I went to Teufaiva Stadium (in the gold section as mentioned before) to check out the Tonga v Fiji game. It looked like it was going to be one sided , Fiji were up 24-0 with 16 minutes to play. But Tonga came back but still lost 24-19. There was a chance for a match-tying try but in a very George Gregan-esque try saving tackle, the Fijian fullback Norman Ligiari took out the Tongan winger into the corner post, denying a 24-24 scoreline with the conversion attempt.
Looks like Tonga goes through the repechage now against the winner of the Melanesian (PNG/Solomons/Vanuatu) and Polynesian (Tahiti/Cook Isl/Niue) groups.
Oh well more games for us.
