French fan here , enjoyed this game and hoping that Fidji,Tonga and Samoa will have a great world cup in France and create sensations as European rugby owes a lot to so many great players from these countries!
Fiji have superstars too,Tuisova,Tuisue,and Radradra.If we’re playing in NZ or Aus they would have been picked for the AB or the Wallaby for sure.These players made a big difference on the score board
Love how we are absolustely spoiled with international rugby in world cup years, furst with the six nations and europe cup, then with the championship and pacific nations, and thats all before we even kick off the "summer" warm up series for the world cup! Loving all these matches, congrats to both teams for the effort and priper blistering physicality from wales 🏴
Congratulations to our Fijian brothers for a great win! Tuisova,Tuisue Radradra we’re immense in their attack! Hence the score shows it.For our boys,we are proud of their efforts against an in formidable Fijian side! Good luck to our World Cup preparations,Fiji,Tonga and Samoa
Boooooy we were lucky to come away with the win. Tonga held their own and didn’t stop applying pressure till the last 15 mins. Also shoutout to the Fijian subs who came in with impact 🫡. Moreover, both teams went home with a more clear picture of where they stand in regards to set plays, player positions, combinations and any weaknesses spotted that might need patching up *line outs for example. But that doesn’t steer away from the fact that I have complete confidence in this Fiji team, like the skipper said “we’re taking it one game at a time”. Next focus now is Samoa 💯 #ThemBulas
It brings so much pleasure seeing our Pacific brothers play against each other and executing quality set plays as well as professional physicality. 👏 #LessgoWorldCup2023💯
hats off to the fijian forwards ,what used to their weakness in the past has become one of their strengths now !!! well done to the tongan teams ,to my tongan tokos that was just a brotherly smack ,we still one pacific people and proud
Hopefully there could be a time limitation also on the ball to be cleared from a maul instead of rucks only. The new rules should seriously consider delving into speeding up the maul.
Here I am watching from Europe, hey sport is a great messenger, it's been so nice experiencing the stadium atmosphere and the beautiful nature landscape there :) The match was great too, well done to everyone involved.
Well done to both teams . Best of luck in the remaining warm up mateches not forgetting our Samoan cousins . Best wishes in your prep for the WC . ONE LOVE 🤍❤️💙
Well done Fiji. Good build up for both teams leading up to RWC. Tuisova made Fekitoa look nonexistent. Mind you Tuisova has done that to most of his opposites 😂😂😂
@@loresiorobanakadavu4276 yes we do have the same lists but you didn't understand my comment. Out of the 6 Drua named in the 23 squad 4 were selected in the starting 15. Now do you understand...
Good turn out by the fiji boys i know its their first match ,while tonga had already there match with Australia A..but looking forward to the second match Fiji..good luck both..
I am watching Fiji🇫🇯 vs Georgia🇬🇪 17-12 in the 2023 Rugby World Cup then I won't watch Rugby until Fiji🇫🇯 vs Canada🇨🇦 in the next Rugby Sevens because my name is Jim Apore for (Sing声🇸🇬 ) - Singapore🇸🇬. And will watch for Fiji🇫🇯 vs Tonga🇹🇴 in next Pacific cup too.
I think tonga did well they mave some superstars having superstars don't mean you going to win its about preparation and timing but congrats to fiji for the win i think fiji have a chance against wales or Australia in their pool match
Put it this way any of the three toga fiji or samoa who gets through thats my team ..i love all 3 Nations we should always have it down packed..My true island home God gives the best to the best.
Hopefully come world cup the antidote for the rolling maul will have been properly orchestrated and tested so as to minimise cards issuance. Defense is utmost.
Good win Fiji. Both teams need to figure some things out. Tonga building depth. Fiji figuring out who play 15 cause that your biggest concern and key players departing like Yato and Ratuniyarawa
Apparently those two weeks weren't enough for Tonga despite being stacked with former ABs players, Fiji pretty much worked hard for the win though being a little rusty shaking off dust, cobwebs and everything.
I swear my Tongan people think they can coach Tonga. Pani Ta’e be thankful anyone wants to be coach. Tonga doesn’t pay much at all. You’ll be humbled real quick dealing with what you got to work with.
No one can't coach tonga these players do what they can do to be better. Fiji are more physical and fit I think tonga done really well the players just doing their part what coach tell them to do it takes time some people just putting their 5c saying tonga played terrible and judging them they not a tongan supporter doesn't matter If they come last we gotta support them
Congrats to Fiji. Compared to last year Tonga is 10x the team they were. They really brought the Physicality to the Fijians. Much more entertaining and high quality game compared to Samoa vs Japan.
Tongans needs to focus on winning instead of hurting the opponents, They really manhandled the Fijians this year but it was a different story last year, Fiji out paste them and out-strength them.
Dont need to make it a joke. Kill it bro, even WE got smashed from the Tongas Iron shoulders😅😅. But thats what rugby’s like in the pacifika, its not about winning. Its about showing spirit. And Tonga showed that Today. Go Pacifika🎉
@sdelectiontaskforce3068 exactly kinda like how us islanders support moana pacific that team were last we still have pride in our team just like tonga
Never a dull moment with these two adversaries! Bloody good game. Well done Fiji. Commiserations Tonga.
Always a tough game when pacific island teams meet💪🏽🔥 the World Cup is going to be a banger! Lessgo Toko,Uso, Mana

