: Once again - well done to our Rugby Boys for taking the game to the Spring Boks yesterday. The game with Samoa was brilliant, yesterday - it was superb. Three things stood out yesterday, 1) the Tongan players have skills, 2) power and 3) decipline. I do believe that is the winning combination for our team - skills, power and decipline. - Senolita Swan -

We can see that the Tongan spirit is truly something special. - Sam Tupou -
