Incredibly humbling and encouraging to see so many fans so unbelievably gracious in defeat, and a controversial defeat in the semi final of a world cup as well. What a beautiful peoples.
The song that the Tongan fans sang brought smiles to my face...its an unique south pacific thing. Kudos to the Tongan fans. Ofa atu from the solomon islands
then tell me how you can call them beautiful people and best fans by far when they been brawling on our streets, fighting with other people, assaulting police officers, killing dogs, rioting, holding up traffic, acting obnoxious and beeping down our streets and protesting.
zionic8 4:18 you only have to look at the reaction & confusion amongst the Poms to realise that the call was not right. Half were clapping the other half rubbing their forehead thinking they had just lost. Their reaction was priceless and unconvincing. My favorite moment out of the whole tournament was when Burgess kneels down and pats Fafita on the head and says "Sorry mate we've just robbed you out of a final".
Dan M - I think Tongans are very gutted about the last minute and the ref's decision. We aren't really fans like other "fans" in that to some degree we are all inter-related to each other and to the players. So the fact that players like Fifita are left sobbing at the end of it hurts as if it was a family member .... hence the marches in Auckland ... and Tongans venting on social media. These players who opted to play for Tonga for $30 will end up ahead in the long run. Quite sure that for the rest of their lives and possibly their descendants - they will get $$ from random Tongans on the street. As for the English team - I have tickets to a final that I am boycotting. All the best to them. They seem lovely. 😁😁🤗
Actually I just remembered something .... the hymn that was sung at the end and all of the hymns sung were actually translated/composed by an Englishman by the name of Egan Moulton. He was a missionary back in the 1800s with obviously great linguistic ability. Translated the Bible.. made new hymns and translated older hymns into Tongan. That's why when the English fans sang Guide me I though Great Jehovah (bread of heaven) Tongans joined in lol.... still hurts but all good
This could have been one of the most wonderful and memorable game, but when you watch the actual game, try to count how many times England gets the ball in the first half, forcing the Tongan team to play way more defense than England. Pay attention to the crap calls by the ref and you will start to see that there was no way a Tier-Two team was going to be allowed to make it to the FINALS. Tongan team knew this bias and started to get frustrated! Who wouldn't??? Not hating and not blaming England either. This is something much bigger than that! The RLIF already determined the outcome before the game started. SIMPLE AS THAT. #Good Luck to England and nothing but love for the English gentlemen....but this game was rigged and it had nothing to do with England.
Silly comment Lava as in no way is Tonga a second tier nation with that squad and the ref favoured Tonga more than England, the last call was correct why cant you lot except that?
What are you on about? The Rugby League called Tonga a Two Tier Nation.As for anything else you are talking about...This game is over and done with. Why can't you accept that? lol
NO OVER ALL ENGLAND WERE BEST SIDE SWITCH OFF IN LAST FEW MINS REF CALL CORRECT CLEAR KNOCK ON BY TONGA ENGLAND PLAYER HIT ARM NOT BALL ENGLAND DOMINATED MOST OF MATCH TONGA ONE TO WATCH IN FUTURE
Even the england players stopped celebrating. Aounded like they were saying no its a strip ..... tonga did wonders for the cup. There fans surely the best in world. Pacific power is here to stay.
Loved this video! Amazing players on both sides, but I must say the England had speed.🔥 The game was amazing. MMT🇹🇴 People need to be more respectful, and show some sportsmanship. Ofa Atu! ❤
Great game, in my opinion the ref made the right call. Don’t hate on the poms my toko’s. We lost the game! It’s a 80min game, you can’t turn up and play 8mins and try and chase down a 20 point lead,even though we nearly did!
You're wrong, The protest resulted in Matt Cecchin being removed from reffing the Final :) The power of the fans. I admit they could have moved on but this was for ALL SOUTH PACIFIC ISLANDERS RIGHTS to be treated as equals and not be treated lesser because of the color of our skin or our lack of resources. This Game reeks of Greed!
Lavaflows2 He wasn't going to be reffing it anyway!!...The point is it's a bit over the top all this carrying on just accept the loss "be humble, sit down"
Seriously ? Yous are rejoicing hes not reffing the final ? which was already not set in stone and was a selection from a few refs contending already. What a waste of time. I cant believe yous are getting off on that. He made fucking one call at the end of the game and it was the correct call. Are all Tongans a bunch of sore loosers ?. Thats what I am learning from this world cup. undoing how good they performed with petty bad sportsmanship. But I guess if claiming you got him fired, maybe you can sleep better at night or whatever.
Did I say I was rejoicing? And I was not talking to you either. I am Tongan and English so back off! Ben Dover said to get over it because it does not change crap. I am stating a fact, so please take your ridiculous assumptions out of here! Don't jump the gun without referring to the TMO imbecile! LOL
Praise the Lord that's what you call the Eiffel Tower eventually we won the game we already won no matter what because Jesus die for taulanga the game is over even though we lost but we won we won the race so may we give him praise because of what he did on the cross may the Lord be with us on the next game aloha

