As the 'Ikale Tahi prepares for its third game of the Rugby World Cup meeting Japan this evening, 21 September at the Northland Events Centre, Whangarei, (8:30pm Tonga time) 'Ikale Tahi Supporters world-wide are right behind their team.

The game this evening is the second to last chance for the 'Ikale Tahi to progress beyond their pool games and to compete in the quarter final of the Rugby World Cup.

A victory over Japan would qualify Tonga for the next Rugby World Cup, and a victory with a minimum of four tries will give the 'Ikale Tahi a Bonus Point and a chance of challenging France for a place in the quarter final.

It will be a tough battle this evening as both the 'Ikale Tahi and Japan have played two games each, and both have not won a game yet. The 'Ikale Tahi lost to the All Blacks 10- 41, and to Canada 20-25, while Japan went down to France 47-21 and 83-7 to the All Blacks.

The saying goes: "When the going gets tough, the tough get going". The 'Ikale Tahi supporters worldwide are still right behind their team and hoping for a win tonight. From Vava'u to Japan itself, 'Ikale Tahi fans are still calling, "Go 'Ikale Tahi, fly!"
