Still a strong side, however pcking kahui on the wing is an interesting choice, back them to put 60 past the tongans

If the AB'S think that they are going to run over Tonga, they have another thing coming. I cant help but feel that the best team needs to play all the time or as much as possible. You want those guys to be battle ready come the play-offs.
We'll have to see how this pans out on Friday.

The match vs the AB's is the Tongans Cup Final. As in past tournaments, they will leave it all on the field. The AB's should have too much steam and end up 40 odd 20 winners. The Tongans will then "disappear " and ship 100's against their other opposition.

Based on their last RWC performance as well as the players they have at their disposal, I would hardly call it as that easy.
In case nobody noticed, they too are playing a home RWC along with Samoa and Fiji.
