Throwback Thursday: Tonga stun France at RWC 2011 

lol imagine if Tonga had the same funding as these 1st tier nations... the Pacific Island nations would be on top

Tonga will win the Pacific nations cup with Fiji second and Samoa third

Will see about that later today, old man. Tuisova against David Haleifonua is going to be bloody.

Adam annnd Tonga lost 😂😂😂😂

@@Adam-jx8td bruhhh samoa might just beat tonga😂😂😂🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸👌👌👌🙌🙌facts

they didn't make the finals as they lost to canada after this game and France made it through on point differential

biggest upset would have to be south africa vs japan.. But this is definitely close second

Not really. Japan have all the money in the world to produce quality players. Tonga has heart.

Greatest upset is Samoa beating Australia in 2011 (professional age). Although I know Tonga beat Australia back in 1973 when Australia were useless lol

@@petelosuaniu always that samoan guy in tongan videos lol

bruhhhh the game was in the afternoon brisbane time, stop talking shxt. haha

@@princessmoana3705 didn’t realise he’d passed. Sad to hear.

I've been saying that since 2011 😂 he does look like mr beans little brother

The bulgy eyes ye 😂😂😂 Great player though

Yep

Meh Swift So while they were celebrating they were actually throwing away a place in the quarter final. smh. They were celebrating while France were busy getting that bonus point

I think they were just happy to finally beat a tier 1 team in a World Cup.

***** Ah yes, I remember watching it wondering why they weren't trying to get the offensive bonus point. Great win for Tonga, but I do think they were capable of getting that bonus point. Such a shame they had to lose to Canada otherwise they would have qualified. Oh well.

+Jacks Johnson No, because France finished with 11 points to Tonga's 9. It would've still been 10-9.

haaa exla movida saqartvelo icode:)))))

They would have if they had that bonus point

They didn't bcoz France got that last try smh idk why they didn't defend well gg toko

Wtf I’ve never seen this video before

You'll never understand competition

im sure you do lol

The upset is in the fact that France puts millions of dollars in to there world cup campaign, as well as having a fully developed pathway from grass roots rugby to elite level. And having a bigger player pool to select from than the whole population of Tonga itself. And still got thrashed by a "tier 2 nation" which players get paid peanuts to represent there country and put there body on the line. So please stop with the ignorance and trynna discredit Tonga. You don't want the intellectual smoke lad

not mad bro, just trynna help educate those who do not quite understand the disadvantages between the two teams and highlight the significance of a win like this one.

anytime young one
