Hooked I think. Doesn't look like he is coming back.

[The Greenhouse]

77th min No try for Great Britain according to the referee, Jermaine McGillvary drops the ball over the line in the corner! Bunker confirms... NO TRY.

[edwahu]

How did they fail to score that lol.

[Rick]

NZ have put a lot of work into slowing down the ruck. Got away with a lot.

MATCH REPORT: Foran injured as Tuivasa-Sheck inspires Kiwis to win over Lions

Traditional Maori welcome for Australia and Tonga happening on field... now the teams head out onto the field. The crowd is largely red, the ends were full, but a lot of those fans appear to have moved to the sidelines. Huge reception for Tonga, red and white flags everywhere. What a sight!

First Advance Australia Fair... now the Tongan national anthem.

[The Greenhouse]

Now Canberra Raiders hooker Siliva Havilii leads Tonga in the Sipi Tau. Incredible!



Tonga kick off... we are underway in the first half.

[dubby]

I love watching that

3rd min Nick Cotric takes a great Tongan kick to the corner, but he was lined up by Jennings and taken over the sideline. Nothing Cotric could do to avoid that.

[The Greenhouse]

18th min TRY TONGA to Will Hopoate under the posts! Just went straight down the middle from dummy half. Tonga have had a great start! Converted.

papa looks a bit portly ........

BJ also looked like he was enjoying the buffet

[The Greenhouse]

27th min TRY AUSTRALIA to Jack Wighton close to the posts! It is his first Test try for Australia! They are checking for obstruction, but Tedesco ran right through the line and obstructed no one. Big run and offload from Haas for Wighton. Mitchell converts.

So essentially it's a stock standard post-NRL season for the two.

[The Greenhouse]

The teams are back on the park... the Kangaroos kick off to start the second half!

[The Greenhouse]

45th min Incredible from Tonga! They are held up in the corner, but nearly scored! High tackle from Tedesco on Staggs in his attempt to score the try... this could be a penalty try. That's foul play. Penalty only.

[The Greenhouse]

46th min TRY TONGA to Jennings... they had Australia shot on their left. Wighton went in and Cotric was stranded. Kotoni Staggs out wide... just misses the conversion.

Australia 12
Tonga 10

[greeneyed]

THIS ... is a Test!

[The Greenhouse]

52nd min Now we have a dust up! Tonga's defence is brutal and has forced Mitchell into error.

[The Greenhouse]

54th min TRY TONGA to Tevita Pangai Junior! This is INCREDIBLE! Tonga lead again! Katoa great pass! Kotoni Staggs gets the goal!

Tonga 16
Australia 12

[Postman Pat]

What a kick by Jurbo!!!

[Billy Walker]

Konrad Hurrell having a blinder!

[greeneyed]

Cherry Evans makes an error now.

[The Greenhouse]

63rd min Cotric taken into touch, they lifted him off the ground so it should have been a penalty to the Kangaroos, but you have to give it to Tonga. They are desperate. This is a CLASSIC match!

[Billy Walker]

Havilli is a spud!

[The Greenhouse]

16 to go... Siliva Havili kicks out on the full. Now the Kangaroos get six again in the red zone!
