Editor,

WOW !!! The Tongan turned up to party at the Capital yesterday (1 Oct) and they did that with no problem at all. The Wellington weather, rain, cold, windy snow did not deterred Tongans from all over the world, and even from the Kingdom of Tonga for bringing to the Capital of New Zealand, the Tongan weather, warm , calm, happy and cheerful . . . Happy Happy Tonga!!!

It was a sold out game and even a member from the Royal family was there at the Cake Tin, together with Tongans from all over NZ who made it to the Game and enjoyed an incredible Rugby match that lots of people are still talking about, a very good game of rugby that they haven't seen for a long time in Wellington.

I am sure at the end of the Rugby World Cup the world will know the colour of the Tongan Flag and we Tongans for the last few weeks here in New Zealand were proud to wave the Tongan Flag all the time and stick it on our cars, and the other countries copy us and do the same.

As a proud Tongan in Wellington I have to say thanks to all the supporters from all over New Zealand, and even coming for the Kingdom of Tonga to join in, to cheer for our 'Ikale Tahi which they did us proud not only yesterday (1 Oct) but since they have been here for the World Cup.
