Ikale Tahi is to much fluffing aroung mayn comon pull up your socks, ima adill support use with mah flagss and all my rugby shirts and scarf and stuff, but mayn try your best, dont be scared of the ball and learn how to pass and communicate with each other. i watch your game against canada, i was there and your could have won but to me your pride took over your professionalism pfftt!! but this last game with France, just try a little bit harder. dont take it wrong but mayn stop fluffing around and start training geezzee.

I can't find any coverage of all the Tongans looking for a fight at the waterfront on Friday night - I wonder why that is?

To the person who commented saying not to compare Samoa to Tonga - your wrong. Theres no need to put it out like that, in the end, we are neighbours in the pacific circle and yet you have the nerve to say that. It doesnt matter whose tongan or samoan, in the end we all support each other. And as for who has done so much for rugby, it dont matter how many samoans and tongans have contributed to rugby. In the end only one team will win. Our supporters will stand strong no matter the outcome. No need to look down on the tongans because this is our culture and im pretty sure yours is just the same. Support for the brothers is all that matters, let the heart be bigger than the head. All support goes to the Ikale Tahi team, dont worry about what others say, only the Lord can judge. Big ups to the other two island teams - Samoa and Fiji. Lets do this guys.
