NRL 2017

[Nepia]

Tonga had a great break out then a repeat set but Konnie lost the ball going for the line.

[Nepia]

A few of the 50/50s going Tongas way. NAS had a play of the ball infringement and then Tonga did two similar in the next set.

Try to Fusitua.

It's carried on in this set as well.

[mimic]

finally the refs call it

[Nepia]

Tonga in for a try to Tupou after a nice inside pass from Konnie.

16-12

[Nepia]

Intercept try to Tui, Tonga about to take the lead.

[Crazy Horse]

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

Why laugh?

Not really a train wreck, this Tonga team was always going to be tough with the defectors.

Leuluai caused that intercept really.

[Nepia]

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 :)).

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

[Nepia]

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

[Crazy Horse]

@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?
