I appreciate Tonga are fielding their strongest side possibly ever and New Zealand is down on troops.

But I still think NZ have the talent to win this one.... as someone mentioned elsewhere, games like Tonga v Samoa will probably be exciting. .

Apparently Tonga is paying about $40 to win the whole thing... unless Cronk and Smith find a apostrophe in their names and defect, Australia should be pretty safe

With a good coach NZ wins easy. Just look at the spines. Tongas halves and hooker are rubbish.

But NZ don't have a good coach so who knows.

yeah people thought samoa were going to beat england last yr, and it wasn't close

 

[FaceBreaker]

NZ will win - looks good on paper but the class of RTS and Johnson will come through.

 

[Freakzilla]

That Tongan pack has a chance to dominate that Kiwi pack

 

[Phalangist]

Nz because tonga don't have a first grade halfback

Simply put Tonga need to bash their way through this one
