To see a small nation like Tonga, the only island nation to beat the 4 heavyweights, is a big win for the Island boys. Lets go Tonga.
Beating England at anything is one of life's great joys. Congratulations to the Kingdom of Tonga. From Australia.
Tonga’s first ever win vs England 🇹🇴🔥
Was there and loved it. The Tongan supporters are fantastic, as was the team today.
Tongans supporters are the best! I know most of them flew to Perth to watch the game which is crazy.
Lots of love and respect to all Tongans from here in the USA! 🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴
One thing about us Tongans is lose or win, we give thanks to God. Thank for him that we achieved this win. It was a good win against england. GOD BLESS.
Congrats my Tongan tokos 👏🏽, from Kenya 🇰🇪
The pack behind Katoa is a dream for a half back. Watch out if they gel even more

This team on their day can beat anyone. One of the most impressive wins I’ve ever seen from DONGA!! Keep stacking dubs, boys 🇹🇴
Hopaate had a good game today
Toa fan here, Malo Tonga 👏 Foketi at dummy half was impressive. Can’t believe it was the first time he’s played 9, did a great job. Levi Hopoate had a great defensive game! Forward pack led the way and young guns Izzy Katoa and Robert Toia were elite. Well done Toko’s - Sai pe 👏
Tonga weathered absolutely everything England chucked at them. The biggest difference with the NRL and Superlegaue, is the desire to defend your own line with everything.
Tui and koula are gonna build a good combination on the left side with BIG jojo on daa wing DEADLY . Nice game from daa MANLY SEA EAGLES BOYZ
