Tonga v Hong Kong (RWC qualifier)

[Stargazer]

Can't find this game in the Sky Tv guide, so not sure whether it's televised in NZ.
It will probably be livestreamed on World Rugby's website or YouTube channel.

From the Oceania Rugby FB page:

That last link goes to Cluch tv.
I just read on the Hong Kong Rugby page that fans in Hong Kong can watch that channel for free, while other regions have to pay.

I caught up with Tongan boys at the local mall today 😀 Damn Tameifuna is a beast. Made me feel tiny.

I’ll be at game on Saturday.

Tonga 20 Hong Kong 8. Not sure if it is fulltime yet. Takalua 2 tries. Lopeti Timani from Wallabies on bench.

@ARHS It's 30 - 8 now. Not even close to full time, yet.

It's going to be a real hiding.

@Stargazer. Cheers. I expected a bigger margin. Coverage and updates have been hard to find. Tried T2 forum which is usually all over it.
And just saw that World Rugby finally put up something indicating a progress score and not final score..

[Stargazer]

@ARHS That world rugby page and the Oceania Rugby twitter feed are livescoring.

[ARHS]

@Stargazer World rugby did not show as live score earlier which made me wonder if it was fulltime. Do not use twitter. Glad you do. Yes Tonga running away with it. Looks like USA v Portugal will be a real humdinger for the last spot at RWC! Kenya and Hong Kong way off the pace.

Full time:

Tonga 44 - 22 Hong Kong

Watched bits of it. Tonga too big, too strong. HK were plucky but never really in it after the first 20.

Their winger has gas tho