Expect nothing less from Polynesians.
Tonga have superstars, but they still need time to gel together as a team. Well played Fiji
It's not the superstars it's the coach. Tonga did better under Maka and that team wasn't loaded with superstars.
Fiji is on another level I know Tonga never beat Fiji, cause Fiji is focus on the World Cup as much as Tonga
@@kelepingatuvai9449 To be fair, Tonga last beat Fiji way back in 2018

They always do.
@@hs4a085Fiji vs TONGA Pacific Nations Cup 2022
@@hs4a085not really tbh there a garbage team and did better then expected this game
@@hs4a085last year was a walkover
Actually expected more from Tonga with a stacked team. They beat Aust A which Fiji couldn't do. Still Pacific teams when they play, battle hard
Fiji looking good, they’ve really got a good chance to make the knockouts from their pool. Good luck!
They sure did, even ran England close in that quarterfinal despite famously beating them earlier in their own backyard at Twickers.
As a Fijian fan ,those Tongans got Irons for shoulders
Malie, Tokos!!
despite the loss, you's still did well and made your people proud
like that Tongan girl once said, "Walk On, Walk Strong"
That Tongan defense though was awesome. Good win Fiji
Yes tonga defense was to good even fiji couldn't put 50 points on tonga look at samoa they 40 points on tonga beating tonga by 25 points
Not really. A couple of soft tries made the difference. Have to learn how to defend the rolling maul. Can start by staying on the correct side.
As a Fijian.Wananvu Tonga wananavu Fiji both teams played their hearts out there❤❤
Great 2weeks prep!!!!Tonga 🇹🇴 Great game!Good luck 👍 to both teams for the upcoming Rugby World Cup!
It brings so much pleasure seeing our Pacific brothers play against each other and executing quality set plays as well as professional physicality. 👏 #LessgoWorldCup2023💯
What an awesome, beautiful setting for a great rugby game, between two proud nations.
Kia ora.
hats off to the fijian forwards ,what used to their weakness in the past has become one of their strengths now !!! well done to the tongan teams ,to my tongan tokos that was just a brotherly smack ,we still one pacific people and proud
Congratulation to both team !! They both have the potential to beat tire one teams in the WC
Well played to both teams, great build up to the RWC
Pacifica power
Hopefully there could be a time limitation also on the ball to be cleared from a maul instead of rucks only. The new rules should seriously consider delving into speeding up the maul.
Congratulations to the Fijians , both had a smashing game
Here I am watching from Europe, hey sport is a great messenger, it's been so nice experiencing the stadium atmosphere and the beautiful nature landscape there :)

This competition only growing and getting stronger and stronger in the bear future.
Go Tonga, Fiji and Samoa

Good outing for both teams.this is the world cup build up for .both teams.thry are trying to put their combination together.cheers..
Well done Muntz. Good display!
Heads up Tonga ❤you did play well
Tonga did well for only being together 2weeks and only building ,considering most the Fijian boys play together all year for the drua!
6 out of the 23 are drua players. So it isn't particularly true.
In the starting 15 it was only 4 and 11 from Europe
@@jojibaleilakeba7697 are we looking at the same team list?

