This is definitely the game to make that prediction

[Tim]

These are some nice training moves.

Training is harder than this

[taniwharugby]

ABs even looking less enthused...just hope we get through this without any injuries (to either side)

[Mackerzzzz]

The only notable players in tongas side are Manu and kapeli

24-0 not even 9 minutes. Almost butchered by Tupea

By Jordan you mean who passed to the two All Blacks near the wing covered by defence and ignored the unmarked three All Blacks to his left.

@mackerzzzz Takalua is a quality 9, been playing in Europe for years.

Yes but international quality?...

FFS Bridge is so rubbish, didn't even draw his man

@antipodean

I honestly assume that they’ll just try to put the ball in the new guy’s hands, because otherwise that was completely inexplicable

[Yeetyaah]

Hopeless.

he looks like he's afraid of the Tongans, just going to ground or shovelling on ball to avoid any real contact/tackle.
Is there history?

Although I suppose the other two aren't eithet

[taniwharugby]

@mackerzzzz he's thier captain and been playing for Tonga for years.

How many are they missing from Europe?

Always a hiding to nothing, and then they bring in club players.

Hopefully he is

Our 12 isn't perfect. DMac and Richie look so slick and fast against these club players but George "Did you drop a hankerchief? I'll pick it up for you and fall over" Bridge is trying to keep it close.

[Yeetyaah]

5 mins with no tries? I want my money back.
