Samoa VS Tonga
Man what a match this is going to be! People say that this will be the clash of the entire tournament. The Samoan team are really strong because we have Ali Lautiti at second row and Ben Roberts at half back. Francis Meli at wing and Matt Utai at wing and Willie Talau as well. But my uncle is in the Samoan Rugby League team and is the captain!! His name is Nigel Vagana he is a center or a half back. He played for the Warriors in the 1996 and 1997 people say Toa Samoa.Toa means Brave . Did You know that the Toa Samoa Team have the same uniform as my team. Man I Just Can't WAIT FOR THE MATCH. GO TOA SAMOA!!!!

There's really a feeling of pride for Pacific students about this game, and I hope both teams do their countries proud. I guess it would be the same for me when Waikato play Auckalnd at Rugby. When Waikato beat Auckland like they did this year, by a lot, I get very happy! I can't imagine what I would feel like if I had realitives playing - even more exciting. Hopefully you'll be allowed to watch it. Great descriptive work as always.
Your right Tanielu, this is a highly anticipated matchup and has generated a HUGE amount of interest not only amongst the Pacific community but rugby league fans in general. Never before have these 2 teams met when they have been at full strength with the majority of their professional players available for selection. There will be a lot of proud Tongans and Samoans in front of the telly tonight cheering on their heroes! Its a shame that one team will have to lose. Can the Toa Samoa emulate their Under 10 team and win??? Lets wait and see!
