The wife and I had a great time last night at this game, it was awesome - my best experience at the Cake Tin since All Black Tests a few years ago, back in Tana’s captaincy - there was just such a positivity- inflected edge to it all; pressure & banter but in good spirit. So close, and though Wales sprayed two more chances to win it, I am still surprised that Barnes did not go to the TMO for that kick. This is the World Cup FFS and that game’s result has significant impact on the whole draw, definitely the pool.

Preview: Tonga v Canada

Preview: Tonga v Canada | RWC - Rugby World Cup 2011 | Scoop.it

Canada have named the same team that lost a warm-up match to the Australian Barbarians a couple of weeks ago, which is in direct contrast to the way Tonga has approached this match. Only four players remain from the team that started against New Zealand and all four wear different jerseys; Finau Maka moves to blindside, Kurt Morath to fullback, Siale Piutau to centre and, in a bizarre selection, Taniela Moa goes to fly-half – a position he has never filled in major matches. Maka was under a cloud before the New Zealand match with lower leg problems and left the field early, but he has again been named to lead the side.

All change for Tonga

All change for Tonga | RWC - Rugby World Cup 2011 | Scoop.it

Tonga on Monday announced an all-new line-up for their Rugby World Cup game against Canada with 11 personnel changes and the remaining four players moved to different positions.



Seven new forwards and four backs -- the most players Tonga has ever changed between World Cup matches -- were drafted in, while the lone survivor in the pack, captain Finau Maka, was moved from openside to blindside flanker.

Taniela Moa, scrum-half for Tonga's 41-10 defeat by the All Blacks, was named at fly-half, Siale Piutau shifts from the wing to outside centre and Kurt Morath moves from fly-half to full-back.


Tonga will face Pool A rivals Canada on Wednesday in Whangarei, north of Auckland.
