It doesn't matter who got robbed or who won....a win is a win, at the end of the day tonga won and PNG lost people complaining won't change a thing anyways congratulation my pacific brothers mate ma'a tonga for the win and to my country man there is always a next time stay positive. #larim_kumul_fly
In every social media platform, I saw PNGeans and Tongans battle it out with words,,,,SHAME ON ALL OF YOU,,, DISGRACE TO SEE PACIFIC ISLANDERS ON A COLD WAR OVER GAME ONE OF POOL 'D'. Look at this Pacific Islanders: 1. Hunters won the 2017 ISC GF. 2. Mate Ma'a thrashed the Kangaroos. 3. The Batis thrashed the Kiwis. 4. Kumuls thrashed the GB Lions Pacific Island rugby league had come a long way to where it is today. We all must otherwise rally together coz for so long the rugby league world thought that us Pacific Islanders aren't capable of beating the super powers. #Mate Ma'a had won though they had deficiencies and let's except it. #Kumuls lost but could easily win the game coz they scored more tries with many being disallowed, few calls didn't go our way so let's accept the defeat. Fixes: 1. Mate Ma'a. Your spine ( 6, 7, 9 ) should start getting to know themselves better in all the pool games before advancing to the finals. I haven't seen the giraffe ( Tupou ) in the air much in the first game. 2. Kumuls. Our spine ( 6, 7, 9) is ok, it's just our defence. You can't just allow someone to walk through a huge yawning gap and score. If both teams can tidy up their loop holes than they'll both walk through to the QF. Papua New Guineans, Fijians, Tongans and Samoans we all have one big task that lies ahead of us and that task is to HELP OUR ISLAND BROTHER ( COOK ISLANDS ) TO REACH THE STAGE WHERE WE ARE TODAY. 💥Laikim Yupela Olgeta💥 💪 Cheers 💯
Just the kind of game I like as a neutral.A closely fought contest with a dramatic finish and I didn't mind who won.I think most people knew this would be one of the best games of the group stage.
All class from PnG spine. I think apart from the Aussies PNG has a better spine than any team compared. The halves were on 🔥. Continue maintain this spine and we might be in the finals🙏🇵🇬💯
Oh damn, I kinda agree but what about Tonga? Tonga vs Kiwis 2017 made a huge snipe and also against England aswell, making huge comebacks in certain amount of times. But still love to the kumuls !!
I rate Tonga alot. This wasn't very convincing for me though. I think the NZ team would have dismantled them. The main thing is they got the win and HAVE to improve massively to win this tournament. England and Tonga so far getting away with an obvious forward pass. Hope rugby isn't turning Into boxing ... I got NZ To win this year if England knockout Aus. Good luck Tonga from England 👍🏻
Best match in the comp so far. Congrats to our Pacifica brothers 🇹🇴 for the win. But Tonga ALMOST regretted putting their B Team against the Kumuls...almost. 😁
I Can obviously see a clear forward pass for the Tongan's first try. Ball was delivered before the line but and the receiver receiving it after the line
Tbh, Kumuls scotched x3 tries over the line. They probably should have won if they'd got all those. One was wrongly called no-try though the ref gave No Try so the video-ref had to see enough to overrule that which they decided they could not (even if htey say they saw the ball touch the white line (they did not, it did not) so that ruling ended up being fair. The player did not dive low was the mistake. Kumuls were really high-energy and played very well. Tonga, will probably get better in the next matches and QFs so that will be a good game to watch then. Slow start for them. Best match of the Rugby League World Cup so far. Awesome game and contest and very watchable teams.
@@jamainekakarouts8034 have u watched the game .....well im complaining because im concern this game was so unfair especially to the papua new guineans
Penisini needs to work on his positioning in defense. He needs to move out and trust his inside teammates to cover the inside. There were 4 overlaps on his side one of which was a try for PNG because he stayed inside and let the outside wide open. Sione Katoa managed to hit 2 passes and 1 was where the PNG wing stood in touch. Suli on the other side was very good both in attack and defense.
Great game displayed by both teams. The match officials have history when officiating crucial games especially with Pacific Island nations. You all know what happened in the last world cup that broke the hearts of Tongans. May be the official don't want Tonga to face England in the quarter finals. But with last PNG'S victory over England in POM, it wont be an easy game with the Kumuls.
@@jackwantum9284 keep telling yourself that. Tonga back ups beat you guys. Taumalolo, havili,hopoate, masila, koni, etc didn't play if they did we will kill you guys more.
Ok PNG Come out of the Blocks Fast n Hard. .. Our Boys MMT they are SLOW Starters ...Bloody Tough Game though ...Tonga very Lucky to get out of Jail to Win 🌺 👏All the Best Kumuls for your next Match.💯
A game of inches, just go to show if the opportunity presents, have to ensure.. Ifs, buts, should of could of regardless, great game of endeavor, 78th minute seal..predicted 1, 2, Congratulations Tonga, will to win evident; PNG, although not the desired result, enough to suggest you possess the game to overcome future adversaries..Good fortunes ahead for you both..