Of a atu
Bruh I'm from the states but man! The tongans fans are loyal AF! 🖒🔥🔥👌👌
Shoutout to the Tongan Fans man... Best Supporters right there. They made the world cup so fun to watch
Beautiful people the Tongans.... best fans by far .
Bob The Fish Wilki you OBVIOUSLY do not live in New Zealand
Proud Kiwi i do.. and they are the best fans lol
then tell me how you can call them beautiful people and best fans by far when they been brawling on our streets, fighting with other people, assaulting police officers, killing dogs, rioting, holding up traffic, acting obnoxious and beeping down our streets and protesting.
you need to keep up with current affairs mate.....
Proud Kiwi your just making stuff up mate....
How cool is it to see the Tongan supporters embracing the English. So cool.
Really cool and just shows how special Rugby league is
Did the media show it.
I was expecting a riot but really good to see the Tongan supporters embracing the English players at the end.
It was clever crowd control. Someone with the microphone started a hymn and we don't generally riot when there's a hymn being sung lol

England should withdraw from the final and give it to Tonga.

Glad I was there to witness this game atmosphere was crazy beautiful rugby league at its best 💯🔥
Love Tonga and England, just hate the ref
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C fun fact rugby, rugby league, cricket, netball are more popular sports in New zealand
@M idiot comment of the century 😂😂, who cares?????
In English but I think the Tongan fans are amazing

This reply might be late but yours is a truly real & straight up comment and I hear what your saying .. even if I'm not Tongan !
NO OVER ALL ENGLAND WERE BEST SIDE SWITCH OFF IN LAST FEW MINS REF CALL CORRECT CLEAR KNOCK ON BY TONGA ENGLAND PLAYER HIT ARM NOT BALL ENGLAND DOMINATED MOST OF MATCH TONGA ONE TO WATCH IN FUTURE

That crowd was electric it was so loud I don’t watch rugby but that was a crazy atmosphere
Sam you the man... peace out.. MMT proud
No matter what. This is the meaning of Mate Ma’a Tonga. To leave everything on the field of battle for ones nation. To Die For Tonga. 🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴
Even the england players stopped celebrating. Aounded like they were saying no its a strip ..... tonga did wonders for the cup. There fans surely the best in world. Pacific power is here to stay.

Tonga won in everyone's eyes but the refs the whole World Cup was planned from the start Tonga and Fiji won

It's possible for an Island team to take out the world cup this year as long as it's not Australia. 😅
I like the look of the england faces on the bench when Fifita broke through the line. It was an "oh shit" then "relief"

Build a bridge and get over it! Your protest ain't gonna change jakshiz, the two best teams are in the final this week
Well said.
You're wrong, The protest resulted in Matt Cecchin being removed from reffing the Final :) The power of the fans. I admit they could have moved on but this was for ALL SOUTH PACIFIC ISLANDERS RIGHTS to be treated as equals and not be treated lesser because of the color of our skin or our lack of resources. This Game reeks of Greed!
Lavaflows2 He wasn't going to be reffing it anyway!!...The point is it's a bit over the top all this carrying on just accept the loss "be humble, sit down"

I am stating a fact, so please take your ridiculous assumptions out of here! Don't jump the gun without referring to the TMO imbecile! LOL
Shame Tonga 😂😂😂
you must be kiwi hahaha
you must be adam blair 😂🙈
Praise the Lord that's what you call the Eiffel Tower eventually we won the game we already won no matter what because Jesus die for taulanga the game is over even though we lost but we won we won the race so may we give him praise because of what he did on the cross may the Lord be with us on the next game aloha
