All Blacks v Tonga
-
@taniwharugby Is Frizell fit again? I mentioned when the AB squad was announced that Plumtree said he liked Jacobson as a 6.

Tonga have named their squad for the test against the All Blacks:
Some big names there…..I’ve never heard of any of them but their names are big.

Fozzie and the boys may as well try and break the record, is it still 102-0 ?
Yes it is. That was the game in Albany in 2002 which was shown on Sky Sport 1 earlier this week. Other scores that I can recall are
2019 NZ 92 - 07 Tonga (NZ played with 14 for the last 15 mins)
2003 NZ 91 - 07 Tonga
2011 NZ 41 - 10 Tonga
2015 NZ 49 - 07 Tonga -

Just imagine Foster's game plan and coaching being so shit that the AB's DON'T put a cricket score on Tonga ...
Now that might be a way to get him fired! Without that, I'm pretty sure his contract extension until 2023 is already a done deal!
oh. Crap.

2015 NZ 49 - 07 TongaIt was 2000 (Doug Howlett's debut from memory).
ABs also played Tonga in the 99 RWC (45-9 ABs). I remember there being a lot of borderline tackles (even for those days) by the Tongans that day who were looking to unsettle Jonah and co.

Troy Flavell ran in three tries too.

Think I've heard of three of those guys, and thought Kapeli was a loosie.
