so much rugby since the start of the RWC (RWC games, Mitre 10 Cup, NZ Schools), that I can't remember them all anymore.

[Damo]

Why are Tonga paying $16 at the TAB? Just slipped a sneaky $7 on.

[Rapido]

Wtf does Takalua do attacking box kicks, yet uses Faiva to clear their own line? For net gains of 0 to 10 meters.

[Damo]

On replay that might have been harsh. If the ball was out, then the halfback's fingers were on the ball and he was probably fair game to be tackled.

[MiketheSnow]

Tonga will blow this.

Dumb is as dumb does.

[ACT Crusader]

Another kick chase and gather by Raka, in traffic.

[ACT Crusader]

Surely a knock on by France on that cross field kick?

[ACT Crusader]

That was clear during live play.

[Bones]

That really didn't look clearly forward on replay?

Thank fuck for that

[Stargazer]

Glad they decided to have a look at it.

[Machpants]

I almost want France to win cos I have a Wolverine inspired Man crush on Medard's chops

[Stargazer]

I'd love another upset. I don't think it's going to happen, but it would be awesome.

[Rapido]

T2s just can't cope with modern T1 rush defences. Tonga have looked best when they've taken route 1.

Also think an old fashioned 'up and under ' would be a good tactic for some T2s.

[Stargazer]

Yesssssss!

[ACT Crusader]

The drop goal is on kids....

[Stargazer]

Holy sh*t, I never thought this would be so close!

[ACT Crusader]

Argh couldn’t secure the restart.

Not a bad effort by Tonga.
