Editor,

Congratulations to the Tongan side for not just a good performance but for playing with guts and pride. Fiji and Samoa have much to learn from Tonga's performance. Fiji played a second string side against Australia and this indicated their lack of courage and honuor. Instead Tonga took the game to the Springboks by fielding their best line up. Samoa appeared over confident against Tonga and when the pressure mounted they played hard but the Tongans played smart rugby. Without a doubt Tonga has got to be the best Pacific team at the world cup and one can hope for the best against England. Go Tonga go.