@@jojibaleilakeba7697 I stand corrected. 🤙🤙🤙
Fijian forward play has improved so much in recent times.
5:22 what a scared guys, make the tackle!
The amount of depth in this Fiji Squad is quite decent. Considering that an ex All Black couldn't even make the match day 23.
who is the former All Black?
@@yemaek Seta Tamanivalu
Which is why emphasis is on the frontrow, flyhalves, and fullbacks due to depth issues and the Drua is helping alot with that.
You know your gonna get a real physical game wen 2 pacific nations come together good game congrats to our taganes 💯💙 vanaka
Good game from both teams. Some solid runs and hits.
Thank you for the highlights my G✌️🙏
🤝
Good competition both teams , look forward to seeing them bulldoze in the world cup❤
The commentators made this feel like a soccer match
This game had some seriously huge hits in it.
Caleb Muntz... Is looking like a solid 10 to take to RWC
Love the game, two teams are so strong be blessed
very good highlights all points are shown how they are scored try , conversions and penalities
As a 🇫🇯, the Tokos were a tough bunch 🇹🇴🔥💯good game 🤙
Fiji....everyone's second favourite team in the northern hemisphere
Having played rugby with Fijians they are great boys love their booze too
Good turn out by the fiji boys i know its their first match ,while tonga had already there match with Australia A..but looking forward to the second match Fiji..good luck both..
Some absolute monsters in this game on both sides. Entertaining game.
Big hits everywhere
Love seeing the Pacific teams go at it big hits and Flare . But love at the end of it
Good game Tonga..
Great performance by both teams. Pleased to watch a valiant effort by Tonga. Malo.
Good game from both teams. Just have to make sure to fine tune a few things so that when the RWC comes, they can perform even better.
Great match. The Pacific Islanders look like they have the form for an upset or 2 in the WC.
Depend on ref mate
Another great game in the Pacific Nations Cup.
I only support 3 teams Tonga Fiji and Samoa. Vinaka boys great game, malo e tau kautma
will be happy to see any of our island nations do good in the RWC 🇹🇴 ALLDAY but Fiji too good and strong!
Great game!
Let Tonga gel together and build up the strength and see how much of a powerhouse team they are! 👌🏽
Great game, well played by both teams.
Great game Fiji
Big hits from 🇹🇴 But Well done fiji 🇫🇯 👏🏼👏🏼
MOTM JOSUA TUISOVA,bro completely destroyed Fekitoa

Where can I watch the full game replay?
Good to see we're starting to have a few options in the crucial number 10. Vinaka Caleb
Congratulations for Tonga👍👍
well done Fiji 🇫🇯. much better than the japan v samoa match
36 must be fijis 🇫🇯 lucky number last year they met 36 - 0 ,this year 36- 20 😂😂 absolute hum dinger of a game no love loss between neighbours
Dang those hits though
Good effort to come back from being down early.
I am watching Fiji🇫🇯 vs Georgia🇬🇪 17-12 in the 2023 Rugby World Cup then I won't watch Rugby until Fiji🇫🇯 vs Canada🇨🇦 in the next Rugby Sevens because my name is Jim Apore for (Sing声🇸🇬 ) - Singapore🇸🇬.

Tonga play well.good game 🎉
This Fijian side will qualify for the RWC'24 quarters🤞
They sure did in rwc2023
Hardluck Tonga congrats Fiji.
All that training together up those sand dunes paid off for fiji 🇫🇯 good game by both hard out
Tonga is a threat come the RWC 2023
If they played like they did today, they will be in the 1st rnd
I wish unfortunately Tonga will be remaining 4th out of 5th World Cup matches
Tonga can't play 80 minutes the second half they out of gas
I think tonga did well they mave some superstars having superstars don't mean you going to win its about preparation and timing but congrats to fiji for the win i think fiji have a chance against wales or Australia in their pool match
That was such a tough game. Good game Fiji. On to the next one Tonga
Satish should only stick to Local Rugby commentary 😅
Hearing him commentating is like watching the Skipper Cup 😂
That's the one issue with him on internationals 😂
Bring Graham Eden back, I know the real Graham had passed on but the comedian from Nadroga.😅😅😅 a pro imitator.
Get William Tabuya 😅
Bruh this game looks like a battlefield fought between two warrior factions great footy!
In some parts it was almost a violent games Alot of mistakes plenty to work on from both teams but some very good signs... Vinaka malo both sides🇫🇯🇹🇴
Put it this way any of the three toga fiji or samoa who gets through thats my team ..i love all 3 Nations we should always have it down packed..My true island home God gives the best to the best.
