I think they'd have been better off doing probable v possibles and then have Tonga play the Maori and/or more likely the super sides sans thier stars.
Yep. This doesn’t help ever team.
Is 150 on?
I doubt it - perhaps 100-120. The ABs are doing a lot of running.

Yeah but the bench will come on really early and the ABs will switch off.

Pacific Cup: Maori, Japan, Tonga, Samoa (Fiji)
When Japan enters the Rugby Championship with Fiji, let the USA and Canada in.

Fuck I hope not.
Let’s kick everything back them and let them play while we just practise defence…

@machpants they already look switched off in thier body language and energy

@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.
Well ten of their 2019 starting team are players still playing in europe
26 of their 2019 squad are not available/ playing

Not sure if I want to watch the rest of this.
Not learning anything we didn’t know.
Only point of interest is if Bridge can play himself out of the team.Same

I know I'm normally a huge fan of his, but DMac still looks great and shit within seconds even against this team.
-
That may have been a maiden minute.

Only point of interest is if Bridge can play himself out of the team.Fingers crossed. He has as much impact with ball in hand as a fly hitting a windshield

This is awful. The AB's would probably get more opposition and a better run-out by playing the Enfield 2nd XV.
Classic example of the club/national issue needing to be sorted.

No this is down to quarantine, without that they'd have most of their euro stars

I think it’s on if that’s what they wanted
Just depends if they want to practice other stuff rather than just running in try after try
