Quote from the NZ Herald...

The Tongan community have been gearing up for their team's big game against the cup holders since their unexpected win against Samoa last week.

If Tonga (population 117,000) beat England (50 million) they'll be on their way to the quarter-finals.

And even if they lose, they'll still be heroes to the 50,841-strong New Zealand Tongan community.

A David vs Goliath match up - if Tonga takes this game down Auckland will be heaving on Sat night.

That cross-field kick from Wilkinson for the first try was something else.

I went into this world cup very downbeat as I knew England were rank outsiders to defend their title but I think the standard of rugby and the competitive level of most of the teams has made it one of the best world cups so far, with the potential to be the best if we see some classic QF and SFs and  a great final.

Very few matches have been one sided affairs and teams like Tonga and Fiji have really stepped up their 15-a-side rugby.

However England do, I'll have really enjoyed this world cup.

The Wales v Fiji match is developing into yet another classic. Loving it!

Italy have improved alot being involved in the 6 nations has brought them on faster than would of happenend otherwise

personaly i would love to see a 2nd tier euro league set up with promotion and relegation into the 6 nations

even if it meant scotland getting relegated every now and then to play the likes of georgia romania ukraine

Hopefully Scotland can push on now. Ireland have a big ask tomorrow, But knowing Ireland
they pull a green rabbit out the bag.

Lets hope Eng knock out the Aussies next week.