Good defense most of the way for PNG except try 2 and 4 to Tonga. Tonga played the complete game. PNG's two disallowed tries were the fault of the scorers alone, like many sports, it's often a game of inches.
The biggest loss in this World Cup was that it was held in England 🤦♂️ if it was held somewhere like NZ or AUS, I guarantee even the pool games would’ve had stadiums sold out and also have a hype atmosphere
A big shame to the hosting nation officials 👎👎👎👎 It's unfair and humiliating on the world stage of some of the bad calls against PNG, it's a shame when you are not blind but choose to be blind, the world is watching you, all the technologies are there but no ethical reviews done 🙄 What a shame England the hosting nation and the world cup match officials especially the refs they need to do better then that... it's almost like we are still in the the days of our ancestors 👎👎
Doesn't matter who got robbed or who won that's life move on people complaining won't change a damm thing but best of luck for both teams for the remainder of the comp
Big forward pass from Tonga for their 1st try. How did the ref n lines man over look and award this try. Need to look at this try again NRLWC... It's to fare at all
Useless Russell unmarked on wing has simple job of running toward try line & putting ball down, but he does school boy error & steps on side line, just butchered an certain trie & potentially costing your team the match! Great match & effort by both sides though. PNG coming so close to such an amazing upset!
Kumuls was the winner..Tongas first try was a forward pass..one of kumuls try right at the corner was was disqualified..replay of such try should be screen at all angles before decision making..such as NRL Australia does..go kumuls the best team of pool D..
Kumuls got robbed, first try for Tonga was a clear forward pass and Kumuls try by Tai at the corner was disallowed, disgraceful!! Whatever the outcome at the end, Tonga won so congrats, Kumuls keep your heads up high, people's Champ!!it's not done yet.🇵🇬❤️💯🏝️
Hope Tonga wake up after this game if they want to all the way. players know they good enough put not playing there best preform like last World Cup Nz
When people realize Papua New Guinea didn't have their full strength side playing and had a lot of 2nd tier players in their team yet it took all of tongas 15 players(13 plus the on field ref and bunker) on the field to beat the kumuls
@@marcusbouge4848 you forgot that rugby league is png main sport should be no excuse yet I’m sure if our starter taumalolo and David Fifita yet Konrad, siliva havili, will hopoate, Murdoch masila even crazy kotoni stagg but injured png have no chance.
@@marcusbouge4848 haha 😂 you sure you’s keep bringing up png full strength team , the thing is png full strength team could never beat an Kangaroos side ? can’t really compare full strength sides 😂😂
Poor attention in defense for most of those tries. Makes me think both sides lack some gas in the tank as they wind down tackle counts. They need to improve if they're wanting to challenge the Tier 1 boys who pounce on every opportunity.
Say watever yous PNG fans want but and the end of the day TONGA 🇹🇴 (MMT) got the WIN !! The ref on the field did his job by giving it to the video ref to decide if its a TRY or NO TRY so take the L and move on and focus on your next game MMT BABY LESSSGOOO !! T🇹🇴 GANG💯
@@suevirani3982 i dont think so..we have all watched that game... all was improper..foolish decisions by bunker too... if Tonga was defeated by these gallent PNG Kumuls you should bow your heads out in shame...coz you thought that it that way. This game was a great game unlike samoa and England. Yet decisions were unjust..
This highlights is unfair, they should also replayed the highlights of PNG put the try at the side corner and video ref, with bunker are making very bad decision by cancelling the try. Other highlights I've seen, they give complete miss tries so forth. This really clearly tells us that UK WORLD CUP IS SUCKS . PNG KUMULS in to pull our from world cup. Png won, but ref and bunker all in one sided.
0:31 / 3:00 Rugby League World Cup 2021. With all the technology in Rugby League, we cannot validate this try and make this clear mistake. Poorly organized tournament from opening ceremony to refereeing. This is world cup, not Pacific Test or European Championship. Pull up your socks !
@@bigo1011 Give or take Taumalolo. Tonga has to make do with who they have brought. Saying B-Team is no good excuse for a world cup favorite side. I'm just saying.
Guys can y'all just accept the Outcome ?PNG lost yes that happened,you will go no where complaining about the referee/bunker ,he wasn't being racist,he wasn't being deliberate ,or Your Egos being shut down or challenged ? This just shows how shallow minded people in Our country (PNG) can be . so save yourselves the humiliation in the comments I know there's a point in what all of you are saying but the RLWC must Go on !!! congratulations Tongan brothers love from PNG 🇵🇬💯👍🏽
This game was robbed by the ref and bunker. Trying to compare a simple trial match in the NRL with this Match is total insanity. England is not capable of officiating World Cup in terms of Rugby Leauge, Totally Usless. Tow ref in the filed should be much better then one romming around ami-lessly in the filed doing nothing.
